Re: Mkoctfile help

[Henry F. Mollet]

This was recently discussed and I thought it was straight-forward as the
following worked on Mac running Tiger (OSX10.4). Alas what worked fine only
recently would not work today. I had deleted the files orgenoator.o and
oregonator.oct which had been created when I last practiced using mkoctfile
oregonator.cc and now I get a FATAL.
