Error compiling Ghostscript

Hi,

Im a Unix SA and have the following issue when trying to compile Ghostscript (8.62) on a DEC Alpha V4.0F.

I receive the following message when running make:-

cc: Warning: ./src/mkromfs.c, line 281: In this statement, the referenced type of the pointer value "node->name" is "char", which is not compatible with the "unsigned char". (ptrmismatch)
put_bytes_padded(out, node->name, namelen);
-----------------------------------------------------------
ld:
Unresolved:
ftello:
fseeko
*** Exit 1
Stop.

Lines 279-281 in mkromfs.c read as follows:-

/* write file name (path) padded to 4 byte multiple */
fprintf(out, "\t/* file name '%s' */\n/t", name->name);
put_bytes_padded(out, node->name, namelen);

Unfortunately my C knowledge stretches to 'hello world' to test compilers so any input would be greatly appreciated. If any further information is required please let me know.

Unfortunately due to the server being behind a firewall I have had to manually type in the messages so would be unable to send the full file or listings...



Thanks in advance...

Perhaps this
Which inevitably leads to this

Whilst there are many excellent programmers on this board, what we can't do without lots of effort is help people who wander in and say (as you have done), "I've got the foo package, and it doesn't compile".

The best place to answer those sorts of questions is on the website dedicated to the maintenance and development of the foo package. That is where you'll
- find the most people with the most experience of using the foo package
- find people who may have actually tried to do what you're trying to do (and may even have succeeded)
- find people who may also be interested in the answer
- find people who'll be interested in fixing the package so it does work on your system.
- find people who are interested in updating the documentation / FAQs to include your system.
- even if they don't know, they're the ones most likely to know where to look or who to ask.

Ive tried FAQ's and the 'foo' package development to no avail so thanks for the reply and the condescending attitude, I shall wander off back to the Unix boards and not darken your high level doors again...
