Error during gawkextlib installation

[nair...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I would like to have some help about this error :

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all-recursive
Making all in packaging
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wshadow -no-undefined -L/Users/dorian/produits//lib -o libgawkextlib.la -rpath /usr/local/lib strhash.lo varinit.lo

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [libgawkextlib.la] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


Some details :
This error appears when i install gawk v4.1.1 and extlib v1.0.0

I tried gawk v4.1.0 but ./configure step lead to errors... That's why i keep trying with the last version.


There are my commands :
on the gawk directory > ./configure --prefix=/Users/dorian/produits/
> make
> make install

on gawkextlib dir -> ./configure ----with-gawk=/Users/dorian/produits/
> make (ERROR step)


Thx :)

What platform are you using? I am unable to duplicate this on Fedora 19 linux x86_64.

This suggests that your gawkapi.h file is damaged or missing. It should contain:

#define gawk_free(ptr) (api->api_free(ptr))

What precise commands are you running? I tried to duplicate this, but I cannot. I ran these commands:

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-4.1.1.tar.xz
tar xf gawk-4.1.1.tar.xz
cd gawk-4.1.1
./configure --prefix=/tmp/gawktest && make && make check && make install && echo GOOD
cd ..
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/gawkextlib/files/gawkextlib-1.0.0.tar.gz
tar xf gawkextlib-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd gawkextlib-1.0.0
./configure --with-gawk=/tmp/gawktest && make && make check && echo GOOD

Andy

I confirm,

starting from
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-4.1.1.tar.xz
....
...
and
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/gawkextlib/files/gawkextlib-1.0.0.tar.gz
...
...

for 32-bit Ubuntu:
Linux Pxxx 3.2.0-35-generic-pae #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 5 18:04:39 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

for 64-bit Ubuntu
Linux rxxx 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

the results are OK

Hello thank you for your answers.

I'm trying to run this on MacOS Yosemite.

That's why i'm using gawk sources to install it.

I unfortunately don't have access to a MacOS system to test this on. If you are continuing to have problems, it would be helpful if you could post somewhere (pastebin?) a log containing all the commands and all the output.

I can't remember having ever had any problems on Yosemite or Mavericks.

My currently installed gawkextlib extensions are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 peifer staff 29032 Mar 16 2014 mpfr.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 peifer staff 292928 Apr 21 2014 xml.so

I am using MacPorts, though, which makes life somewhat easier. There is
also Homebrew, Fink, perhaps others.

Lucky u ^^
Could you even remember how did you install your gawkextlib ?
Did you follow a tutorial ? Or something that can help me ?


@Andrew Schorr I checked the gawkapi.h file and the line was exactly the one you quoted.
Is that possible that it is something else that damages the file ?

I was following the manual page at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/gawkextlib.html, and
the README file (they are not exactly saying the same thing, though).

See below. Hermann

Sorry -- the information in the gawk manual is out of date. The gawkextlib README file should be correct.

Indeed. On the other hand: starting form the (somewhat outdated) manual,
people will get to the README, and from there to xml.so. For the
initiated, there is a fair chance to be done in, say: 15 minutes or
less, which is an acceptable amount of life time, I would say.
