TightVNC 1.2.3 compiler trouble on IRIX 6.5.6m

[<Joe...@kn...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to build v1.2.3 on an SGI O2 running IRIX 6.5.6m. I fixed most
trouble using Ellis Golub's suggestions on the VNC mailing list (dated Jun
27 2001). I used the package with zlib and jpeglib because the default
jpeglib in 6.5.6 is probably not adequate (too old). 

Bulding the vnc-tools went fine. However, building Xvnc didn't. I used the
command 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
	make BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS=-DFIXUP_CPP_WHITESPACE World
------------------------------------------------------------------------

as suggested by Ellis, but after a couple of minutes (and a lot of warnings)
I encounter the next error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I read some comments from Sven Hazejager in an earlier thread about
manually linking the Xvnc binary, but I don't seem to be able to get
libvnc.a at all. I also have an IRIX 6.5.13m system on stand-by which I can
use, but the compilers are still MIPSpro 7.2.1, so there's no change in
that. I could also user Gcc 2.95 if anyone thinks that would help, but I
prefer MIPSpro (better optimization, and I need the speed, 'cause I wanna
use a dial-up connection to VNC).

Any suggestions anyone?

Cheers,

Joeri Mastop
