Re: possible gcc compilation problem in emacs-19.25
From: Phil Summins, Australian National University

Hi,
 My system is a Sparc 10/51 running SUNOS 4.1.3u1. I have 
recently downloaded the gcc compiler version 2.6.0 and have 
successfully compiled the X11R6 distribution using it. I
then downloaded emacs-19.25 and tried to compile it using gcc
version 2.6.0 and configuring it for my recently installed
X11R6. I compiled X11R6 with the ForceNormalLibraries option, so
that it included the static as well as shared libraries. My configure 
command line was:

  ./configure sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3 --with-x11 --with-x-toolkit \
     --x-includes=/usr/local/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/local/X11R6/lib

and part of my config.status file appears at the end of this message. When 
I use make to compile emacs-19.25, it fails with the messages:

gcc -static -c  -Demacs -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I/usr/local/gnu/emacs-19.25/src       -I/usr/local/X11R6/include      -g -O xfns.c
xfns.c: In function `XScreenNumberOfScreen':
xfns.c:4061: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
xfns.c:4063: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
xfns.c: In function `Fx_open_connection':
xfns.c:4153: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `xfns.o'
Current working directory /tmpx/gnu/emacs-19.25/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `src'

I also tried with gcc version 2.5.8 and the problem persists.
Sorry to trouble you, but if you have any suggestions for
getting around this problem I would greatly appreciate it
Thanks,
