I am trying to compile Scotty on my machine (SunOS 4.1.3), but it is not
successful so far.

I am getting compilation errors as below when I compile to create tnm.so
The configuration shell script runned fine.

$ make
cc -c -O -PIC -I. -I./../tnm/generic -I/usr/local/include
./../tnm/generic/tnmIcmp.c
"./../tnm/generic/tnmIcmp.c", line 118: no automatic aggregate initialization
"./../tnm/generic/tnmIcmp.c", line 118: no automatic aggregate initialization
"./../tnm/generic/tnmIcmp.c", line 118: operands of = have incompatible types
.
.
.
Make this change:
===================================================
118c118,119
< TnmIcmpTarget target = icmpPtr->targets[i];

---
> 	TnmIcmpTarget target;
> 	target = icmpPtr->targets[i];
===================================================


Juergen, let's include this in the Porting Notes
<URL:http://wwwsnmp.cs.utwente.nl/~schoenw/scotty/
porting.notes>.  The one question I have is whether
you might want to change the source itself.  I know
it's a nuisance for the SunOS compiler not to under-
stand this initialization, but the fact is that
many people working in network management *do* rely
on this compiler.
