Those should be fine. However in general I would have passed the LDFLAGS to configure at configure time. LDFLAGS=-static ./configure --disable-nls make In this case it should not matter for you. But this way configure can test other options in the presence of your option and deduce conflicts. This really comes into play when passing into CFLAGS the -g or -O options which are mutually exclusive on many compilers. > The configure command gives no errors, but when I run make I get this error > output: > ------------------------------------------ > ... > Making all in src > make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/linux2/root/originals/fileutils-4.0/src' > gcc -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DSHAREDIR=\"/usr/local/share\" - > DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I. -I../lib -I../intl -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O2 -c > dircolors.c > dircolors.c:40:15: macro "strndup" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given > make[2]: *** [dircolors.o] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/linux2/root/originals/fileutils-4.0/src' > make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/linux2/root/originals/fileutils-4.0' > make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 > ------------------------------------------ > > Fileutils is version 4.0 and I’m running Mandrake 8.0. > > I read the README file and the INSTALL file, but no luck.

That is pretty strange. I could not see how you would be getting that message. I just now test compiled fileutils 4.0 on a Mandrake 8.0 system using your flags and everything worked fine. I could not recreate your problem. I have no suggestions for you except to try it on a different machine. At the C program level you could run the output through 'cc -E' and look at the processed output file. Note that fileutils-4.1 is available. ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/fileutils/fileutils-4.1.tar.gz Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
