>Description:
	
	I've been trying to build doc++ from pkgsrc on -current (20020410), but
it fails with the following error:  
 
===> Building for doc++-3.3.13
Making all in src
make: "/usr/pkgsrc/devel/doc++/work/doc++-3.3.13/src/Makefile" line 313:

*** Error code 1

But on 1.5.2, identical package, it compiles without a problem.


>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/doc++
	make
>Fix:
	Johnny lam (jlam) suggested to (a) add "USE_GMAKE= yes" to prevent
	the first few make-warnings and that (b) the problem may be the
	stricter C++ compiler that comes with gcc-2.95.3 that is shipped
	with -current.  Therefore, the code would need to be cleaned up
	to be more ISO C++ compliant.
