Warning: .type pseudo-op used outside of .def/.endef ignored (fwd)

[Matthew Sundling]

I thank you now for any help you can give!

This is an mainly an assmbler related problem (I think).

I am trying to install/compile LEDA-4.2 (for unix) under cygwin
using g++-2.95.2-6 on a win98 platform.  I had some difficulty
lconfig'ing intially because certain directories did not exist
and files were in inappropriate locations.


When I run 'make', in $LEDAROOT, this is what I get:

-------------------------------


As you can see, basic, basic_alg, and numbers compiled and
completed fine.  But an assembler error is occuring when trying
assemble _i386_add_sub.s.  Do you have any ideas?  I have looked
everywhere on the web, and through LEDA online documents, as well
as the assembler (gnu) documentation.  Even the mailing lists
don't indicate how to fix this.

To try and solve the problem, I installed the most recent
version of gcc and the assembler, and the problem persists.


Any ideas?


Thanks!
