Re: Frustrated Building CVS on Tru64 UNIX ver 5.1a

[Terry Spafford]

Doh! Yeah that did it. Knocking out that stupid comment line fixed the 
problem.

If I had my brain about me when I checked the appropriate makefile 
earlier I would have realized it to.

It isn't a case that my shell didn't recognize "# FIXME" as a comment; 
it was a case that it didn't recognize: "<spaces or tabs># FIXME" as a 
comment. It's a bit wierd that the older UNIX system didn't hiccup on it 
but oh well. :)

With the guilty comment lines removed from that Makefile, I got CVS 
installed and it appears to be working. Thanks for the heads up.
