Howdy:
I ran into two (easily fixed) problems when compiling wdiff-0.03:
1. In getopt.h, the prototype for getopt should not specify
const char arguments unless the GNU library is being used---
this problem is fixed in most of the getopt.h's distributed
with the current utilities (including diff 2.0). Without the
fix, wdiff would not compile under AIX.
2. In wdiff.c, the prototype for strstr should not specify a
const char return value---a strstr prototype specifying a
char return value is provided in <strings.h> on a number
of OS's, including AIX, HP-UX, and ULTRIX.
Thanks!
