The error generated have summary as: 2 errors generated. make[2]: *** [subckt.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2

Is there any fix? Thanks

The actual error messages will be found in "make.log", so please check that file and let me know what the specific error messages are.

Oh, I remember coming across this one before. The Mac compiler apparently sets "-Werror" (treat compiler warnings as fatal errors) as a default.

Probably what you want to do is this for "configure":

   CFLAGS="-Wno-error" ./configure
   

If that doesn't work, then find "CFLAGS =" in the "defs.mak" file and add "-Wno-error" to the list of gcc flags.

[xiayu87]

I tried both ways and unfortunately I am getting the same error

[xiayu87]

Could this be due to not declaring the function before calling it, as per the thread below: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15850042/xcode-warning-implicit-declaration-of-function-is-invalid-in-c99

[RTimothyEdwards]

Well, yes, but there are hundreds if not thousands of such issues in the code, which was written in the 1980s, and rather than try to track them all down and fix them, I depend on the compiler treating them as warnings (or not at all) and continuing on. You might try "CFLAGS = -w" which would completely supress all compiler warnings. I'm not sure why "-Wno-error" doesn't work, though.
