[nhc-bugs] nhc-1.16: no stdint.h

[Albert REINER]

Hi,

I just tried to install nhc-1.16 on a rather old system (Linux, kernel
2.0.35, libc1).

Configure output:

According to `make help`,

`make`, after setting up some directories, fails with the following:

I suppose this has something to do with the ancient C library (though
I do not recall seeing libc2 listed as a prerequisite in the
installation instructions); is there any simple way to build or
install nhc on this system?

Albert.
