Stephen, building the canna module of current CVS results in ../../lib-src/ellcc -Wall -Wno-switch -Wundef -Wsign-compare -Wno-char-subscripts -Wpacked -Wunused-parameter -g --mode=compile --mod-output=canna-api_i.o -I../../src -I/home/crestani/src/xemacs/xemacs-21.5/modules/canna/../../src -c canna-api_i.c canna-api_i.c:10: error: syntax error before '-' token canna-api_i.c:20: error: syntax error before '-' token and many other connected errors. Your recent renaming of the canna module causes the error: one use of MODNAME (defined in Makefile.in.in) is to generate C function identifiers, therefore it must itself be a valid C identifier. My patch renames it from canna-api to canna_api, this fixes the build.

Is this only a problem on my local installation? My module-load-path contains: ("/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-modules/" "/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b22/i686-pc-linux/modules/"). The above patches fix canna for me, but there are several ways to approach the problems, and I really don't know what would be the best way. Thus, I didn't send this to -patches. So, please consider this mail more as a bugreport than as a fix. Let me know, if you want me to send my changes to -patches, though, I'd be happy to do this then. -- Marcus
