Re: [Bug-tar] Errors compiling GNUtar 1.28

[Ted Carr]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!!  I was able to get tar to 
compile successfully, however there were still some error messages during 
compilation:

  CC       basename-lgpl.o
  CC       stripslash.o
  CC       exclude.o
"exclude.c", line 673: warning: assignment type mismatch:
        pointer to function(pointer to struct exclude {pointer to struct 
exclude_segment {..} head, pointer to struct pattern_buffer {..} patbuf}, 
pointer to const char, int) returning void "=" pointer to void
"exclude.c", line 691: warning: argument #6 is incompatible with prototype:
        prototype: pointer to void : "exclude.c", line 617
        argument : pointer to function(pointer to struct exclude {pointer to 
struct exclude_segment {..} head, pointer to struct pattern_buffer {..} 
patbuf}, pointer to const char, int) returning void
  CC       exitfail.o
  CC       chmodat.o
  CC       chownat.o

Also, as Dago pointed out there are some failures when running the tests:  
ERROR: 167 tests were run, 7 failed (2 expected failures), 21 tests were 
skipped.  
The following tests are the ones that failed for me:  25, 65, 87, 161, 163.  I 
have attached the testsuite.log.

Again, thanks for the help!
