[Disksim-users] Make errors. Old compiler required?

[shay raz]

Dear Alan,
   
  compiling DiskSim is a known issue.
  please see the following good instructions-email:
  https://sos.ece.cmu.edu/pipermail/disksim-users/2006-November/000096.html
  if you are able to compile the code under a different platform, please share
  the how-to knowledge with the rest of the community.
   
  Best,
  Shay

(Answering myself...)

I did more digging in the email archive and found this message:

https://sos.ece.cmu.edu/pipermail/disksim-users/2007-August/000204.html

with an attached patch file. After application the build was
successful, albeit with plenty of warnings. The "runvalid" test was
successful too.

Perhaps this message should be referenced on the home page until the
patch is properly integrated?

Alan
