compiling clicq, problems with c++

Hi,

I was trying to compile clicq, an icq client for linux, for cygwin.
However I'm a little new to C++ although not to programming in
general. Here is what I got problems with:

1. during make, gcc reported that the definition for AF_INET was
missing. since I knew it was located in socket.h I located it and
simply added an #include line.
How can it be that such a thing is missing in sources you download
from the web?
There were multiple socket.h files. I chose one which was located in a
*/cygwin/* path. Why different header files?

This problem seems to be solved.


2. make (or rather gcc) reports a number of problems like:

In file included from clicq.c:23:
cfg.h:14:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive

Although I'm sure there are no more characters after the #endif
directive. Whats going on here?

Since its only a warning I ignored those.


3. however, make still doesn't run through:

clicq.c: In function `main':
clicq.c:267: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
clicq.c:268: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
make[2]: *** [clicq.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/clicq-0.1/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/clicq-0.1'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

First point: why is line 267 not causing make to abord, but line 268
if both are "warning"s of the same type?

Here's the contents of those lines:

267:
  rl_completion_entry_function = (Function*)&dummy_completer;
  rl_attempted_completion_function = &my_completer;

where dummy_completer:
char *dummy_completer(char *text, int state) {
  return (char*)NULL;
}

and my_completer:
char **my_completer(char *text, int start, int end) {
  return complete_commandarg(rl_line_buffer, text, start, end);
}

I couldn't find the declaration of rl_completion_entry_function and
rl_attempted_completion_function. Are there any Tricks to find these?


I'd be thankfull for any help!

Ciao
Uwe
