Hi.
I am trying to build a software package I downloaded from the
Internet. It uses imake (xmkmf). The Imakefile file contains lines
like:
cp -vpb icons\/* $(XFCE_ICONS)
which causes imake to die with the message:
cpp: Error: ./Imakefile: 79: Unterminated comment
My assumption is that imake treats /* as a comment, and doesn't
understand that \/* is meant to "quote" the /*. I also assume that
this doesn't happen on the machine used by the author of this package
(Linux). So, I'm thinking that maybe my version of imake is not
up-to-date. I spent a few hours trying to find an up-to-date version
of imake, with no success, so I'm asking for help. Of course, one or
more of my assumptions may be incorrect - in which case, I'd be happy
to hear other explanations. If fact, since the error message starts
with cpp:, maybe the problem is with cpp ....
TIA.
