eho at cognito.princeton.edu (Eric Ho)'s question "Has anyone got RCS
installed & working correctly under SunOS 4.0.1?... [My attempt] barfed
at rcsutil.c (saying some illegal pointer types or something)?" by
writing:
I found that the easiest way to get it to compile without error was to
use the GNU c-compiler (gcc1.35). Now it works just fine. Don't
forget to use the "-traditional" flag.
It's cleaner to get the types correct in rcsutil.c. RCS's src/Makefile says:
# Also, set SIGNAL_TYPE to be what your signal() handlers yield.
# Old-fashioned signal handlers yield 'int'; the newer ones 'void'.
SIGNAL_TYPE = int
Change the `int' to `void' and rcsutil.c will compile.
