Enclosed is an e-mail from jclark.com!jjc.

The changes he suggests helped so gcc-2.3.3 could compile errarg.cc
from groff-1.06 without errors.

I just thought this could be of interest to others.

(Now there is problems with groff-1.06 - lex.cc as reported in another
e-mail)


Best,
Eigil Krogh Sorensen.

gcc on your system appears not to be able to handle anonymous unions
correctly.  You could try changing errarg.h so it doesn't use a union:
change

  union {
    const char *s;
    int n;
    char c;
    double d;
  };

to

  const char *s;
  int n;
  char c;
  double d;

in errarg.h.  This would be inefficient, but it might work.
