Linux (system 1.2.13) with gcc compiler
gcc -o abc2ps abc2ps.c
(also coutesy of Jonathan Yuen).

SunOS 4.1.3
Greg Taylor compiled abc2ps with this Makefile:

INCLUDEDIR = /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/include
LIBFLAG = -lm
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -ansi -I $(INCLUDEDIR) -g
LDFLAGS = -g
RM = rm -f

abc2ps  : abc2ps.o
        $(RM) $@
        $(CC) abc2ps.o $(LIBFLAG) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS)

Sun Solaris 2.5 / gcc compiler
Standard compilation works fine.

Windows NT
Compiles under MS Visual C++ compiler (version 4.0), which generates several warnings, but still works.

Digital Alpha running VMS

(compiler=DECC V5.2, operating system=OpenVMS AXP V6.2)

1. the functions 'atoi','atof' and 'exit' need to be declared somewhere near
the top of the code abc2ps.c
- add lines something like this:
        void exit(int status)
        int atoi(const char *nptr)
        double atof(const char *nptr)

2. change the 'main' function definition from 'void' to 'int'.
        int main(argc, argv)
                int argc;
                char *argv[];
        {
         char outf....etc etc as before

3. VMS isn't case sensitive, and there are three functions called
def_hd,def_Hd and def_HD which confuse things. All references to these
were changed to def_hd_1,def_hd_2 and def_hd_3 respectively.
(in the file 'syms.h')

4. the function 'stat' causes problems at link time unless the code is
compiled using the option /standard=common.
i.e. cc/standard=common abc2ps

5. In order to get the command line flags to work, I define in my login.com
file the following:
        define ABC_DIR dus4:[robin.junk.music.abc] (or similar)
        abc :== $abc_dir:abc
and so to execute the code I do for example
        abc sample.abc -o
which generates an 'out.ps' file.

Version 1.2 is reported to work fine, as long as the following flag is used:
	cc/standard=common abc2ps
