gngeo compile failed

malayo · 02-05-2011, 12:07 AM

I'm using Debian Squeeze AMD64

gngeo version 0.7

after i ran ./configure

i got these error messages when I ran make

Code:

make[3]: *** [star_interf.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/malayo/games/gngeo/src'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/malayo/games/gngeo/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/malayo/games/gngeo'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Just before those error messages, what was the output of some sub-processes? Like gcc for example? You should see something like this:

Code:

blah.c:1: error: <something>...

Of course, the exact file, line, and error message may vary.

i ran 'make' again after 'make clean' but this time suppressed the error to a file
$ make 2> compile-error

when i search for error:
$ grep error: compile-error

Code:

star_interf.c:44: error: initializer element is not computable at load time
star_interf.c:44: error: (near initialization for ‘pretend_programfetch[4].offset’)

When the files ( any.c, any.h ) have a time stamp, that says 2006 :

cd gngeo-0.7/ && export CC=gcc-4.1 CXX=g++-4.1 && ./configure

make : No errors on Debian Squeeze, 64bits.

yeah...all .c & .h time stamps are on 2006

i managed to install gcc 4.1 but g++ 4.1 is not available on squeeze

i tried with --ignore-dependends but no luck
# dpkg -i /home/malayo/Downloads/g++-4.1_4.1.2-25_amd64.deb --ignore-depends=libstdc++6-4.1-dev,gcc-4.1,gcc-4.1-base

Sorry, I didn't look for g++-4.1 ( I don't have one installed either.)

Actually, it doesn't matter, if you have g++, when all files are c.
I.e. with no c++ files, gcc will do.

'export CC=gcc-4.1 && ./configure' would be more correct.

If there really had been some c++ code, there is another solution.
Also : Dependencies cannot be ignored for a compiler :
Then it cannot produce binaries.

during configurations there are a few tools that is not available in squeeze
are needed even after I installed automake

Code:

checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing
checking for working automake-1.4... missing

symlinking doesn't seem to work, i'm still having the same 'missing' message during configuration
# ln -s /usr/bin/aclocal /usr/bin/aclocal-1.4

any idea?

http://prdownload.berlios.de/gngeo/gngeo-0.7.tar.gz
http://download.berlios.de/gngeo/gngeo-0.7.tar.gz
This source code package has a 'configure' script included.

./configure
checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake-1.4... missing
checking for working autoheader... found
.
Just ignore, the autotools are used for creating 'configure'.
Ref. post #2 : 'make' will finish with no errors.

I don't know what I had missed but it seems that I'm still getting the same error after 'rm -rf' gngoe folder, extract, ran configure & make allover again

i attach the error output as it is 2k+ lines of error messages

Be aware, that the command 'export CC=gcc-4.1' is temporary and will
reset to 'gcc', when you exit the terminal.

Just type everything in one line :
'export CC=gcc-4.1 && ./configure && make' <ENTER>
