Hi .. I just tried compiling Samba under DG-UX for motorola and ran into a problem which I've subsequently figured out. It seems the -o switch later in the cc command line is a "write-protection" switch that should be removed from the line in Makefile thus: .c.o: $(INCLUDES) @echo Compiling $*.c @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $(srcdir)$*.c -o $(srcdir)$*.o to being ... .c.o: $(INCLUDES) @echo Compiling $*.c @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $(srcdir)$*.c $(srcdir)$*.o all the other platforms I've compiled it for didnt have anything nearly as stupid :) Also too please suppress my email addy when making note of this change for DG-UX users :) thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (__) em-see-ess-tee system m00m00 (@@) m00000! c0wz r' us! mims system support /-------\/ "If you're so special, why aren't you dead?" / | || * ||----|| <- ~~ ~~ | "I know that mess spelt backwards is ssem, and I felt much | better armed with that information."
