VLINK or TLINK compile problems

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

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

    BSD2.0 (Pentium/x86)
    FreeBSD 2.1
    SunOS 4.1.4
    Solaris 2.4 (Sun compiler)
    Solaris 2.5 (GCC, but not all versions)
    Linux 1.2.13
    Linux 2.0.x
    IRIX 5.3
    Digital Unix (OSF/Alpha)
    AIX 4.1
    SCO OpenServer 5.x

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 used MiniVend's configuration, and selected the default of compiling those programs, the configuration was run, and all of the proper libraries should be used.

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.pl'' script which will compile with the current settings.

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