Eliot > J. Eliot B. Moss, Assistant Professor I got the SPARC version of the Modula-3 compiler off of gatekeeper.dec.com, but have had a little bit of trouble compiling it. Specific problems: (1) The sed commands in imake do not work. They need to be modified to redirect the input file to stdin rather than just appending the name of the file to the command line. Easy to fix. (2) In runtime/SPARC/stack.c, the symbol JB_SP is used but is not defined anywhere. Nor is it defined anywhere in any of the files in /usr/include/*. I can't figure out how to get past this one. (3) In the link step, I get several error messages about not being able to find alloc.o. I have not yet bothered to fix this yet (which should be easy) because of problem #2. Has anyone out there had better luck? -- John D.
