Any idea for this compilation error ?

Thanks for your replies

Hi Frank,

No worries.  A couple of thoughts, to help figure out what is going wrong

• Wondering which version of Salasaga's source code that is happening for?
• Wondering which version of gcc is giving that error?
• Which linux distribution are you using?  It seems to be using a different version of libintl than what I've coded for.

If you try the version latest source code (from Subversion), does it give a better result?

Hi Justin,

Your new version don't compile on my linux. I have the same error as with the alpha5 version. It stops at the same point.

Hi Frank,

Ouch, that's not good.  The Alpha 6 release will probably be the most stable and usable too. 

RHEL/Centos 5.x are an important platform, so I'll make it a priority to get it working.  Most likely this weekend.

Have just started the download of Centos 5.3 (64 bit) DVD image, and will download the 32-bit one after that.

Are you ok to wait a few days until it's workable for you?

Regards and best wishes,

Hi Justin,

No problem, i can wait. Good luck for debugging and making it to work on RH/CentOS

Thanks a lot

Thanks Frank, not a problem.

Hi Frank,

There were two small-ish problems with the source code when run on Centos 5.3:

• Centos 5.3 has a really old version of automake, causing problems with the auto configuration part of things.  configure.ac has been adjusted to now function (though with warnings)
• Also on Centos 5.3, the libgnome.h include file requires libintl.h to be defined before it.  That has now been done too

A new development snapshot of the Alpha 6 source code, with these changes, is available here:

  http://www.salasaga.org/downloads/alpha6_dev/salasaga_20090524.tar.bz2

If you can please test and confirm that it compiles and now works for you, that would be great.

Regards and best wishes,
