Fedora 9 compiles

[Fyorl]

I'm not sure if I should be posting this here but I'm guessing this is the official GemRB forum?

 

The 0.3.0 source fails to compile on my x86_64 laptop running Fedora 9 with the following error:

However the latest SVN checkout compiles fine after running autogen.sh.

Yes, this is the 'official gemrb forum'.

 

And yeah, about 2-3 months ago lynx fixed some compilation warnings.

Fixes still happen occasionally, hehe.

[Fyorl]

Heh, I'm just pleased to see the 97.5% activity rating on sourceforge ^_^

[Avenger]

Actually, a 97.5% is very low!

It was usually over 99% for years.

[Fyorl]

Oh god, I had better get started writing some GUI Scripts then

[Guest lynx]

you get these warnings if you use gcc >= 4.3 . More conformance, more warnings.

[Fyorl]

Would adjusting my CFLAGS variable help? Can I remove the switch that treats all warnings as errors?

[Guest lynx]

if you really want to use 0.3.0 and not svn, then just remove -Werror from all the makefiles and retry. Overriding C*FLAGS would remove some other flags too.

[Avenger]

If you want to submit patches it is always good to work with the SVN version.

Not like there is a big chance of something changing in the iwd2 guiscripts, but things happen sometimes

[Fyorl]

Hmm well the best I can do with the SVN release is compile it. After that I can't get it to execute. It fails with something like: 'Error loading shared object libgemrb_core.so.0 no such file or directory'.

 

I thought maybe gemrb.cfg was the problem however it doesn't even get to the config loading stage.

[Avenger]

The core .so should be removed from the plugins dir.

Normal install does it, i guess you just compiled without install?

[Fyorl]

I had a chat with lynx over IRC and we managed to fix the problem. The problem was 'make install' didn't install the libgemrb_core.so.0 anywhere that the gemrb binary was looking for it. Instead I ran the version inside the build folder.
