Hello, I tried the seond test release (hugs98-ffi-09072002b-src.tar.gz) on Mac OS X 10.1.5 with the April 2002 Developer Tools. I found a typo in machdep.c (a wrong parameter name) and a typo in the aclocal.m4 script (SYMBOL1 was used twice in the Mac test). Also the test for a leading underscore in aclocal.m4 does not work (the return value $? gets clobbered by 'test'). I've attached a patch for these bugs, and after applying this patch I could successfully build and test Hugs. Regards, Alistair Cloete.
