gnustep-make-1.7.1

[Stewart Stremler]

Greetings!

I don't know the best approach for submitting feedback, so I'm guessing.
I got this email address from the FAQ, so I hope it's headed to the
right place...

I recently downloaded gnustep-make-1.7.1, and compiled it on my solaris
machine.   Here are the relevant details:

% uname -a
SunOS straumli 5.8 Generic_108528-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100
% gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3
Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
%

When I compile the package, I get a number of warnings:

% make
gcc -O2 -Wall -I. -o which_lib which_lib.c
gcc -O2 -DGNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=/usr/local/GNUstep/System \
      -Wall -I. -o user_home user_home.c
user_home.c: In function `main':
user_home.c:278: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:280: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:282: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:284: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:289: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:291: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:354: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:356: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:358: warning: subscript has type `char'
user_home.c:360: warning: subscript has type `char'
%

All of these are taken care of by inserting a cast-to-int in the
isspace() functions calls at the appropriate lines. 

Should I use diff and submit a patch-type file? Should I check out a
copy of the project with CVS and use that in some way?
