Hi all
I want to compile mps 1.1 from mosix.org, but fails with

Operation System is a clean Suse 8.2 with gcc 3.3

I realize that this is a couple of years late to help you, but I had the same problem (on SuSE 8.2, with gcc 3.3). But (for posterity) Here's how (after much soul-searching) I fixed it.

In mps-1.1/proc/compile.c, edit the macros and remove the ## marks before each occurrence of NAME. It worked for me, and we have essentially the same system specs.

Not compile.c, but compare.c (probably typo). It is the same solution i used. Sorry for missing post with problem solution.

I made a slight mistake in my correction: remove the ## directive from all parts of the compare functions except for in the function name (where you actually want it to paste).

original:

#define CMP_STR(NAME) \
int cmp_ ## NAME(proc_t** P, proc_t** Q) { \
- return strcmp((*P)-> ## NAME, (*Q)-> ## NAME); \
+ return strcmp((*P)->NAME, (*Q)->NAME); \
}

revised:

#define CMP_STR(NAME) \
int cmp_ ## NAME(proc_t** P, proc_t** Q) { \
- return strcmp((*P)-> NAME, (*Q)-> NAME); \
+ return strcmp((*P)-> NAME, (*Q)-> NAME); \
}

If you got the code to work, you probably did likewise.
