It seems I need more than this patch to compile a test version. It seems this needs to be applied on top of a previous patch, or? Again, this looks like a lot of code to set the program name and to handle the exit code. And I'm still not convinced that defining a DCL symbol and deleting it at image exit is the right thing to do. As far as I can see, it can be simpler than that. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
