compile error with gcc; OK with gcc32
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:32 EST
Description of problem: I am getting a compile error trying to build the rss_glx-0.7.4 rpm. If I set CC=gcc32, then the package build. I can supply everything include the full rpm but you can probably get it quicker/better from sourceforge. The error messages are: if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../src -O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -I/usr/X11R6/include -O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -I/usr/X11R6/include -MT rsMath.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/rsMath.Tpo" \ -c -o rsMath.o `test -f 'rsMath.c' || echo './'`rsMath.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/rsMath.Tpo" ".deps/rsMath.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/rsMath.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi rsMath.c:40:9: missing terminating " character rsMath.c: In function `rsCPUDetect': rsMath.c:41: error: syntax error before "xor" rsMath.c:69:9: missing terminating " character rsMath.c:89:17: missing terminating " character rsMath.c: In function `rsVec_normalize': rsMath.c:90: error: syntax error before "femms" rsMath.c:130:17: missing terminating " character rsMath.c:142:17: missing terminating " character rsMath.c:143: error: syntax error before "movups" rsMath.c:162:17: missing terminating " character rsMath.c:190:17: missing terminating " character rsMath.c: In function `rsVec_cross': rsMath.c:191: error: syntax error before "femms" rsMath.c:224:17: missing terminating " character rsMath.c:236:17: missing terminating " character rsMath.c:237: error: syntax error before "movups" rsMath.c:253:17: missing terminating " character make[3]: *** [rsMath.o] Error 1 I will attach the corresponding source code for rsMath.c

See http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.3/changes.html * The preprocessor no longer accepts multi-line string literals. They were deprecated in 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2. Which means you need to fix the code if you want to compile it with gcc 3.3 and later. Either by adding \ at the end of each line in multi-line string, like: "foo\ bar\ baz" or by concatenating one-line strings: "foo\n" "bar\n" "baz\n"
Oops ... pilot error ... sort of. The problem still exists with gcc32 since it is using g++ to compile. However, this compiles OK on RHL9.
