I have tried several times to build cpp and cppmake. cpp seems to
compile okay, but when I process makefile.cpp, minix is replaced by the
number 1.

cppmake has several problems compiling, it defines things that were
defined already (but were probably missing in 1.3). When I finally get it
to compile, it doesn't do anything. It creates a makefile with a zero
length and does not 'make' anything. If there is an updated version for
1.5.10, I am unable to find it. I have obtained the tar files from both
plains.nodak.edu and sirius.ucs.adelaide.edu.au.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A last note, when building the 32 bit system, bcc complained about
redefinition of NULL. I had to change unistd.h and stdlib.h and some
others from:

#define NULL ((void*) 0)

to

#ifndef NULL
#define NULL ((void *) 0)
#endif

Should this be a patch for future releases?
