Subj:	A little bug in VMS-DECC.MAK and VMS.MAK from GHOSTSCRIPT_351_SRC.ZIP

I don't know if it's to you of ghost@aladdin.com I should turn, but since I
got GHOSTSCRIPT_351_SRC.ZIP from your archive, here goes:

In VMS-DECC.MAK, it is assumed that if DECC$LIBRARY_INCLUDE doesn't exist,
the include files are not online.  This is not completelly true, as there
may be a directory SYS$COMMON:[DECC$LIB.REFERENCE.DECC$RTLDEF], where copies
of the DEC C include files are stored.  In that case, it is a good thing
to define DECC$LIBRARY_INCLUDE to point there.  The reason is that if you
have VAX C as well, but want to compile with DEC C, there is a conflict
between DEC C's definition of ftime() in TIMEB and VAX C's definition in
SYS$LIBRARY:TIME.H.  The following patch fixes this:

*** PD:[SRC.GS3_51]VMS-DECC.MAK;1	Wed Sep 27 14:48:54 1995
--- vms-decc.mak	Mon Mar 10 19:03:22 1997

+ $ if f$trnlnm("DECC$LIBRARY_INCLUDE").eqs."" -
+      .and.f$search("SYS$COMMON:[DECC$LIB.REFERENCE.DECC$RTLDEF]*.H").nes.""
+ $  then
+ $   DEFINE DECC$LIBRARY_INCLUDE SYS$COMMON:[DECC$LIB.REFERENCE.DECC$RTLDEF]
+ $  endif
  $ if f$trnlnm("DECC$LIBRARY_INCLUDE").nes.""
  $  then
  $   DEFINE DECC$USER_INCLUDE 'F$ENVIRONMENT("DEFAULT"),DECW$INCLUDE,DECC$LIBRARY_INCLUDE,SYS$LIBRARY

Then we have VMS.MAK that contains a really blatant bug:

If I should have turned to ghost@aladdin.com, please just forward this
letter to him.

Enjoy!
