Hi,

I am trying to compile ghostscript-5.01 with support for an Epson 9pin dot
matrix printer, without much success any help would greatly appreciated.

problem
'make' comes to halt at the following point:

LD_RUN_PATH=; export LD_RUN_PATH;  XCFLAGS= XINCLUDE= XLDFLAGS= XLIBDIRS=
XLIBS=  FEATURE_DEVS= DEVICE_DEVS= DEVICE_DEVS1= DEVICE_DEVS2=
DEVICE_DEVS3=  DEVICE_DEVS4= DEVICE_DEVS5= DEVICE_DEVS6= DEVICE_DEVS7=
DEVICE_DEVS8=  DEVICE_DEVS9= DEVICE_DEVS10= DEVICE_DEVS11= DEVICE_DEVS12=
DEVICE_DEVS13= DEVICE_DEVS14= DEVICE_DEVS15=  /bin/sh <ldt.tr
ld: -lXt: no match
*** Error code 1

Stop.

What I have done so far:
I altered the following variables in gcc-head.mak to read
XCFLAGS=-DBSD4_2
XLIBDIRS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib/X11
XLIBS=Xt SM ICE Xext X11
DEVICE_DEVS2=epson.dev eps9mid.dev eps9high.dev

ran ./tar_cat after making the changes and created the symlink 
makefile -> gcc-head.mak

I also get various warnings repeated during the make process eg:
/usr/include/string.h:53: warning: conflicting types for built-in function
`memcmp'
/usr/include/string.h:54: warning: conflicting types for built-in function
`memcpy'
/usr/include/string.h:59: warning: conflicting types for built-in function
`strcmp'
/usr/include/string.h:61: warning: conflicting types for built-in function
`strcpy'
