Hi, I got gcc from svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk two days ago. I modified macro.c, cpplib.h, Init.c, Internal.h to use 3 new predefined macros, very similar to __DATE__ and __TIME__. When I tried compiling gcc, as per http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html, I get this error on makedepend.c, which I did not modify: <snip> ranlib libcpp.a /cygdrive/c/httpgcc.gnu.orgwikiSvnSetup/trunk/host-i686-pc-cygwin/prev-gcc/xgcc -B/cygdrive/c/httpgcc.gnu.orgwikiSvnSetup/trunk/host-i686-pc-cygwin/prev-gcc/ -B /usr/local/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ -I../.././libcpp -I. -I../.././libcpp/../include -I../.././libcpp/include -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes - Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Werror -I../.././libcpp -I. -I../.././libcpp/../include -I../../ ./libcpp/include -c -o makedepend.o -MT makedepend.o -MMD -MP -MF .deps/makedepend.Po ../.././libcpp/makedepend.c cc1: warnings being treated as errors ../.././libcpp/makedepend.c: In function 'parse_options': ../.././libcpp/makedepend.c:84: error: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type make[3]: *** [makedepend.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/httpgcc.gnu.orgwikiSvnSetup/trunk/host-i686-pc-cygwin/libcpp' <snip> Have I got the wrong? -- Regards, Alf Lacis Senior Software & Design Engineer A.i.
