Help. I'm running Solaris 2.2 on a sparcstation2 and am trying to
compile gnuchess4.0p62 . I get the following error:

    cc -DCACHE -DGDX -DHASGETTIMEOFDAY -DHISTORY -DNULLMOVE  -DOLDTIME -DQUIETBACKGROUND -DSEMIQUIETBOOKGEN -O4 -DHASHFILE=\"/u/local/gnuchess.hash\" -DLANGFILE=\"/u/local/gnuchess.lang\" -DBOOK=\"/u/local/gnuchess.book\" -DBINBOOK=\"/u/local/gnuchess.data\" -c main.c
"./gnuchess.h", line 460: syntax error, probably missing ",", ";" or "="
"./gnuchess.h", line 460: syntax error before or at: *
"./gnuchess.h", line 460: warning: old-style declaration; add "int"
"main.c", line 55: syntax error, probably missing ",", ";" or "="
"main.c", line 55: cannot recover from previous errors

I've traced it to the following set of lines in gnuchess.h :

28: #ifndef __GNUC__
29: #define inline
30: #else
31: #define huge
32: #endif

Apparently __GNUC__ needs to be defined. Am I missing something or is
this a bug ? If it is a bug, is there a simple patch ?

Thanks in advance,
