This one seems simple enough - not sure why they chose to just up and change it but they did. In tables.h, at the top end of the file you have this set of declarations:


/* game tables */
extern	const	struct	clan_type	clan_table[MAX_CLAN];
extern	const	struct	position_type	position_table[];
extern	const	struct	sex_type	sex_table[];
extern	const	struct	size_type	size_table[];

/* flag tables */
extern	const	struct	flag_type	act_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	plr_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	affect_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	off_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	imm_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	form_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	part_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	comm_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	extra_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	wear_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	weapon_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	container_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	portal_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	room_flags[];
extern	const	struct	flag_type	exit_flags[];

These need to all be moved down to the end of the file, past the last struct that's defined here. Once you've moved them, all is well and your code will once again compile.

I fixed this problem, as told above, only to get more errors.

what should I do now?

These are the errors:

comm.c:184: error: conflicting types for 'read'
/usr/include/unistd.h:327: error: previous declaration of 'read' was here
comm.c:188: error: conflicting types for 'write'
/usr/include/unistd.h:333: error: previous declaration of 'write' was here

Can you show us those lines?

‘ and ’ in your original posts are just Unicode for opening and closing quotes, I have taken the liberty of replacing those to make the errors more readable.

Personally I wouldn't compile as root, too many chances of things going wrong.

Is this Linux or Cygwin?
