    Re: compface-1.4
    The fix to compile on a modern system is simple: in cmain.c and uncmain.c, replace the lines

    extern int errno;

    char *strerror();

    char *strerrorwrap();

    by

    #include <errno.h>

    #include <string.h>

    char *strerrorwrap();

    It would be nice if whoever put this project up could take note and make a new release, but the listed project author is the original program author, and there's no email address attached.

    (This is probably what earlier authors in this thread were trying to say, but it seems that the posts here are always displayed as HTML formatted mode, even if you tried to enter raw text, which previewed correctly; this causes include file names to disappear, for example.)

    That fixed it, sorry about double posting, and sorry I

    OK, well I added #include to both those files and
    now it fails

    [owen@localhost compface-1.4]$ make
    gcc -c -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1
    -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -g
    -O2 cmain.c
    cmain.c:17:9: #include expects "FILENAME" or

    make: *** [cmain.o] Error 1

    I might have to try going back to gcc-2.95.3 and see
    if that "fixes" it

    Anyway, thnks for your help
