I believe the many warnings like: mutator.c:761: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size are of much greater significance than the undefined labels. Isn't the alpha a 64-bit machine? If so, then it is not currently supported by nhc98 at all. The last time the nhc compiler supported the alpha architecture was probably in 1997, when it still emitted assembly language rather than compiling via C. I'd like to get 64-bit code working again, but have (a) no time, and (b) no test machine. Wolfram Kahl did some preliminary investigation on porting to the alpha about nine months ago, but I think he got stuck. Regards, Malcolm

Hi Malcolm. "make install" under Cygwin and W2000 on the nhc98 v 1.16 tarball gives: ..... ./UnboxedArray.z.a ./Warning.z.a Adjusting... hmakerc I/O error: action : openFile ReadMode on file: /c/DOCUME~1/mike/LOCALS~1/Temp\hmakeconfig.tmp gave : ENOENT (No such file or directory) ..... The file exists - I suspect that nhc98 is choking on the backslash: .... $ ls /c/DOCUME~1/mike/LOCALS~1/Temp\hmakeconfig.tmp /c/DOCUME~1/mike/LOCALS~1/Temphmakeconfig.tmp ... I haven't time to look further at this tonight I'm sorry - will try later in the week - any suggestions accepted gratefully as to where that DOS path separator is coming from (ie, which script do I need to look at, patch etc) to save debugging time. The compiler built (ie "configure" and "make") without troubles otherwise, and the partially installed system compiles source files perfectly well. However, "hmake" is missing as a result of the above problem. Cheers Mike Thomas.
