Re: gEDA-user: Problem compiling gnetman . . . .

Hi Bill,

I installed the new version of guile.  Now the compilation barfs when it
can't find a typedef.   Here's the output of "make":

I checked it out, and it turns out that the problem is the UTINT
declaration in:

static char *readLine(void)
{
    schLineLength = 0;
    UTINT c;
[. . . . etc . . . .]


UTINT is defined in ${SRCDIR}/gnetman/src/include/uttypes.h, but
somehow that typedef never percolates up to schread.c via the #include
chain.

I tried to edit schread.c to incorporate a #include, but the file is
apparenently read-only, even after I did a chmod on everything I could
lay my hands on.  It must have something to do with the CVS system.  I
am unfamiliar with working with CVS; perhaps I should learn it.

Therefore, if you could provide some advice about how to edit your
stuff, I would very much appreciate it.  Also, perhaps a clear
definition of the way you have architected your #include chain would
be a very good thing.

Thanks for your help,

Stuart
