That's not good. This means that the return type of the alloca() function on your system is defined to be "char*", when GNU make code expects it to return type "void*". Hm. Can you try editing the makeint.h header file in the make source directory and changing the line: char *alloca (); to say: void *alloca (); and see if that helps? _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
