[aspectc-user] Problems building SVN version of Puma

Yes, looks like a platform issue.

Ah, good idea, totally forgot it.

I guess you tried to compile with a simple 'make'. But you have to
compile the woven sources with 'make compile', this does not require
ac++ anymore.

Please let us know if this works.

No, only adverse conditions :-)
