Subject: problems building insight+dejagnu-20010323 on mips-sgi-irix6.5

thought I'd try updating from the version of insight I'd had installed, so
downloaded the insight+dejagnu-20010323 tarball

configure line was nothing special - just specified --prefix

using gcc 2.95.2, btw

anyway, it dies here:

gcc -c  -I. -I. -I/usr/net/rnd/src/insight+dejagnu-20010323/tcl/generic -I/usr/net/rnd/src/insight+dejagnu-20010323/tk/generic  -DEXP_VERSION=\"5.26\" -DSCRIPTDIR=\"/usr/net/rnd/insight-20010323/share\" -DEXECSCRIPTDIR=\"/usr/net/rnd/insight-20010323/lib\" -DTCL_DEBUGGER -g -O2   -DDFLT_STTY="\"sane\""  exp_command.c
exp_command.c: In function `Exp_SpawnCmd':
exp_command.c:686: `NSIG' undeclared (first use in this function)
exp_command.c:686: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
exp_command.c:686: for each function it appears in.)
exp_command.c:956: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast
exp_command.c:970: warning: passing arg 1 of `dup' makes integer from pointer without a cast
gmake[1]: *** [exp_command.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp_mnt/usr/net/rnd/src/insight+dejagnu-20010323/expect'

poking around a little, I guess I'd expect NSIG to be defined maybe in
/usr/include/signal.h, but I'm not sure

anyway, anybody know what's happening?

thx,

thanks for forwarding my msg to the apparently correct list - that prompted
me to search the gdb archives, which turned up this:

  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-gdb/2000-09/msg00065.html

which allowed compilation to complete successfully

however, I must admit I'm a bit confused as to why this falls under gdb
rather than insight - since it's an expect issue, I would have expected it
to be more closely-related to insight than gdb

anyway... thanks...
