Hi.

First a "thank you" to Henrik for his presentation at the Linux BOF today in Copenhagen. Very interesting.

Coming home I decided to try to make a Hobbit client for a thin client project I'm somewhat involved in (thinstation.sf.net). However, I got into trouble when trying to compile the Hobbit client in the custom Thinstation build environment. Next I decided to try on my vanilla Debian Sarge, and I got the exact same error message (running configure seem ok to me):

bash# make cc -g -O2 -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/usr/local/etc\"" -c -o hobbitc.o hobbitc.c cc -g -O2 -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/usr/local/etc\"" -c -o conf_load.o conf_load.c bison -y -pecho conf_parse.c|sed 's/^\([^_]\{1,\}_\).*$/\1/' conf_parse.y mv y.tab.c conf_parse.c flex -oconf_token.c conf_token.l cc -g -O2 -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/usr/local/etc\"" -c -o conf_parse.o conf_parse.c cc -g -O2 -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/usr/local/etc\"" -c -o report.o report.c report.c: In function `open_report': report.c:90: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast cc -g -O2 -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/usr/local/etc\"" -c -o osdep.o osdep.c cc -o hobbitc cc: no input files make: *** [hobbitc] Error 1

Mind you, I'm an amateur programmer, so I might have done something obviously stupid and not even realizing it. However, usually I do survive a configure/make/make install sequence :-)

Debian Sarge is running gcc 3.3.5 and Thinstation 3.4.4.

Any hint greatly appreciated.
