#4 Build fails with linking errors "multiple definition of"

OK! I see that debian has patches making it compile, and I fixed the Arch Linux AUR package using those debian patches.

Maybe that could be something to work with, if you intend to update the code.

Regards!

Sure, why not. Link changed.

#4 Build fails with linking errors "multiple definition of"

Looks like I had most recently compiled it back in 2003, using gcc 2.95.1 ... quite a bit older than current versions and the code most likely being nowhere near proper for current standards (and probably bad code even back then). I haven't done any programming in years, I wouldn't even know where to start at this point to fix it.

Can you then just change the link to that archived page?

Regards!

When i try to build this code, version 1.7.3, using make as you write in your README file, it fails while linking:
