I'm trying to install from source (on debian 8 - jessie). When executing "./icm_bootstrap x" are the errors reported in the file icm_bootstrap_err1.log. Exporting "-std gnu99 =" or "= -std gnu11" are the errors reported in the file icm_bootstrap_err2.log. Exporting "-std = c99" or "-std = c11" are the errors reported in the file icm_bootstrap_err3.log. icm_bootstrap_err1.log.zip icm_bootstrap_err2.log.zip icm_bootstrap_err3.log.zip

Thank you for your report about compiling icmake.

Jessie's gcc compiler is currently at version 4.9.2, compared to, e.g., stretch, which offers 5.3.1. So stretch (testing) offers a major version upgrade as compared to Jessie (stable). I suggest you upgrade to a more recent compiler, or -maybe easier- install the icmake package which can be installed using, e.g., apt-get install icmake.

Unfortunately you didn't list the commands you issued, which makes it hard to figure out what happened. It's unlikely that you executed '/icm_bootstrap x' as that suggests you executed the command from the root-directory of your file system, which would be highly unusual.

(As an aside, please note that you reported urls starting with https://githubcom/fbb-git/icmake/: 'githubcom', however, does not exist, but 'github.com' does.)

When I run the commands 

./icm_prepare /

and then

./icm_bootstrap x

I do not encounter any issues. E.g., here's what I get:

$ ./icm_prepare /
Creating the intermediate destination directory ./tmp
and removing any old files
Writing tmp/ROOT
Creating remaining intermediate destination directories

$ ./icm_bootstrap x

man-pages to tmp//usr/share/man/man1 and .../man7
documentation to tmp//usr/share/doc/icmake and tmp//usr/share/doc/icmake-doc
./etc files to tmp/etc/
Done.

I ran the commands, showing exactly identical results, on i386 and amd64 architectures, so other than the advice to upgrade your compiler or to use 'apt-get install icmake' there's not very much I can do right now to help you out.

Hi fbb-git, sorry for partial information. Here are the shell commands I used to build icmake:

$ git clone https://github.com/fbb-git/icmake.git
$ cd icmake/icmake/
$ ./icm_prepare /
$ ./icm_bootstrap x

The version of debian jessie is stable (no packages from testing or unstable releases). BTW I also tried on Ubuntu 14.04 (also stable version) and I got similar errors. Bye

Thanks for the additional info.

In the meantime I reran the installation scripts using an old 4.9 compiler, and I can confirm your compilation errors.

Since the errors are clearly related to an old compiler version, I suggest you upgrade your compiler, or for the time being stick to icmake's version which comes with Debian stable, which is 7.21.01.

Github tagged versions before 8.00.00 compile OK with 4.9. E.g., I just ran ./icm_bootstrap / on tagged release 7.23.02, which is the last 7-release before upgrading to versions 8.xx.yy, which compiles fine with gcc 4.9.3.

Ok, I'll use the distribution package. Bye

OK, thanks for your reactions. I'm closing the issue.
