I haven't run Linux in a long time, but it looks like you are using an older version of the include libraries.

"zstr" is now a built-in HLA keyword so the macro has been depricated and should be renamed "mzstr."
That should fix the problem you're encountering.

However, the latest version of kmake _probably_ needs the latest version of hidelib, so if you encounter errors while running it, you'll probably need to build the latest hidelib.a for linux.  That won't be fun since I don't have a script for building it written.

I'm due for a big update on everything but waiting for the latest stable HLA and hlalib to be formalized before doing anything since Randall seems to be overhauling the internals.
