octave 1.1 on NeXT 3.2 (Intel)

[Lars A. Stole]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to compile octave 1.1 on a NextStep 3.2 operating system  
(running on a Pentium cpu). 


I have performed the standard fixes for Nextstep which worked with octave  
1.0. Specifically, I compiled ./liboctave/dMatrix.cc and  
./liboctave/Array-d.cc without the "-g" flag. I have also extracted the  
termios.o file from the libposix.a library and placed it in the ./src/  
subdirectory.  Nonetheless, some problems seem to remain.

The main problem is that I am having trouble compiling  
./readline/complete.c.  I am using gcc 2.6.3, libg++ 2.6.2, and f2c if that  
is relevant. The error messages from my screen are ... [this is rather  
long, unfortunately]

......



There are other errors which occur further down in the makefile, but since  
they may all arise from the complete.c problem, I want to solve this first.   
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
