[Yhc] Can't compile

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi Isaac,

Your message wasn't sent to the mailing list as well, just me, so I'm
forwarding it. Gmail makes it pretty easy to figure out whats
happening, but I still don't understand why :) If you can find any
docs on mailman that should describe how/why things are working.

I have also sent it to our build engineer who will hopefully solve
your problem :)

Thanks

Neil
