Need Help, config program....

[Adeon]

Hi This is my second message, same problem, hopeing someone can help me resolve this. Ill donate $20US to the SEQ developers on behalf of the user who can help me get SEQ working again.

Error message : C++ compiler cannot create executables

Im pretty new to Linux and SEQ. A freind helped me get the previous version running fine (Prior to PoP), using the GCC 2.9.2 Compiler. (I know the docs say 3+ I have upgraded since then)

First got the updates working to show the unknown spawns and such. (Still using 2.9.2)..

Updated to the new Libeq.a and got the decode.cpp errors. Read up about the compiler not supporting 64bit encryption so bit the bullet and upgraded.

When i tried to compile I got this error : C++ compiler cannot create executables

My gcc and g++ -dumpversion both say 3.2

I ran through the FAQ again and downloaded everythign and started from scratch.

Still same error.

I checked the boards and searched for posts in the last 3 months, found no solutions that applied..

I am on Platform : Slackware Linux 8.1

Heres my config.log

Any help would be appreciated.

I too am a linux retard that was using slack 8.1. I got 9.0beta. works great. nothing to update, showeq compiles right out of the box.

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2/../../../libstdc++.so: undefined reference to `__ctype_b_loc@GLIBC_2.3'

Error message : C++ compiler cannot create executables


Has been mentioned quite a lot of times before, do a search on the words: "libstdc++.so", "libstdc" or "undefined reference to".

Most likely you:

- don't have all required packages installed OR
- you did not compile with your new gcc version OR
- you did not export the GCC and/or GXX enviromentals correctly.

Please repost with more info's:


examples:
- what packages did you all have installed
- did you compile any packages you had to compile with your new C compiler?
- what guide are you following to install (provide URL to it if possible, most non official guides are out of date)
- what steps are you doing different then mentioned in that guide
- are you doing install as root?
- are you doing install in a xterm window or in the default linux shell?
- did you install qt? if so, how?
- did you export the environemental variables? if so, how, with what commands?
- which commands and in what order did youdo the makes and ./configure?
- what were the error messages and at exactly what step of the process do they happen?

[Adeon]

-what packages did you all have installed
Just installed GCC3.2 and G++ 3.2 from Binaries using PKGTOOL.


- did you compile any packages you had to compile with your new C compiler?
a.No downloaded binaries..

- what guide are you following to install (provide URL to it if possible, most non official guides are out of date)
a.Using the FAQ form the main Page (READ THIS FIRST)
http://www.macsrule.com/~seqfaq/seq-faq.html#2.6

- what steps are you doing different then mentioned in that guide
a.None following exactly

- are you doing install as root?
a.Yes

- are you doing install in a xterm window or in the default linux shell?
a. Terminal in XWindows.. As Root user

- did you install qt? if so, how?
a. Didnt install it.. Using version installed with Slackware 8.1
/usr/lib/qt-3.0.4


- did you export the environemental variables? if so, how, with what commands?
a. Dont think so.. Unless specified in FAQ.

- which commands and in what order did youdo the makes and ./configure?
a. As per the FAQ form Forum main page (Read this)

- what were the error messages and at exactly what step of the process do they happen?
a.Error : C++ compiler cannot create executables
After I type
# CC=gcc CXX=g++ QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt ./configure
aslo tried just..
# ./configure && make
same error..

This could be your error, read section 1.4 and 1.5 of the INSTALL.newbies file found in your showeq directory for more details (that file is also viewable via the "Browse CVS repository" at: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/seq/showeq/INSTALL.newbies?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup )

[baelang]

also, the qt version you installed probably wasn't made with the thread options. you might want to get the source and compile it yourself using gcc3.

[Adeon]

Hi Mr Suspicious..

Ran through the INSTALL.newbies and put in the Export commands..

#export CC=gcc
#export CXX=g++
#export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.0.4

Also tried

#export CC=gcc-3.2
#export CXX=g++-gcc-3.2
#export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.0.4

still same error..

Also added /usr/lib/qt-3.0.4 to ldconfig

I also tried copying my old libstdc++.co into my /gcc-lib/../../3.2 directory

This gave me the Error : Need GCC 3.0 or higher to compile. Copied my newer version (That installed with GCC 3.2) and again gave me the original error.

So it seems to be picking up the new libstdc++.co ok..

:confused:

So maybe its QT related..

Is there anyway to check to see if my QT has been compiled using -thread option ?

QT was working fine previous to update..

[baelang]

#export CXX=g++-gcc-3.2
#export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.0.4

still same error..



As per the INSTALL.newbies, try this:

export CC=gcc3
export CXX=g++3

[Mr. Suspicious]

I also tried copying my old libstdc++.co into my /gcc-lib/../../3.2 directory

That's not particularry smart.

You didn't overlook the 1.4 Editting linux-g++-shared part?

that is just for the compile of QT, which he isn't doing.

he is using the pre-packaged binaries. (which seldom works, but whatever. if it worked on a previous, but recent, version it should work now.)

[Adeon]

Tried #export CC=gcc3 and g++3 also, neither worked..

I copied the old libstdc.co to ensure it was picking up the new one. I didnt expect it to work, but to possibly give me a different error (Which it did)..

keep in mind also my gcc and g++ commands both report version 3.2..

#gcc -dumpversion
3.2

#g++ -dumpversion
3.2

I dont not have any files on my system called gcc3 or g++3

gcc
gcc-2.95.3
gcc-3.2
gccbug
gccmmakedep

So following section 1.4 of the Newbie guide would probably make things worse as it suggests changing all the gcc references to gcc3 ..

I appreciate your help.. Its just damn anoying.. :confused:

[/qote]

looks like your various libraries (libstdc.so etc.) don't match your gcc version. (glibc_2.3 vs. gcc version 3.2)

that might take some work to fix.

[Cryonic]

Didn't realize that the system libraries and the compiler were kept at the same version.

Nope, they aren't kept at the same version. Glibc latest is only 2.3.1, Gcc is at 3.2.

[fee]

Looks to me like your libstdc++ is not the correct version. At the very least you need libstdc++3 and it MUST be compiled with the same version of gcc you plan to use. So if you updated your compiler and for whatever reason you libstdc++3 library was not updated you'll need to fix this

fee

p.s. All your c++ libraries must be compiled with the same c++ compiler you are using. This is for ABI compatibility. Connecting the dots, this means Qt will need to be compiled with gcc 3.2 also.

[Adeon]

My friend got it working again.. He told me to go back to my old compiler and he sent me a patch with this email..


-------------------

I managed to get a successful compile using gcc(g++)-2.95.3. I made a change
in the configure.in script which fixed the --enable-old-compiler option
(it was rejecting anything < 2.96 where it should have been rejecting 2.96
specifically). I also had to make a few changes to fix the integer constant out
of range problem, it was a matter of explicitly stating their type with the ULL (unsigned long long, or 64-bit unsigned) suffix. There was the strange problem
of the word "and" being used in place of the && boolean operator (it must have
been intentional). The last fix was a missing header file (implicit declaration of lrint).

This give me all moving spawns, and the basics, map, radar GPS mode etc.. So now I need to get one of the keysniffers working.. Not having much luck with that either..
