this is what happens when I 'make universe' after a successfull './configure': [localhost:local/nhc98-1.02/src] root# make universe cd syntax; make EXE= SYSTEM='-D__NetBSD__' STATICFLAG='' myinstall cd ugendir; make EXE= sh ../../bin/mycc -s main.o gen.o lex.yy.o y.tab.o id.o tree.o yyerror.o -o ugen /usr/bin/ld: can't use -s with input files containg indirect symbols (output file must contain at least global symbols, for maximum stripping use -x) make[2]: *** [ugen] Error 1 make[1]: *** [ugen] Error 2 make: *** [myinstall] Error 2 I am not too sure about what to do about this. I am doing this using Darwin (Mac OS X). Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions.yahoo.com/
