Thanks, that solved *that* problem-- I copied the typedef to the top of
the .c file, and *that* module built without error. The next one died
with some other error, but for the same reason: Things are being left
out that should be in, or v.v. C-Kermit has so many cross-referenced
#ifdef's, #ifndef's, (lines upon lines of "#ifdef WHATEVER; #define
THIS; #undefine THAT:...) and #include's pointing back and forth across
different files that it is really not possible for me to tell what's
happening.
So, I'm back to my original question: Which of the makefile targets
work best? When presented with a package that has very system-specific
targets, which is best? Which flavor of Unix does Cygwin most
resemble? Linux? FreeBSD? Or maybe a more general target, if
available, such as BSD or System5R4? Or-? C-Kermit has never failed
to build and run "straight out of the box" when it was obvious which
makefile target to use.
Thanks again for your help,
Jeff
