I changed my mind, deleted "the end" and decided to not give up ;-))) The main reason was, that I wanted to get 4.0.2 compiled before X-Mas and it took me too long to wait for the developers ;-) So I looked into the code of libXfont because there was the undefined reference to 'xfree'. In xc/lib/font/include I found 'xfree' in "fontmisc.h" as '#define xfree(p) Xfree((pointer) p)'. Then I looked into the static libXfont.a with "nm -s libXfont.a" searching for 'xfree'. And really, I found it once, belonging to the part "fontfcn.o", while 'Xfree' was found several times. It seems that there is a missing definition of 'xfree' in "fontfcn.c" (dir: xc/lib/font/Type1/). I solved this problem with adding '#include "fontmisc.h"' directly in the line after '#include "fontfcn.h"'. After that 4.0.2 compiled successfully, and it seems to run without problems. Probably this will solve your compilation problem, too. :) I must say, that my knowledge about such things isn't the best, so I can't say at this point, that everything is fine now! This should be verified by the maintainer ob this library... > [...]Really strange. Today I built Lynx 2.8.4dev.15 and seen the > same warnings.

Both, the 2.2 and 2.1.3 are self compiled on my sastem, but afaik there were no problems so far... > [...]Maybe AMD bug hehe? I have an Athlon...

Almost everything is compiled with -O3 -mcpu=k6 -march=k6. Maybe it's an overkill, but it's only a large playground for me ;-))) And now I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new millenium :) |Tom| _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list Xpert@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
