Problem building #555

Closed jtremblay closed 2 months ago

jtremblay commented 2 months ago

When I try to compile on a centos7 system I get the following error:

dynlibs.cc:76:29: error: expected initializer before « OF »
 gzFile ZEXPORT (*gzdopen_p) OF((int, const char *));
                             ^~
dynlibs.cc:77:26: error: expected initializer before « OF »
 int ZEXPORT (*gzclose_p) OF((gzFile));
                          ^~
dynlibs.cc:78:25: error: expected initializer before « OF »
 int ZEXPORT (*gzread_p) OF((gzFile, void *, unsigned));
                         ^~

I've tried with gcc 8.4.0 and gcc 12. Any hint? Cheers,

The OF macro is defined in zconf.h which is part of the zlib development package. It is found in the package zlib1g-dev on Debian/Ubuntu and zlib-devel on Fedora (and Red Hat) linux. The zlib package enables decompression of .gz files. The macro is probably not needed, but was used for compatibility with really old compilers.

Did you build with autoconf and automake etc as described in the README?

Please see the README, the Dockerfile and the files in the dockerfiles folder for precise build descriptions.
