hi,
I visited fsf and but couldn't get a new more recent version than the
2.95.2(October 24, 1999) so instead I tried the same on two other box's
one with RH 6.2 and antoher with Debian, the debian 2.2 installed which
had gcc 2.95.2 installed and it worked partially...but on another RH 6.2
box with gcc 2.95.2 19991024 then same thing occured.
so now
RedHat 6.2 gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 FAILS
Mandrake 7.2 gcc version 2.95.3 19991030 FAILS
Debian 2.2 gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 PARTIAL (Fails@
make[5]: Leaving directory
`/root/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/hw/vnc'
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `../../../libvncauth/libvncauth.a',
needed by `Xvnc'.
make[4]: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
...
make: *** [World] Error 2
so I am wondering if it fails are so many different versions of gcc
builds isn't there something wrong with the makedepende code itself or
any modification to the paramneter used to build makedepend. Or is this
is a problem of the gcc packager from RH and MDK ?
any idea on why the libvncauth.a erro popped up..
thanks again
