The problem *is* that you're cc. The function CatString3() is defined
using ANSI syntax. I just took a quick look at the rest of lib/ and
lots, if not all, the files use ANSI.
If you have gcc installed, you can use it simply by giving the command
(after making the Makefiles as usual):
make CC=gcc
Judging by the compiler line included in your error report, this should
work.
If you haven't gcc or some other ANSI compiler you have a big problem :(
