I am getting some warnings that I didn't get when I compiled the same source on Sys V/AT. I had a suggestion to use the Green Hills compiler instead which pretty much works but I was curious if there is someway to patch-out the warnings ? This is an excerp from my make log: cc -O -DUSG -Dindex=strchr -Drindex=strrchr -DRNEWS=\"/usr/bin/rnews\" -DSPOOLDIR=\"/usr/spool/news\" -DBATCHDIR=\"/usr/spool/batch\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib/news\" -DBINDIR=\"/usr/bin\" -DNEWSUSR=\"news\" -DNEWSGRP=\"news\" -DSCCSID -Dvfork=fork -c control.c "control.c", line 898: warning: illegal pointer combination, op = "control.c", line 899: warning: illegal pointer combination, op = "control.c", line 900: warning: illegal pointer combination, op = cc -O -DUSG -Dindex=strchr -Drindex=strrchr -DRNEWS=\"/usr/bin/rnews\" -DSPOOLDIR=\"/usr/spool/news\" -DBATCHDIR=\"/usr/spool/batch\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib/news\" -DBINDIR=\"/usr/bin\" -DNEWSUSR=\"news\" -DNEWSGRP=\"news\" -DSCCSID -Dvfork=fork -c funcs.c "funcs.c", line 160: warning: illegal pointer combination, op = "funcs.c", line 161: warning: illegal pointer combination, op = There are a few more compile lines which have the same complaints. If anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it. ALso, I will be porting most all the applications Im currently using, (Elm, News, Smail, etc.) to V/386 and would appreciate any pointers on things to look out for when dealing with V/386 in place of Sys V/AT.
