Re: GNU APL now requires bash shell and in-tree builds

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

    Hi Alexander,
      
      thanks, fixed in SVN 1470.
      
      The bind() error is somewhat strange because:
      
      - in the same file (main.cc), accept() (a companion of bind())
      works without :: and
      - in other files bind() also works without ::
      
      I suppose some other #include file declares bind() differently
      (which
      would be an error in the platform).
      
      Best Regards,
      Jürgen
