Greetings: I have FreeBSD 4.3-RC running on three machines. I have been using the Makefile listed on www.freebsddiary.org with consistent success up until now. Compiling on the fast machine and installing on the slow machines has worked very well. I tried to re-build the kernel for one of them and make depend failed giving me compile errors complaining about unterminated strings, and missing white spaces in pre-processor #define statements. I looked at the source code and there was a recurring problem caused by /* nested /* comments */ */. I updated the source tree with CVSup with no errors and tried a build world, and got the same sort of thing again: atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_timer.c /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_log.c:48: `#include' expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME> /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:857: unterminated string or character constant /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:772: possible real start of unterminated constant /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:535: unterminated `#if' conditional mkdep: compile failed I looked at the source again, and lines of code that should be comments are beginning with * instead of /* that sort of thing. The code I looked at had a three-year-old copyright. I could go and fix all of these errors by hand as they occur, and try again, but I suspect that there is some sort of error in some sort of script that compresses and uncompresses source code. Any idea what I should try next. I will be grateful for any sugguestions.
