problems building Vine 1.0 under Ubuntu 10.04 lucid

[canonical.chris]

Hi,

I followed the instructions for the Vine installation, and ran into
problems almost immediately with a conflict between the declaration of
basename() in libiberty.h and string.h.

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/ubuntu/bitblaze/vine-1.0/libasmir/
src'
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../libasmir -I/home/ubuntu/bitblaze/
vine-1.0/VEX//pub -I./include -fPIC -g -O2 -MT asm_program.o -MD -MP -
MF .deps/asm_program.Tpo -c -o asm_program.o `test -f './disasm/
asm_program.cpp' || echo './'`./disasm/asm_program.cpp
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

Is this a known issue with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid? Should I revert to
Karmic instead?

Thanks

Our recommended platform for building the TEMU and Vine 1.0 releases
is still Ubuntu 9.04 ("Jaunty"), since that's what they were tested
with.

However this is a known issue with a simple fix. The patch below is
copied from a previous message at:

http://groups.google.com/group/bitblaze-users/browse_thread/thread/66983b0ddce7827b/

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the pointer; I had searched using the error message, but
since that older post does not report the error that one receives, I
did not find it; should have searched just for basename.

Seems to be working now; at least the build gets farther along.
