To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have been trying to make world from current sources cvsup-ed yesterday (Wed 9/17), but I haven't gotten very far. Here's a typical message right before stopping: /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/ld/../../../contrib/gcc/cplus-dem.c: In function 'do type' parse error before character 0177 When I check the line numbers associated with these I see thing like "string^?append" rather than "string_append". I don't know anything about C. Is this right? If not, how do you think those things get there and how can I change "^?" to "_" globally. The "^?" appears to be a real control character, that is it is a single character not "^" and "?". Thanks. Greg
