Re: [Swarm-Support] undefined references: problems compiling swarm

[Paul E. Johnson]

If you are using the gcc I build (the rpm) , then the patch is applied.

The patch is included in the SRPM package.

The rpm philosophy is that you keep a source package in pristine state 
and then add patches at build time.

The patch for gcc-3.3 is this one:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Marcus_gcc301_MethodFunction.patch

Your configure statement is wrong, because if you don't want to build 
with java, you need --without-jdkdir in there.  Other instructions in 
faq still apply.

You need something like

mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/swarm --with-defaultdir=/usr 
--without-jdkdir

if you build swarm with the patched gcc, the make line I use is

make EXTRACPPFLAGS=-DMETHOD_FUNCTIONS EXTRALDFLAGS=-static-libgcc 
JAVAC=/usr/bin/jikes

If you have tcl/tk 8.4, you will run into trouble because of the fact 
that their new thread work uses a variable named "id". 8.3 should be OK.

Until we get the problem straightened out caused by recent changes in 
Swarm to support MAC OS, I'd suggest you consider building the last good 
linux version of swarm that I'm completely sure about:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH8.0/swarm-2.1.141.20021019.tar.gz

In the more recent packages, as I think I mentioned last week, we 
started to see some TCL/TK related wrinkles and now every time I run a 
swarm program, I get this big warning message that it can't find the 
"special" bitmap.  THat did not come up until after I made the tarball 
2.1.141.
