I checked the version of cpp and it returns gcc 3.3.4 which is the package version I have installed.
I started reading the generated log file and determined that it seems to be failing with the following:
Code:
configure:2725: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:2: error: parse error before "me"
configure:2728: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| #ifndef __cplusplus
| choke me
| #endif
The code in question that generates this error is as follows:
Code:
# Some people use a C++ compiler to compile C. Since we use `exit',
# in C++ we need to declare it. In case someone uses the same compiler
# for both compiling C and C++ we need to have the C++ compiler decide
# the declaration of exit, since it's the most demanding environment.
cat >conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
#ifndef __cplusplus
choke me
#endif
_ACEOF
rm -f conftest.$ac_objext
if { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_compile\"") >&5
(eval $ac_compile) 2>&5
ac_status=$?
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
(exit $ac_status); } &&
{ ac_try='test -s conftest.$ac_objext'
{ (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_try\"") >&5
(eval $ac_try) 2>&5
ac_status=$?
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
(exit $ac_status); }; }; then
for ac_declaration in \
''\
'#include <stdlib.h>' \
'extern "C" void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit;' \
'extern "C" void std::exit (int); using std::exit;' \
'extern "C" void exit (int) throw ();' \
'extern "C" void exit (int);' \
'void exit (int);'
do
cat >conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
#line $LINENO "configure"
/* confdefs.h. */
_ACEOF
cat confdefs.h >>conftest.$ac_ext
cat >>conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
/* end confdefs.h. */
#include <stdlib.h>
$ac_declaration
int
main ()
{
exit (42);
;
return 0;
}
_ACEOF
rm -f conftest.$ac_objext
It doesn't seem to be getting past the macro ifndef __cplusplus but I don't know where it's set/declared
small problem after slackware upgrade
