For starters, this is what I encountered on my Mac OS X machine: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd src/bible-kjv-4.20/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/bible-kjv-4.20$ ls CVS bible.c brl.c makeconcfile.c tsl.c Makefile bible.h brl.h makeconcordance tsl.h README.bible bible.lsm buildcmp.c makeindex.c util.c README.ftp bible.pkg cmp.h makeindex2 util.h README.linux bible.rawtext compresslib.c squish.c version.h TAGS bible.stopwords debian squish.h bible.1 brl-index.c makeconc.pl testall [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/bible-kjv-4.20$ less debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/bible-kjv-4.20$ make cc -Wall -Wformat -Werror -Wshadow -W -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wbad-function-cast -Wpointer-arith -g2 -ggdb -DDESTLIB=\"/usr/lib\" -c -o bible.o bible.c cc1: warnings being treated as errors bible.c: In function 'cmd_inrange': bible.c:447: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strcmp' bible.c: In function 'cmd_list': bible.c:517: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlen' bible.c:517: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strlen' bible.c:530: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strcat' bible.c:530: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strcat' bible.c:533: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strcat' bible.c: In function 'do_command': bible.c:706: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strlen' bible.c:714: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strlen' bible.c:724: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strlen' make: *** [bible.o] Error 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/bible-kjv-4.20$ Using the tarball that I have convereted to autotools and attached to the initial bug report, it compiles without a hitch. I understand your reluctance to using autotools (it is rather complex). However, as in the case of this package Debian is the upstream of it, it would be nice if some effort could be undertaken to make it easy to compile and install on non-Debian systems.
