Hi,
Why does not Kylix3 compile and run under Mandrake 10.0?

Kylix is in binary form only......

What error do you have? Post it.

Thank you for response!

Kylix3 intalls, compile and run projects fine under earlier versions of Mandrake i.e. 9.0, 9.1 & 9.2.
Under Mandrake 10 when hitting F9 the program stops and is not responding.

Also, the Borpretest reports OK but the program freeze.

- If you export Makefile in the Kylix gui as Makefile you can see the exact error message by compiling it in the shell.

- The error is something like: ilink, Vmem.c line 90 fatal error.

- Talking with the Borland Support got me nowhere, they are focusing on their JBuilderX stuff which will be ready only next year. Very dismaying to find out they develop such a neat tool and never follow up on it.

- So the error is with their <ilink> application which is not open source.

- If you try and run kylix3 applications (compiled on Mandrake 9.2) on Mandrake 10, they will run fine.

- There must be some smart person out there who can figure out how to fix this issue which has to be related to the Kernel 2.6 GCC libraries.

- Some french Kylix developer site I found, also had grim predictions for Kylix, if I understood right.

- Reminds me of a similar situation with the Amiga computer- had a loyal following but never survived the market.

- The exact error message:

Turbo Incremental Link 5.80 Copyright (c) 1997-2002 Borland
ilink: ../VMem.c:90: AutoSetLastError: Assertion `!"Bad error code"' failed.
make: *** [kylix_exe_name] Aborted

- If you do the compile from the gui (F9) option, the gui will crash exiting the application.

New <ilink> and <ilink.so> can be found at:

www.nux.co.za (South Africa).


Works great.

Hi, I have some problems with running Kylix3 on mandrake 10 too...
first the program wouldnt install...
I found libgc++ for mandrake in the rpm maneger and installed that, that made the installation run..
so far so good..
then when I started it it wouldnt compile complained about the stdlibs (time.h as one)..
So after googling a few minutes I found out that it needs an old version called compat-gdlibc or simular I found that, installed it, and changed the include path from the version I installed earlier to the one I just downloaded..
then finally it seemd to compile.. but..heh
after a succesfull linkin it all just closes
help will be very appreciated..

After I build an application I want to execute it without using Kylix, but when runing it via the command ./appname is returns something like initPANSIString Relocation error?

How can I overcome this problem

You need a soft link like

ln -s /usr/local/kylix3/bin/filename.so /usr/lib/filename.so or
ln -s /usr/local/kylix3/bin/filename.so /usr/lib/filename.so

depending of the location of the file ( Search it with find /usr -iname "filename.so" )

You will probably need more than one link, before the application will run.

You need the ilink patch, checkout
