Hello all,


I am just curious about an error that I *on occassion* have recieved when
compiling certian packages. It looks like this:

/dev/d/usr/djgpp/include/math.h:148: parse error before "long"
/dev/d/usr/djgpp/include/math.h:149: parse error before "long"
/dev/d/usr/djgpp/include/math.h:150: parse error before "long"

When these lines in math.h look like:
extern int isinff(float);
extern int isnanf(float);
extern int finitef(float);

This is somethings that *only* happens during porting of heavy posix-based
applications. It is not a big problem... I always find a work-around. But I
am curious, because none of the packages even use isinff, etc directly
AFAIK. Has anyone else seen this?

Just wondering...
Ben
