VLINK or TLINK compile problems

(None of this is valid for Windows. Use the precompiled tlink.exe or tlink.pl.)

The latest version of vlink.c and tlink.c have been compiled on the following systems:

    AIX 4.1
    BSD2.0 (Pentium/x86)
    Digital Unix (OSF/Alpha)
    FreeBSD 2.x and 3.x
    IRIX 5.3, IRIX 6.1
    Linux
    SCO OpenServer 5.x
    Solaris 2.x (Sun compiler and GCC)
    Solaris 7 (Sun compiler and GCC)
    SunOS 4.1.4

Some problems may occur. In general, you can ignore warnings about pointers.

Make sure that you have run the configure program in the src directory. If you use MiniVend's makecat program it will try to compile an appropriate link at that time, and will substitute tlink.pl if that doesn't work.

You can compile manually with the proper settings with this series of commands:

    cd src
    ./configure
    perl -e 'do "syscfg"; system ("$CC $CFLAGS $DEFS $LIBS -o tlink tlink.c")'
    perl -e 'do "syscfg"; system ("$CC $CFLAGS $DEFS $LIBS -o vlink vlink.c")'

There is also a compile_link program which has docmentation embedded and which will compile an approprate link.

If you cannot compile, try using the tlink.pl script which should work on most any system.
