Re: Any Success on SuSE7.3?

[Gregory Casamento]

Is it possible that the env argument to main is the problem?   It seems, from
looking at your build that gdomap built successfully.  The gdomap program does
not use the main declaration shown later.   Listing follows: 

shared_obj/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/NSNumber10.o 
shared_obj/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/NSNumber11.o 
shared_obj/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/NSNumber12.o  ; (cd 
shared_obj/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu; rm -f libgnustep-base.so 
libgnustep-base.so.1; ln -s libgnustep-base.so.1.0.2 libgnustep-
base.so.1; ln -s libgnustep-base.so.1 libgnustep-base.so; )
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gnustep-base-1.0.2/Source'
Making all in Tools...
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gnustep-base-1.0.2/Tools'
Making all for ctool gdomap...
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `internal-ctool-all'.

  NOTE: I am assuming that since it says "nothing to be done" the tool was
built.

In "Advanced Programming in the UNIX environment" p167, it says:

"int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])

Since ANSI C speficies that the main function be written with two arguments,
and since this third argument provides no benefit over the global variable
environ, POSIX1 specifies that the environ should be used instead of the
(possible) third argument."

This raises two questions:
1) Do newer versions of GCC no longer allow this? (could someone verify this?)
2) If this is no longer considered "portable" should we switch to using 
   environ to initialize NSProcessInfo?

Later, GJC
