Help: make error in xmlwf.c (and index.sgml help wanted)

[Vincent Schut <schut sarvision com>]

I just encountered the same problem.
It is very weird, cause exactly the same version of expat (download your own 
tarball and extract in /usr/local/src or wherever you like) compiles fine 
when compiled outside garnome.
What does garnome do that gcc gives errors on seemingly valid code? At least 
with my limited knowledge, I could not see any errors in the code.
The workaround that I used is this:
compile your own libexpat (use same version as garnome: 1.95.6). In the xmlwf 
directory of this libexpat, you will find several object files (*.o). Copy 
thses in the garnome expat/xmlwf directory 
(/usr/local/src/garnome-0.24.2/bootstrap/expat/work/main.d/expat-1.95.6/xmlwf 
in my case). Then in the garnome meta/gnome-desktop directory, type 'make 
install' again. Garnome now thinks everything in xmlwf has been build 
correctly and continues. I hope this does not have any implications on the 
rest of my garnome build, I'm still building.

BTW anybody has a automated solution for the index.sgml problem? Garnome is 
nice if you can run it while you sleep. If I everytime have to touch 
index.sgml files, I don't get much sleep tonight I'm afraid... Or am I the 
only one with this problem?
I searched the mailing list but the only answer I found was: goto the dir and 
touch index.sgml.... Can't I tell make not to copy this file, or something 
similar?
