Failing to compile/link on SLC5/64bit with gcc 4.1.2

[andre.philippe.sailer@…]

If I try to compile guineapig++ 1.0.12 on SLC5 64bit with the gcc version 4.1.2 the compiler(linker?) ends with the following error messages:

Hello Again,

I think I found the problem. I copied all the files from the tar-ball to a different directory. Instead of guineapig++ I used gp++ as the root directory. This caused some of the paths for the linking to point to a wrong path.

If I keep the files in the guineapig++ there is no problem...

Maybe the makefiles can be changed to be independent of the path? Or some warning to keep the files in guineapig++ folder?

Thanks and best regards, André

Hello,

The problem is that the software CMT generates automatically the makfile. In order to do that one has to adopt a minimum convention. The convention is that a package is entirely characterized by its name. FOr example, if a package nedds somme library from an other package, the links are constructed through the name of this other package. For this reason the localization of packages has to be cohernet with the packages names. It is reasonable to assume thzt a package lies under the folder with its names. So the answer to the problem you ezncountered, would be to emit a warning when the folder name is not correct.

thank you,

Guy
