[Brlcad-users] Build failure on Debian/Woody due to worker.c

[Balbir T. <th...@ma...>]

Hi,
I downloaded the latest (01/15/2005) CVS sources,
ran autogen.sh on fedora core 3. Then tranfered the
sources to Debian/Woody, ran configure and started
build. The build fails with error message 

worker.c: In function `do_run':
worker.c:249: parse error before `int'
worker.c:256: `buffer' undeclared (first use in this function)
worker.c:256: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
worker.c:256: for each function it appears in.)
worker.c:261: `p' undeclared (first use in this function)
worker.c:290: `pid' undeclared (first use in this function)
worker.c:323: `wpid' undeclared (first use in this function)
worker.c:323: `waitret' undeclared (first use in this function)
worker.c:332: `tmp_res' undeclared (first use in this function)

Defining -Dlinux or even removing the macro block statement
in which the p,pid,wpid,waitret, and tmp_res variables are
declared does not seem to solve the problem. The same problem
also exists with the stable release 7.0.2.

The code look perfectly ok to me and am quite perplexed by this.
An tips will be greatly appreciated ?

sincerely
