Installation compiling error in builtin.c, builtin.epro

Installation compiling error in builtin.c, builtin.epro

[Kanny]

Hi

I am trying to install Zsh 4.3.10 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 PPC and getting  
the following error when running "make":

========
gcc -c -I.  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -O2  -o

The zsh configuration is automatically set to:

It appears there is some syntax error in builtin.epro leading to  
unrecognized bin_*** functions.  The same error occurs when trying to  
compile zsh 4.3.9. Currently I have zsh 4.3.4 running well on my Mac  
with of course those completion bugs.

Any help on how to fix this error would be appreciated.
Thanks

The problem is occuring when using the macro:

#ifdef PROTOTYPES
# define _(Args) Args
#else
# define _(Args) ()
#endif

(defined in system.h) which should convert things like

extern int bin_umask _((char*nam,char**args,Options ops,UNUSED(int func)));

into

extern int bin_umask (char*nam,char**args,Options ops,UNUSED(int func));

However, the error doesn't give much clue as to why it's going wrong
here.  Are there obvious errors within builtin.epro (that might be
caused by awk or sed going haywire)?  You can mail it as an attachment
if it's not obvious.  If it is wrong builtin.syms might be the
interesting one.  Also check what "AWK = " is set to in the generated
Makemod in the same (Src) directory.

Peter, thanks for the reply.
The file builtin.epro looks fine:

===========
/* Generated automatically */
#ifndef have_Src_builtin_globals
#define have_Src_builtin_globals

extern mod_import_variable HashTable builtintab;
extern void createbuiltintable _((void));
extern int execbuiltin _((LinkList args,Builtin bn));
extern int bin_enable _((char*name,char**argv,Options ops,int func));
extern int bin_set _((char*nam,char**args,UNUSED(Options  
ops),UNUSED(int func)));
extern int doprintdir;
extern int bin_pwd _((UNUSED(char*name@>,UNUSED(char**argv),Options  
ops,UNUSED(int func)));
extern mod_import_variable LinkList dirstack;
extern int bin_dirs _((UNUSED(char*name),char**argv,Options  
ops,UNUSED(int func)));
extern void set_pwd_env _((void));
.
.
extern int bin_umask _((char*nam,char**args,Options ops,UNUSED(int  
func)));
extern mod_import_function int bin_notavail  
_((char*nam,UNUSED(char**argv),UNUSED(Options ops),UNUSED(int func))
);

#endif /* !have_Src_builtin_globals */
==========

I tried to google 'unterminated argument list invoking macro "_" ' and  
many forums suggest it due to compiler outdated. So I checked gcc -- 
version and it was 4.0.1. I also happened to have 4.2.1 so I reset the  
symlinks and made it active. Then performed "make distclean";  
configure; make, and got similar but not the same error:

=========

All this while I had already initiated svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/ 
gcc/tags/gcc_4_5_1_release gcc-4.5.1 to get the latest gcc. It just  
finished, but man that's a whole 1.1GB for gcc??? I am seriously  
deterred to compile that beast to get zsh updated while everything  
else seems to be fine! If this error is fixable by any other means I  
would like to try that first.

Thanks

Re: Installation compiling error in builtin.c, builtin.epro

[Kanny]

The problem was probably not with gcc version. I installed mac port  
and then gave the command "sudo port install zsh-devel" to  install  
zsh 3.4.10 without any problem. It installed a few dependencies first  
that I guess were missing.
