• Building SyncTERM in ArchLinux with Code Blocks.

    From Electrosys@VERT/DIGIAQUA to All on Sun Sep 2 01:19:30 2018
    I'm trying to build SyncTERM in ArchLinux with Code Blocks. I start by simply pulling in the xpdev project and trying to build that one. I get the following error when I try and build that project though: gcc.freebsd.obj.debug/main.o no such file or directory. What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Electrosys

    I was able to get past the gcc.freebsd.obj.debug/main.o error by removing main.c from the XPDEV project. I was able to build XPDEV and Conio, but when I try and build Comio I get an error about gen_defs.h missing. gen_defs is included in XPDEV, am I missing a linker option or something to pull it in? Currently I have comio.c, comio_nix.c and comio.h pulled into my comio project in code blocks.

    Thanks,

    I was able to get all of the libs built. I'm having some trouble building the synchronet project though. I'm getting errors about uint32_t and uint8_t being defined already. They are defined in gen_defs.h but its seems they are also defined in some of my libs /usr/include/bits/stdint-uintn.h . Do you know how I can get past the errors I'm seeing around gen_def.h?

    Code Blocks Specifically gives the error: conflicting types for int32_t, etc..

    Thanks,

    Is there a reason you're not using the developers' supported method of building it (i.e. 'make')? I would recommend starting there and then after you're successful with the normal/support build system, if you want to move to some other development framework/IDE/build system, you'll have some knowledge/foundation to go on.

    Sounds like a compiler INCLUDE issue, not a linker issue.

    Perhaps you should just use the normal/supported build method instead.

    Thanks thats a great point. I was able to build with make but want to work in an IDE so that its easier to code and debug. I was able to build the project with make but maybe I need to tell CodeBlocks to use the make config, I would imagine there is a way to do that.

    In looking at the code::blocks wiki it seems they suggest against using the make file. I think my problem was that I was making minor code changes to get the progam to compile which I shouldn't need to do since make already builds the project. It should just be a matter of setting up the projects in code blocks right by adding the correct search and link paths to the dependant projects.

    http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Code::Blocks_and_Makefiles

    I was working on bulding xpdev and got this:

    xp_syslog.c line 11: static char log_host[1025]=

    The error is something about expect a '('. It looks like something is missing from the rest of that line.

    How do you browse the syncterm project on the cvs web interface? I can only find the sbbs project.

    Thanks,

    We don't actually use xp_syslog.* for anything.
