I was trying to build GNU tar 1.20 but got stuck on gnulib mbchar. I created a testdir from the latest gnulib mbchar and this is the result: make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/people/tgc/mbchar.test/mbchar/gllib' source='localcharset.c' object='localcharset.o' libtool=no \ DEPDIR=.deps depmode=sgi /bin/ksh ../build-aux/depcomp \ cc -woff 728 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -c -o localcharset.o localcharset.c source='mbchar.c' object='mbchar.o' libtool=no \ DEPDIR=.deps depmode=sgi /bin/ksh ../build-aux/depcomp \ cc -woff 728 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -c -o mbchar.o mbchar.c cfe: Error: ./mbchar.h, line 239: Syntax Error mb_width_aux (wint_t wc) ---------------------^ cfe: Error: ./mbchar.h, line 244: Syntax Error return (w >= 0 ? w : iswcntrl (wc) ? 0 : 1 ); --^ cfe: Error: ./mbchar.h, line 244: Syntax Error return (w >= 0 ? w : iswcntrl (wc) ? 0 : 1 ); -------------------------------------^ cfe: Warning 625: ./mbchar.h, line 244: Empty declaration return (w >= 0 ? w : iswcntrl (wc) ? 0 : 1 ); ----------------------------------------------^ make[3]: *** [mbchar.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/tgc/mbchar.test/mbchar/gllib' make[2]: *** [check] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/tgc/mbchar.test/mbchar/gllib' make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/tgc/mbchar.test/mbchar' make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
