What version of Inform 6 is required to build the test files?

[glongman]

First, thanks for sharing this cool stuff on GitHub.

I have Inform 6.30 but rake dies part way through trying to build the z3 files:

cd test/dorothy/programs/v3 && inform -v3 array.inf
Inform 6.30 (27th Feb 2004)
cd test/dorothy/programs/v3 && inform -v3 call.inf
Inform 6.30 (27th Feb 2004)
cd test/dorothy/programs/v3 && inform -v3 hello_world.inf
Inform 6.30 (27th Feb 2004)
cd test/dorothy/programs/v3 && inform -v3 jump.inf
Inform 6.30 (27th Feb 2004)
cd test/dorothy/programs/v3 && inform -v3 math.inf
Inform 6.30 (27th Feb 2004)
cd test/dorothy/programs/v3 && inform -v3 nop.inf
Inform 6.30 (27th Feb 2004)
cd test/dorothy/programs/v3 && inform -v3 object_attr.inf
Inform 6.30 (27th Feb 2004)
cd test/dorothy/programs/v3 && inform -v3 object_prop.inf
Inform 6.30 (27th Feb 2004)

Now that I think of it maybe this has to do with some changes I had to make to get 'rake compile' to work. I have to admit that I have not done an C programming in about 13 years so I'm at a great disadvantage.

I was getting 'ld: duplicate symbol' errors so I added 'extern' declarations to machine.h

basically I compiled, saw error, added extern decl to symbol complained about and repeated as required until the compile ran clean.

see http://gist.github.com/144182

I am running OSX 10.5.7 the version of cc is:

i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)

any guidance?

thanks - Geoff

reading my last comment again. sheesh. the test files are being processed by the inform compiler - not dorothy. so, my changes to the header file are irrelavent. still, would be nice to get everything built. G.

I realize I'm pretty late to the party, but I fixed this (among other things) in this pull request: #2
