Hi,
What's the matter ? I have just tried to compile ELM 2.4PL17 on Encore
93, and it's wrong.
I've got first a redeclaration of memcpy... (fixed: I suppressed the
#define MEMCPY in line 256 in defs.h)
But then, I found out a "va_dcl" symbol before the "{" of each
function. What is it ? My compilator refuse it. Did I make a mistake
during the configuration . What can I do ? Please, HELP NEEDED !!
Marc.

What version of Umax V are you running? I've built all patchlevels of
Elm 2.4 on a 93 running Umax V 3.1.2 with no difficulty whatsoever. If
you are running a previous release of 3.1, I'd recommend upgrading if
possible.

The "va_dcl" is what's called a variable arguments declaration. This
is an old-style C construct commonly referred to as varargs(5) (Umax V
has a man page on this functionality). This functionality allows you
to pass a variable number of arguments to a single function.
Standard C reimplemented the varargs(5) functionality with a set of
functions collectively called stdarg, which does exactly the same
thing.
Since the varargs(5) functions are old-style C, you'll have to be sure
that you tell Configure to use the C compiler flag "-q extensions=pcc_c"
(which you can abbreviate "-q ext=pcc").
Let me know if you have any further problems configuring and building
Elm 2.4.
