Please in the future don't uuencode text files, send them as plain text 
in the body of your message.  You are effectively preventing a lot of 
people from helping you because many people cannot be bothered to open 
binary attachments or look for uudecode (which is not a standard program 
on a PC).

Here's the error message:

c:/djgpp/bin/make.exe -C lib/ lib
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `c:/djgpp/libnet/lib'
gcc -O2 -Wall -Werror -Wno-unused -Wstrict-prototypes \
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -g -I../include -Iinclude \
-c drivers/local.c -o drivers/local.o  
cc1.exe: warnings being treated as errors
drivers/local.c:46: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of \
`next_port'

This simply says that the function `next_port' was declared with no 
return type, and that the compiler treats that function as returning an 
int.  But because the compiler switches cause it to treat warnings as 
errors, the compilation stops there.

The solution is to modify the source to declare the function properly.
