1. In attempting to compile the curses library for DJGPP I found at OAK
in the file aecur102.zip.  I received this error in the compilation of the
individual make files:


D:\GPP257\CONTRIB>make
gcc -O -Iinc -c src/popmenu.c -o objs/popmenu.o
src/popmenu.c: In function `scrollmenul':
src/popmenu.c:49: `va_start' used in function with fixed args
src/popmenu.c: In function `popmenul':
src/popmenu.c:63: `va_start' used in function with fixed args
make.exe: *** [objs/popmenu.o] Error 1
Has anyone compiled this library successfully?  If so How can I?


2. If I removed that file.  The other programs compile but then when it 
attempts to pack them into a library I get this message:


D:\GPP257\CONTRIB>make
ar rv lib/libcurses.a objs objs/alert.o objs/boxwin.o objs/cornerch.o objs/drawb

Can't open file objs
make.exe: *** [lib/libcurses.a] Error 1

In other words how can I make it ignore the directory name?
this is the makefile include. with object lines deleted for size.
#   makefile for Curses! v. 3.X
#   this makefile was written for GNUish MAKE

LONGARGS = gcc:ar

VPATH = .;src

CFLAGS = -O -Iinc

ODIR = objs

LIB = lib

$(ODIR)/%.o : %.c
	gcc $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $(ODIR)/$*.o

OBJS = \
	$(ODIR)/alert.o         \
	...
	$(ODIR)/ckbdintf.o      

$(LIB)/libcurses.a : $(ODIR) $(OBJS)
	ar rv $@ $?
	ranlib $@

$(ODIR) :
	md $(ODIR)


Thanks for any help
