No, but see below.

I checked it out using John Tytgat's port of CVS v0.19 and Tony's Task Obey
file '!OSLib_checkout' from his posting Subject: OSLib under SourceForge, 23
May 2002 (<d24f0a3b4b.Tony at mk-net.demon.co.uk>) - slightly modified to point
to my directory.

This was the C$Path immediately following the error:
C$Path : IDEFS::ide 4.$.DDE.AcornC/C++.!SetPaths.^.Libraries.clib.,
         IDEFS::ide 4.$.DDE.AcornC/C++.!SetPaths.^.Libraries.tboxlibs.,
         IDEFS::ide 4.$.DDE.AcornC/C++.!SetPaths.^.Libraries.c++lib.,
         IDEFS::ide 4.$.DDE.AcornC/C++.!SetPaths.^.Libraries.libgcc.

(in clib there is ansilib, OverMgr, and stubs).

It appears to be finding clib.o.stubs alright, although there doesn't appear
to be a reference to __SIG_IGN in o.stubs! So where should the reference to
__SIG_IGN be?


Later.... Been thinking!!!

Did a search into the far corners of my hard discs and came up with 5
different versions of stubs and one of gststubs! Replaced the one in clib
with another which had a reference __SIG_IGN, started to compile again and it
did not show the error!

The various versions of stubs I've found are.....
   29 Nov 1994   15456 bytes (source 26-bitC/C++ library,
                               also a copy dated 12 Jul 2002!)
   18 May 1997    7580 bytes (source CLib v?)
   21 Jun 1997    7668 bytes (source CLib v1.04)
   07 Sep 1999   18684 bytes (source AcornC/C++ Libraries and CLib v1.06
                               this is the one giving the error)
   20 Mar 2001   13212 bytes (source 32-bitC/C++ library)

Why so many different versions? And which is the right/best one to use?
(The one I'm using now - 29 Nov 1994, the oldest - because it works?)

Any observations or comments anyone?  Where did they all come from?

Sorry to have caused any trouble. I'll go away and try to compile OsLib again
and let you know if it fails!

Many thanks for all your help.
Regards,
Rod
