#2 Won't compile on Unix

[Anonymous]

Many undeclared variables when compiling on unix. For
example executing:

gcc -c main.c

states _MAX_PATH is undeclared. Many files have
undeclared variables that prevent GC to compile on Unix.

Suggest a Makefile and an updated config.h to solve
these issues.

I got the version from CVS to compile and run on Solaris by
modifying config.h as follows:

I downloaded the latest code out of CVS and tried
compiling it on Unix (IRIX Release 6.5 IP35 and SunOS
5.9). I made the following two modifications to the
Makefile to make it work:

COMPILE.c = gcc
OUTPUT_OPTION = -c -o $@

- We don't have the /usr/ucb/cc language option installed,
hence the change to COMPILE.c to force it to the gcc
compiler

- When compiling on the both the Sun and SGI, gcc
attempted to compile the source files one at a time, and
kept getting undefined symbols (since the symbols were in
the other .c files). After generating the
intermediate .o's, compilation went fine.
