Bug description

Hello,

I am having a lot of difficulty compiling caml 0.75 on SuSE Linux 9.1 with gcc version 3.3.3. A lot of errors occur when I try to run the Makefile. Here is the first major error that occurs when I try to run make from the contrib directory:

make[1]: Entering directory /home/ciaran/Downloads/cl75unix/cl75/contrib/libunix' gcc -I../../src/runtime -O -c -o accept.o accept.c In file included from /usr/include/sys/un.h:38, from socketaddr.h:4, from accept.c:8: /usr/include/string.h:278: error: parse error before '(' token /usr/include/string.h:278: error: conflicting types formemmove' /usr/include/string.h:43: error: previous declaration of memmove' /usr/include/string.h:278: error: parse error before "const" make[1]: *** [accept.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory/home/ciaran/Downloads/cl75unix/cl75/contrib/libunix'

If you could help me with this I would be very grateful.

Hello,

Thank you for the bug report.

I am having a lot of difficulty compiling caml 0.75 on SuSE Linux 9.1 with gcc version 3.3.3. A lot of errors occur when I try to run the Makefile.

Are able to compile the system i.e. to run

$ make world $ make bootstrap $ make install

Or is there any error during this part of the compilation ?

Here is the first major error that occurs when I try to run make from the contrib directory:

make[1]: Entering directory /home/ciaran/Downloads/cl75unix/cl75/contrib/libunix' gcc -I../../src/runtime -O -c -o accept.o accept.c In file included from /usr/include/sys/un.h:38, from socketaddr.h:4, from accept.c:8: /usr/include/string.h:278: error: parse error before '(' token /usr/include/string.h:278: error: conflicting types formemmove' /usr/include/string.h:43: error: previous declaration of memmove' /usr/include/string.h:278: error: parse error before "const" make[1]: *** [accept.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory/home/ciaran/Downloads/cl75unix/cl75/contrib/libunix'

If you could help me with this I would be very grateful.

The problem is due to wrong include files. I will try to investigate this one...

This is the same as #3193, and here is the solution (in English):

In src/runtime/config.h, replace

/ Library dependencies /

ifdef HAS_MEMMOVE

define bcopy(src,dst,len) memmove((dst), (src), (len))

else

ifdef HAS_BCOPY

/ Nothing to do /

else

ifdef HAS_MEMCPY

with

/ Library dependencies /

ifdef HAS_BCOPY

/ Nothing to do /

else

ifdef HAS_MEMMOVE

define bcopy(src,dst,len) memmove((dst), (src), (len))

else

ifdef HAS_MEMCPY

Thanks Damien,

 I have made those changes to /src/runtime/config.h and it fixed my problem.

Thanks you very much for your swift response.

Ciaran.

Well this bug is corrected in the working sources of the development version (0.77). We will distribute it very soon.
