I can't find feature.h in the bow library that you linked to ... what does it belong to ?

Can you show the line where the error occurred ?

hi Infinity08,

thanks for helping me:)  well actually it is features.h (not feature.h) file comes with the linux distributiion under the /usr/include as it is on my system.  The gcc compiler complains the following directive:

#if _FORTIFY_SOURCE > 0 && __OPTIMIZE__ > 0 \  (specifically, this line, line265)
    && (__GNUC_PREREQ (4, 1) \
        || (defined __GNUC_RH_RELEASE__ && __GNUC_PREREQ (4, 0)) \
        || (defined __GNUC_RH_RELEASE__ && __GNUC_PREREQ (3, 4) \
            && __GNUC_MINOR__ == 4 \
            && (__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ > 2 \
                || (__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ == 2 && __GNUC_RH_RELEASE__ >= 8))))


Thanks:)

by the way, sorry about the missing 's' to the file name...lOl

what does __OPTIMIZE__ expand to ? And _FORTIFY_SOURCE ?

There might be a bug somewhere ... Did you recently upgrade your compiler ? What is your glibc version ?

hi guru,

what does __OPTIMIZE__ expand
>> __OPTIMIZE__ is defined in the bow-20020213/argp/argp-fs-xinl.c file.  In this file it has these two lines," #undef __OPTIMIZE__" and "#define __OPTIMIZE__"..

And _FORTIFY_SOURCE ?
>> /* These are defined by the user (or the compiler)
   to specify the desired environment:

 _FORTIFY_SOURCE      If set to numeric value > 0 additional security
                  measures are defined, according to level.


Did you recently upgrade your compiler ? What is your glibc version ?
>> No, i didn't.  How do u check glibc version?


Sorry that's all i can provide u with.. hope this helps as im really lost..

thanks,

r6

hi guru,

i've followed yoru instruction and have all __OPTIMIZE__ replaced and it worked out fine:)  However, i now run into a new error.. which is:
svm_base.c: In function 'svm_parse_opt':
svm_base.c:265: error: label at end of compound statement

Again.. i have no idea what went wrong up here.. so please help me:)

thanks,

R6

>> svm_base.c:265: error: label at end of compound statement

I assume that you are using the same version as the one I'm looking at (20020213). Can you confirm that ?

Anyway, this is the code I have around that line :

    <SNIP>
        case 4:
          kernel = svm_kernel_fisher;
          break;
        default:                                       /* <--- this line */
        }
        break;
      case AL_TEST_IN_TRAIN_ARG:
    <SNIP>

The problem is that you have an empty label (default:) there. Make that :

    <SNIP>
        case 4:
          kernel = svm_kernel_fisher;
          break;
        default:
          break;                                       /* <--- add this line */
        }
        break;
      case AL_TEST_IN_TRAIN_ARG:
    <SNIP>

(without the <SNIP>'s of course :))

>> I assume that you are using the same version as the one I'm looking at (20020213). Can you confirm that ?
that is correct sir:)

now i've fixed the default error.  But i still cant finish making it.. now the compiler complains about some undefined references to _option_is_short and _option_is_end.. im sorry to ask for you help once again..

Mmm ... that's a bit less straightforward.

What operating system is this (exact version) ? Can you also run these commands to get the gcc and glibc versions :

        gcc --version
        ls -l /lib/libc*
        /lib/libc.so.6

and post the output here.


That should be in the argp-xinl.o object file. Can you do this :

        nm argp-xinl.o

to show the symbols in the object file, and post the output here.

Can you also show how you compiled this (the commands) ?

basically, i just follow the installation instruction, that is, "configure --prefix=/usr/local", make

That's odd ...

Can you show the output for this command :

        ls -al ./argp/*.o

when you're in the bow directory.

Did the configure command complete successfully ? Were there any compilation errors before the ones you showed ?

Ah, there it is :)

Can you run the nm command on that one ...

lOl im such a noob how could i miss that lOl

>> nm argp-xinl.o
it outputs nothing.

so what does that tell u?

thanks,

r6

>> it outputs nothing.

>> so what does that tell u?

Did you change the __OPTIMIZE__ to __OPTIMIZE_ARGP__ everywhere ? (in some files it had to be modified more than once). Especially in the argp.h and argp-xinl.c files.

>> Did you change the __OPTIMIZE__ to __OPTIMIZE_ARGP__ everywhere ?

Use this command to verify (start from the bow directory) :

        cd argp
        more * | grep "__OPTIMIZE__"

It shouldn't have any output.

yes it outputs nothing and i still got the same errors, the __option_is_short one..when i make from the bow-20020213 directory.

thanks,

R6

argp-xinl.o should export some symbols at least ...

Can you delete all the .o files, and run the make again ?

>> Can you delete all the .o files, and run the make again ?
still got the same error and nm argp-xinl.o still outputs nothing.

by the way, are u able to install this program on ur system, just wondering?

thanks,

r6

>> still got the same error and nm argp-xinl.o still outputs nothing.

And you didn't make any other modifications to the code than the ones listed in this thread ?


>> by the way, are u able to install this program on ur system, just wondering?

I didn't try as I currently have no access to a Linux system with gcc. I might be able to try later tonight.

>> And you didn't make any other modifications to the code than the ones listed in this thread ?
thats right sir.

>> I didn't try as I currently have no access to a Linux system with gcc. I might be able to try later tonight.
guess we'll have to wait till you try that out:)

thanks,

r6

>> guess we'll have to wait till you try that out:)

I tested it on a FreeBSD system (not exactly Linux but similar enough) with gcc 3.4.6

The argp library compiled fine (after replacing <malloc.h> with <stdlib.h>) :

        cd argp
        make

If you do just that (after deleting the .o files) - does that make a difference ?

>> The argp library compiled fine (after replacing <malloc.h> with <stdlib.h>) :
> >      cd argp
>>        make

yes im able to get this done and libargp.a created in /usr/local/lib as the result.

but when i make at bow-20020213 directory, i still got the same error as before..

thanks,
r6

guru, do u think i should try compiling it with an older version of gcc?

>> yes im able to get this done and libargp.a created in /usr/local/lib as the result.
>> but when i make at bow-20020213 directory, i still got the same error as before..

The errors you showed were for the argp library :

./argp/libargp.a(argp-parse.o)(.text+0x2a3): In function `convert_options':
/home/server/bow-20020213/argp/argp-parse.c:348: undefined reference to `_option_is_short'

So, which errors do you get now ?


>> guru, do u think i should try compiling it with an older version of gcc?

If you can do that, then that would be a nice test. Because the code dates from over 5 years ago.

You can also revert the changes that we did uptil now before you try, and put them back if needed.

yep im still getting these errors although i successfully make and make install in argp dir..

lol now im having problem making gcc-3.0... god... end of the world to me hahaha any thoughts for the hopeless guy :)

thanks,

r6

>> yep im still getting these errors

That doesn't make a lot of sense, as those errors are in compiling the argp library ... and you already did that successfully.
