[Nano-devel] Problems compiling CVS

[Carl Drinkwater]

Hi there,

I am having problems compiling Nano on Darwin.  I downloaded the CVS 
tree this afternoon, and checked and upgraded where necessary the auto* 
packages, gettext, texinfo etc

I used ...

./configure --enable-nanorc --enable-undo --disable-wrapping 
--enable-extra

... before make'ing.

It does fine, no warning, no errors or anything, then it all falls 
down ...

gcc -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -I. -I. -I. -Iintl 
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -I/usr/local/include  
-I/sw/include  -g -O2 -c `test -f global.c || echo './'`global.c
global.c:401: illegal function call, found `0'
global.c:407: only 1 arg to macro 'IFHELP' (2 expected)
global.c:407: illegal function call, found `0'
global.c:409: illegal expression, found `else'
global.c:412: only 1 arg to macro 'IFHELP' (2 expected)
global.c:416: only 1 arg to macro 'IFHELP' (2 expected)
global.c:417: illegal function call, found `0'

Looking at the code, there is something i don't really get ...

/* The following macro is to be used in calling sc_init_one.  The point 
is
 * that sc_init_one takes 9 arguments, unless DISABLE_HELP is defined,
 * when the fourth one should not be there. */
#ifdef DISABLE_HELP
#  define IFHELP(help, nextvar) nextvar
#else
#  define IFHELP(help, nextvar) help, nextvar
#endif

    sc_init_one(&main_list, NANO_HELP_KEY, _("Get Help"),
      IFHELP(nano_help_msg,) 0, NANO_HELP_FKEY, 0, VIEW,
      do_help);

(The IFHELP(nano_help_msg,) 0 bit specifically, it'll expand to 
'nano_help_msg 0'?)

... but obviously it works for you guys, so I was wondering if you could 
give any pointers.  If you don't really have any ideas, I'll sit down 
and work it out - I'm new to Nano (This is the first CVS I downloaded, 
and it might be something you know about ...)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Carl.
