Help me compile something :S

itz2000 · 02-25-2008, 02:59 PM

I've downloaded a GPL project source and I can't compile it...
here's the project link :
http://home.hiwaay.net/~taylorc/gps/...1.03.00.tar.gz

when I'm trying to compile with

Code:

gcc main.c -o main

This is what i get...

Code:

uki @ LookBusy nmead-01.03.00] $ gcc -trigraphs main.c
/tmp/ccdohiKh.o: In function `main':
main.c:(.text+0x5ca): undefined reference to `gzopen'
main.c:(.text+0x69e): undefined reference to `newconnectionmgr'
main.c:(.text+0x6c3): undefined reference to `simtalk'
main.c:(.text+0x6cd): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
main.c:(.text+0x6de): undefined reference to `talk'
main.c:(.text+0x6e8): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
main.c:(.text+0x6fa): undefined reference to `multilisten'
main.c:(.text+0x712): undefined reference to `pthread_join'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Maybe I'm doing something wrong... but it seems that i.e gzopen should be on zlib.h, which is included in main.c and does exist on my path at /usr/include/zlib.h

so I'm really not sure what is wrong and I would like your help.

Thanks!

Looks like you need to link the pthreads and zlib libraries then.

hmm... how do I do it? :SS

sorry, I don't compile alot of open projects :S

For zlib, you need to add "-lz" and for pthreads "-lpthread". You'll also need to link the libraries that provide "newconnectionmgr", "talk", "simtalk" and "multilisten".

Daft qn: does it not come with a make file (and/or configure)? Seems a bit odd.

There should be a file named 'Makefile', this implies that it would be very helpful for you to learn how to use a lovely program named 'make' (try 'info make'), then...you should just type 'make' and press the enter key...

Did check google+manual though, I guess I've missed something..

Well changing line 53 from

Code:

 ifndef $(RM)

to

Code:

 ifndef RM

should work. It's possible that on the author's system the RM variable is set to something that makes the original statement work.
