Question Special things needed to compile a program?


I downloaded some programs as sourcecode archives cause there was no rpm available for SuSE 9. But unfortunately I am not able to compile one of them :-(
I was able to fix some problems like "command not found". But anytime there comes an error like "Syntax error" or "undeclared", in every progam I try to compile. But I can not imagine that there are really syntax or declaration errors in the source codes, even if they have been download very often and I also downloaded some of them several times. To give some names: GAIM 0.75 or GtkScintilla2.

cd GtkScintilla2-0.1.0
make

runs a while but brakes with

gtkscintilla.c:154: error 'scintilla_marshal_VOID__INT_INT' undeclared
error 1

I had a look into gtkscintilla.c and there is really this expression which is not declared in this file. But there are also some include files I did not take a look in. I think it looks like a constant, but how do I know the value of it? Or mustn't it be declared otherwise?

I ran the compilation as root.

Do I (or my system :-)) need something special to compile a program in general (except a compiler and the make)?

I don't know very much about C/C++ programming, I am just doing my first steps with it...

thx,
thw

You need to make sure you have a recent version of glibc, gcc and make. Can you paste the last few lines in your error message? You are probably missing something, but to find out what you need, you have to look at the context. See for an error with an include file.

hello,

That are the last few lines of the make output

---bof---

gcc -I/opt/gnome/include/gtk-2.0 -I/opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/opt/gnome/include/atk-1.0 -I/opt/gnome/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/opt/gnome/include/glib-2.0 -I/opt/gnome/lib/glib-2.0/include -g -Wall -DGTK -DSCI_LEXER -c -o gtkscintilla.o gtkscintilla.c
gtkscintilla.c: In function `gtk_scintilla_class_init':
gtkscintilla.c:154: error: `scintilla_marshal_VOID__INT_INT' undeclared (first use in this function)
gtkscintilla.c:154: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gtkscintilla.c:154: error: for each function it appears in.)
gtkscintilla.c:182: error: `scintilla_marshal_VOID__INT_INT_STRING_INT_INT_INT_INT_INT' undeclared (first use in this function)
gtkscintilla.c:194: error: `scintilla_marshal_VOID__INT_ULONG_LONG' undeclared (first use in this function)
gtkscintilla.c:204: error: `scintilla_marshal_VOID__INT_INT_INT' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [gtkscintilla.o] Fehler 1
---eof---

Something similar to this happens also with other source codes. I don't really see a problem :-(
My glibc/gcc versions shall be okay... (glibc 2.3.2-88, gcc 3.3.1-24, make 3.80-96)

I have absolutely no idea :-(
