To: MACRO32@WKUVX1.BITNET Date: Fri, 23 Jul 93 23:30:16 PDT X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] I just pulled make.zip from ftp.spc.edu and installed it on a VAX/VMS 5.5-2 system. I decided to make make using make. Here is what happened: Athens$ make/makefile=makefile.mak lib/cre/help make make cc /optimize/debug mkdate cc /optimize/debug mkexit cc /optimize/debug mkext cc /optimize/debug mkfile cc /optimize/debug mkmacro cc /optimize/debug mkmain cc /optimize/debug mkscan cc /optimize/debug mkshow cc /optimize/debug mksub cc /optimize/debug mkutil fidptr = &fib.FIB$W_FID; %CC-E-UNDECLARED, "FIB$W_FID" is not declared within the scope of this usage.

At line number 521 in PATH$SITE:[TOOLS.MAKE]MKUTIL.C;1. } %CC-I-NOBJECT, No object file produced.

I #defined FIB$W_FIB to fib$r_fid_overlay.fib$w_fid, and it worked OK, but the comments indicate that changese were recently made to accomodate VMS/AXP. I know diddle about AXP but it looks like the changes aren't 'back to VAX' compatible. -- Bill Baines, Operations and Tech.
