Thank you Samuel for the useful pointers.
I made some simple changes to the time.c file and the build went on, only to
fail at some later stage. The error that I'm getting is:
frontends/gtk/fetch.c: In function 'nsgtk_get_resource_url':
frontends/gtk/fetch.c:252:11: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this
function)
252 | char buf[PATH_MAX];
Now, the only C I know is what I can guess from other programming languages I'm
familiar with, but this seems simple and not very hurd specific. However the
build does not seem to have any problems on other platforms, so I don't know.
Anyone has an idea on how to best approach this?
Regards,
João
