Not SunOS by any chance? Seems that the header files don't include function prototypes, so gcc -Wall complains. Anyway, you can safely disregard these warnings. I'll see what can be reasonably done to make these warnings go away in future releases. > makeinfo --no-split --fill-column 78 -o djgppfaq.info djgppfaq.num > Making info file `djgppfaq.info' from `djgppfaq.num'. > djgppfaq.num:4477: Unknown info command `s:.'. > make: *** [djgppfaq.info] Error 2 On Unix boxes, don't use anything but the latest Texinfo 3.7 to build the FAQ. The sources use Texinfo macros heavily, and prior to 3.7 Makeinfo had subtle bugs in that part. I found those bugs and corrected them in Texinfo 3.6 which comes with DJGPP v2.0 (and reported them to FSF), but they only made it into the official release in 3.7. I forgot to say so in the readme file, sorry. > Is there a newer faq to get? (I didn't see it on ftp.delorie.com). Not yet. I have a large pile of paper sitting on my desk waiting for the next release, but I didn't get to it yet. > btw ... the faq looks really good Thanks. Please tell me if you have any comments on the way it is organized, cross-referenced and indexed. I didn't see many examples of documents that are specifically built to be easy for searching a specific piece of info, so I'd like to hear any feedback you can give me.
