Hi everyone,

This is information for those people trying to compile Multiverse
	and getting depressed....:-(

Thanks go to Sean Fuller (FULLER@aedc-vax.af.mil) for these fixes for a
	Solaris 2.1 and GNU C (2.3.3?)

N.B. This list may not be exhaustive:

1)* both inside.h and outside.h contain #include <something.h>;  the
   semi-colon is a problem with GNU C, I think it will probably cause
   other compilers to choke also.
2)# messages.c needs to have filio.h included (oh, by the way Sun
   solaris 2.1 is UNIX System V Release 4.
3)# my machine does not have strings.h, it uses string.h instead
4)* all of the make files use cc, I changed them to use $(CC) instead
   and set it in my environment
5)# my machine does not have ranlib, many other machines dont, to fix
   this I changed all occurances of it in makefiles to $(RANLIB) and
   then I defined this in my environment.  A lot of software does this
   because ranlib is not on all machines
6)# M_PI is not in my math.h  so I defined it as 3.14159265
   this was referenced in bezier.c, cone.c etc.
7)# I had to include my X11 include path in all of the make files
   this could be done with a variable, mine is /usr/openwin/include
   it is this on all suns
8)* in objectmanager.h, the event_u should be tagged as a union not a struct
9)# to get the file control things like O_RDONLY you need to include
   fcntl.h on my machine, and any other sys5r4 machine.
   these are used in ReadIndPoly.c WriteGeneric.c ReadIndexed.c
10)# both libServer and libGraphics define findObject and addObject
    this will not compile unless one of them is removed
11)# because of circular references between libraries I had to
    include them multiple times in order to resolve the references
12)# I had to link -lelf -lsocket -lucb -lnsl in the link process
13)# I took findObject and addObject out of Graphics lib this allowed
    me to build everything except for the client.  To build the
    client I put them back in to graphics lib.
14)# I linked clients with typeParse.o also

* Items are fixed in 1.0.1 (Not many is it? :-()
# Will be fixed in 1.0.2 (Hopefully :-)) BTW Items 10, 13 & 14 are related.

Thanks go to Derek Jacoby (jacoby@odin.mda.uth.tmc.edu) for these fixes for
	gcc (don't know the machine or os)

1)# The problem with the def'n of NULL was solved by placing the line
   #include <stdio.h> at the start of graphics.c, inside.c, and face.c

2)# in graphics.c and ext_biwing.c I placed the lines #define TRUE (1) and
   #define FALSE (0)

3)* in inside.h and outside.h I was getting an error telling me that #include
   requires either "fname" or <fname>. It turns out that you had a semicolon
   after the #include statement in each of those files. When I removed the

   semicolons that problem was solved.
4)* I got a funny error in objectManager.h. it said:
../../include/objectManager.h:69: `event_u' defined as wrong kind of tag
   I wasn't sure what caused this, but it seemed like another prototyping
   problem and when I removed the prototype it quit giving me that error.

5)# It tells me that _addObject and findObject are multiply defined.

This one isn't quite compiling yet but should be with 1.0.2 when it's
released!

The release of 1.0.2 shouldn't be long - but perhaps everyone should try
to get somewhere so that as many enhancements are rolled into the next
release as possible...?

Robert.
