Errors while compiling Faust: "PATH_MAX was not declared in this scope"

prasadbrg · 12-13-2008, 06:52 AM

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to install Faust (http://faust.grame.fr/), downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/faudiostream/ (faust-0.9.9.4b.tar.gz). The README file says:

Code:

 There is no configuration phase. To compile and install the Faust compiler do :

        make
        su  
        make install

Accordingly, after copying to /usr/local/ and doing 'tar -xvzf faust-0.9.9.4b.tar.gz' and entering the directory, I typed 'make'. After a stream of warning messages, this happened:

Code:

After a bit of googling, I found this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=417185. Although it seems to be related, I didnt understand how to work around the problem.

I'm running Mandriva 2009.0.

Any help with this would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Guru

Download the patch they have and apply it. From the top of the faust source tree, execute patch -Np1 -i /path/to/faust-0.9.9.1-1.1-nmu.diff. Of course, replace the /path/to portion with the correct relative or absolute path.

Thanks weilbullguy, for the response!
I downloaded the *.diff file, and moved it to the faust-0.9.9.4 directory (the one created by opening the tarball) - this is the same directory that contains the Makefile. I assumed this is what you referred to as the top of the source tree.
I ran

Code:

patch -Np1 -i faust-0.9.9.1-1-nmu.diff

, and this was the output:

Code:

can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -u faust-0.9.9.1/debian/changelog faust-0.9.9.1/debian/changelog
|--- faust-0.9.9.1/debian/changelog
|+++ faust-0.9.9.1/debian/changelog
--------------------------
File to patch:

This is the output of ls:

Code:

[root@localhost faust-0.9.9.4]# ls
architecture/  documentation/              Makefile              tools/
compiler/      examples/                   README                windows/
COPYING        faust-0.9.9.1-1.1-nmu.diff  syntax-highlighting/

I haven't used the 'patch' utility before - the command wasn't there on my system, I just installed it through urpmi. I would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks in advance,

Guru

Your command seems quite OK !
But you can't patch debian/ not present,
so just hit <Enter>
Asked for file to patch : <Enter>
( if it's not there )

Instead of patching for gcc-4.3, I just installed
g++4.2 ( # urpmi gcc4.2-c++ )

( reason : the patching didn't clear all errors. )

Then make can be run with the "new" compiler :

'CC=gcc4.2 CXX=g++4.2 make'
....

Thanks knudfl for the response....
Your solution worked! I used the older gcc and it seems to have compiled - there is an executable now, and I need to learn how to get it to run.
Thanks once again.
Cheers,
Guru

It' easy to try out :

example
'faust "path-to-faust-0.9.9.4"/examples/bandfilter.dsp'

Thanks! It's working fine!
