Hello everyone !

We have here a DRS6000 from ICL, running SVR4:
# uname -a
unix unicorn 4.0 5.1.04 DRS 6000 sparc

I have tried building Ghostscript 2.5.2 on this machine using the
SVR$ settings. I have several problems:

a) In gdevepsn.c (line 101 and 107) I get an Initialiser doesn't fit
	warning, showing values of 131 and 168. They are assigned
	to char, so I assume that char is *signed*?

b) In iinit.c, there are a few places where it seems that a constant
	variable is assigned to. I don't have my ANSI-Standards around,
	but this looks wrong to me:

---- iinit.c ----
[...]
   163	/* Run the initialization procedures of the individual operator files. */
   164	void
   165	zop_init()
   166	{	op_def_ptr _ds *tptr;
   167		op_def_ptr def;
		^^^^^^^^^^op-def_ptr is typedef'd const in opdef.h
   168		for ( tptr = op_defs_all; *tptr != 0; tptr++ )
   169		   {	for ( def = *tptr; def->oname != 0; def++ ) ;
                              ^^^ assigned here             ^^^^
   170			if ( def->proc != 0 )
   171				((void (*)(P0()))(def->proc))();
   172		   }
   173	}
   174	/* Initialize the operator table. */
   175	void
   176	op_init()
   177	{	int count = 1;
   178		op_def_ptr _ds *tptr;
   179		op_def_ptr def;
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^same here
   180		const char _ds *nstr;
   181	
   182		/* Do a first pass just to count the operators. */
   183	
   184		for ( tptr = op_defs_all; *tptr != 0; tptr ++ )
   185		 for ( def = *tptr; def->oname != 0; count++, def++ )
                       ^^^^and here
[...]
--------
and some other places.

	It looks wrong, but I'm not a ANSI guru, and my H&S is far away...
	My compiler certainly barfs here..

c)	The gettimeofday of the DRS6000 only knows one argument, the
	struct time pointer, not the struct timezone one. I can use
	the global timezone variable to get around it, but is there
	a better way?


So here is my foremost question: Has anyone got GS to run on such
a machine and is willing to share the info?

Thx alot

Mathias
