or to get rt 3.15.1 running

[etc.]

Puuh, strange for me and very confusing to me.
Do I have to aply all these definitions/hints to compile in
ANSI compilance mode?

I think I know the meaning of previous, but didn't find
a previous versions - just the version 3.15.1.

But I would like to get 3.15.1 running. Not the old ones.

Anyway. Perhaps somebody would like to test other older
versions and if theese older versions are available,
perhaps it will be usefull for those people... it's just
an idea...
