Unable to compile gnome-libs.1.2.x
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When trying to compile the gnome-libs-1.2.x on a fresh RedHat 7.1 (i386) system the compile fails after a few minutes with the following output: gnome-metadata.c: In function `metadata_get_list': gnome-metadata.c:482: warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type gnome-metadata.c:482: too few arguments to function gnome-metadata.c: In function `metadata_get_no_dup': gnome-metadata.c:515: warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type gnome-metadata.c:515: too few arguments to function make[2]: *** [gnome-metadata.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/download/gnome/gnome-libs- 1.2.13/libgnome' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/download/gnome/gnome-libs-1.2.13' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Thanks to Telsa Gwynne telling me to use the "--enable-prefer-db1" option gnome-libs-1.2.x now compiles properly on my system. Thanks Telsa!!! I did confirm that my RedHat 7.1 installation did have the RPMS for DB1, DB2, and DB3 installed. :) Regards, /*Raj Wurttemberg*/ raj@starbase-01.com
:) Well, now I know the workaround, but ./configure should check this, no? Will mark as depending on the one that describes that.
Commited fix to CVS.
