Re: Trouble while compiling Xemacs

This defeats the fixinclude stuff the gcc is doing and it may be fatal for files like varargs.h and stdargs.h! gcc uses by default /usr/include as the last on its list of include directories and that's where it belongs! I've seen all the other posts and they are valid too but they will probably not solve this particular compile time error. So get a newer version of the gcc and configure your build without -I/usr/include on the compile comand line and everything shoudl work fine;-) Thanks, -- Marco ST> bytecode.c: In function `funcall_compiled_function': ST> bytecode.c:486: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned ST> bytecode.c: In function `invalid_byte_code_error': ST> bytecode.c:1492: `__builtin_va_alist' undeclared (first use in this ST> function) ST> bytecode.c:1492: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ST> bytecode.c:1492: for each function it appears in.)
