src/hyper has a build failure in hthits.c[.pamphlet]?. There is a reference to "loc2", which is undeclared anywhere else in the source tree.

The compile failure is:

1. making /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/obj/freebsd/hyper/hthits.o from /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c: In function `main': /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c:116: warning: implicit declaration of function `compile' /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c: In function `handleFile': /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c:192: warning: long int format, time_t arg (arg 4) /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c: In function `searchPage': /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c:360: warning: implicit declaration of function `step' /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c:363: error: `loc2' undeclared (first use in this function) /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c:363: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/int/hyper/hthits.c:363: error: for each function it appears in.) gmake[3]?: *** [/home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/obj/freebsd/hyper/hthits.o]? Error 1 gmake[3]?: Leaving directory `/home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/src/hyper' gmake[2]?: *** [hyperdir]? Error 2

If I kludge this by removing the line that (seems to) erroneously refer to "loc2", then I get a link failure when step() and compile() are not found:

linking /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/mnt/freebsd/lib/hthits /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/obj/freebsd/hyper/hthits.o(.text+0x239): In function `searchPage': : undefined reference to `step' /home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/obj/freebsd/hyper/hthits.o(.text+0x832): In function `main': : undefined reference to `compile' gmake[3]?: *** [/home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0/mnt/freebsd/lib/hthits]?

Error 2 gmake[1]?: Leaving directory `/home/ports/math/axiom/work/axiom-0.0' gmake: *** [all]? Error 2 *** Error code 2

It turns out this is rather old Sun regexp code.

I found an old manpage that describes step(), compile, loc1 and loc2, and I'll redo the offending function to use something a bit more modern and POSIX-compliant.

Is this still valid. Not information about the system that the failure occurred.
