Re: [Bug-gnubg] Building on Ubuntu 14.04 : Temporary Workaround

[Thomas A. Moulton]

Michael,

I did some  checking and it appears that the problem was introduced in 
Rev 1.49 of configure.ac

In that revision AC_PROG_CC_STDC was added on line 77

I commented out that line in the HEAD revision (line 81) and ./gnubg 
--tty did come up as expected.

The commit message is:

revision 1.49
date: 2015-07-04 16:51:33 -0400;  author: plm;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 
-2;  commitid: UehJtF6XUb2hH0sy;
Compile as C99

I am not sure if there is much else I can do and be accurate...

Tom
