Can't compile VBA-Link properly?


First of all, I'm a complete Linux newbie, so I'm not even sure what forum to place this in. If it could go in a better forum, could a mod please move it?

Anyway, I'm experiencing some problems when trying to install VBA Link. I've downloaded the source code from the site and untar-ed it. Then after downloading some other software, I think that I've successfully done the "./configure" bit.

However when I get to the "make" stage, it comes up with a few errors. As I'm not sure what the problem exactly is, I'll just post the whole lot:
Code:

Can anyone work out what's gone wrong or has anyone had this problem before? I hope I managed to explain myself clearly and if you need any extra details, I can provide them.

Thanks in advance.

it looks like a very old code, and the new compiler does not allow those constructs, so you need to modify makefile, try to add the suggested options to CC (that is -fpermissive, -Wwrite-strings).

I hope it helps
