[sword-devel] Problems with compilation from sword cvs sources

[Louis A. Reed]

Dear Members of the sword-devel list and Sword Bugs,

I am attempting to compile sword-1.5.pre4 from the cvs sources, and I am
getting the following error messages, which stops the compilation cold.  I
would appreciate any help that you could offer me to let me know what the
problem might be.  Here is the terminal output for make at the point of the
error message:

My setup is a  Macintosh Performa 6116CD PowerPC with the original Motorola
601  chip,72MB of RAM,dual SCSI CDROM Drives and a Seagate 18GB hard drive.
My kernel is version 2.4.19rc3 compiled fro NuBus PPC machines by E.
Kato from ftp.ppclinux.jp.or, compiled with gcc-2.95.4.  I am running
Yellow Dog Linux version 2.3 for PPC, which so far has been the best PPC
Linux distribution for compiling that I have found for my old, slow
NuBus-based Mac. 

I am using gcc-2.95.4, autoconf 2.13-14, automake-1.4p5-2, qt-3.0.3
with all the development libraries, and kde-3.0.1-1a, including kdelibs
and kdelibs-devel, all from Yellow Dog Linux.

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks to all in advance.

Your brother in Christ,
