can't compile listen-up

can't compile listen-up

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi  all.

I grabbed listen-up out of cvs right now. I grabbed, and successfully
installed the 2 libraries it needs, and created a bin directory in the
listen-up container.

Here are the errors I got when doing make.

src/DTBPlayer.cc: In member function `int DTBPlayer::start()':
src/DTBPlayer.cc:177: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'
src/DTBPlayer.cc:185: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'
src/DTBPlayer.cc:220: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'
src/DTBPlayer.cc:226: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'
src/DTBPlayer.cc:248: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'
src/DTBPlayer.cc:254: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'
src/DTBPlayer.cc: In member function `void
DTBPlayer::writeLastLine(const
   char*, short int, short int)':
src/DTBPlayer.cc:814: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'
make: *** [src/DTBPlayer.o] Error 1

If more details are needed, please let me know.
Thanks.

Greg

My first question is what version of g++ and all of it's dependencies
are you using?  No compiler I can think of should complain about a
recast from const char* from char*.  I am using g++ 3.3 but I'll try
with some earlier versions as well.

Sorry about that.

My setup is basically the same as Steve Holmes'. The gcc is from Slack
9.0. 

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.2.2/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
--enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking
--with-gnu-ld --verbose --target=i386-slackware-linux
--host=i386-slackware-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.2

The version of glibc is 2.3.1.

Thanks.

Greg

Re: can't compile listen-up

[Steve Holmes]

I wonder if a change in compiler flags would be in order to get this
to compile? I'm not really up on many of the vast number of compiler
options available.  If this is a potential problem with machine or
distro differences, I wonder if I should look into autoconf.  Ifind
autoconf and automake to be fascenating but have never actually used
them.  I hear it is tough to get set up initially for an app project.
Seems odd though that it will compile on some machines and not others
and I assume we're all using reasonably current versions of the
compiler and libraries.  Slackware 9.0 came out just this past March
so should be quite current on gcc and glibc I would think.

In case it helps any, perhaps I'll include the make log that happened
with the original compile before I messed with any headers.  Sorry for
the length.  If this duplicates the other message, then I'm sorry for
the wasted band width.

Okay guys, try doing an update and recompiling.  I was having trouble
getting it to compile under 2.95.4 as well.  I am not sure it will
compile on your boxes now but it does under 2.95.4 and 3.3.1.  You
should see the cvs log message for details.

No, same ol' shit!:(.  I just did a cvs update and same errors.  I
wonder if I need to find some compiler flags to get around this?

Re: can't compile listen-up

[Kirk Reiser]

I think we may need more input.  Both of you are running Slackware 9.0
where I am using debian.  I have tried it and got it running on both
woody and sid with g++ 2.95.4 and 3.3.1.  I am thinking it must be
something different about the compiler flags on slackware but I'm not
sure what to suggest.  Has anyone tried this on Redhat?

Hi
Just tried it on my redhat 9 system running gcc 3.2.2. No problems with compile or operation. Must be something specific to slackware.

Yes.  I've compiled Listen-up on RedHat 9.

Re: can't compile listen-up

[Mikko Liukko]

Hello

I can compile it on debian sid
gcc version 3.3 

but not in gentoo gcc version 3.2 unless I change the _mainMenuString 
arguments to (char *)_mainMenuString when calling wprintw in DTBPLayer.cc

This could have something to do with g++ versions that disallow passing string 
constants to char*.

There is a redhat bug about the issue

Re: can't compile listen-up

Hi Mikko:  Thanks for hunting that down.  Would you mind sending me a
diff of your mainMenuString changes to DTBPlayer.cc?  I have no
problem compiling so if I change it I'm not sure I'll catch all the
messages.  If you could easily take a diff I can apply it and check in
and the Slackware users should be good to go.

You're good to go! I just got a clean compile.  Now for running the
thing:).  How's that for quick turn-around:).
