Dear all,

I have the following when I try to compile it ("make").

=====================
In file included from ./disasm/asm_program.cpp:16:
/usr/include/libiberty.h:106: error: new declaration ‘char*
basename(const char*)’
/usr/include/string.h:601: error: ambiguates old declaration ‘const
char* basename(const char*)’
./disasm/asm_program.cpp: In function ‘bfd* initialize_bfd(const
char*)’:
./disasm/asm_program.cpp:520: warning: deprecated conversion from
string constant to ‘char*’
make[3]: *** [asm_program.o] Error 1

Could you please let me know if you know how to fix this.

Best regards.

Sorry for letting this question languish in the moderation queue.
(It's a necessary evil to reduce spam, but it sometimes makes for an
unfortunate bottleneck).

This error is one that we've seen before, and which has also affected
some other open-source projects; it's a header file incompatibility
between certain versions of the Binutils and glibc. You can work
around it by defining "HAVE_DECL_BASENAME" before including
"libiberty.h". Previous discussions on the list have more information,
including an explicit patch:

Hope this helps,

You've now repeated this question twice quoting the text from previous
people who have asked it, but it's not clear to me whether you
actually tried the fix that I had referenced in my replies to those
earlier messages (for instance because you didn't quote this latter
text). When you say "after adding that also i am getting [the] same
errors", it would help if you said explicitly what "that" was.

In my experience this problem is reliably fixed by making the small
change that I referenced in those previous emails, so if you're still
seeing the error, the most likely situation is that you're not making
the change correctly. But we'll only have a chance of helping you with
that sort of problem if you can explain in detail what you tried and
the error you're still seeing. Alternatively, if you're familiar with
C++ and understand the situation that's triggering the error, it seems
to me that you should be able to debug the problem yourself. Of course
teaching everything you might want to know about C++ or Linux software
development is beyond the scope of this mailing list, but if you can
formulate some specific questions you're more likely to get helpful
answers.
