cppmake will be rejuvenated real soon now. There are incompatibilities with the
Posixfied header files. In the interim the following may be of interest.

cppmake was written many moons ago when all we had was Minix 1.3. The makefiles
reflect this. I think that it's probably about time that I extract it and
bring the source up to date. Sigh.

Broken ack compilers require #include <stdio.h> _last_ ! Rearrange the order of
#includes.

Old sys/types.h was broken (left out pid_t). The new one has it. Now cppmake is
broken. Comment out the offending line in cppmake.

>   "cppmake.c", line 162: redeclaration of signal with different type

Old signals were int signal(). Now Posixfied it is void signal().

>   "cppmake.c", line 849: (warning) incompatible pointers in !=

Probably int signal() and void signal() associated problems.

The signal problems can be alleviated by not using -DINTSIGNAL.
