m32 kdb using qserver compiled under m64?

[Chao LI]

Hi,

I'm following the instructions in kx svn to compile the qserver in osx. But I'm running m32 reseach license kdb on my imac. in R i can load qserver.R correctly however even when I load a table of 10 rows R session will crash. 

Is this an issue of using m64 qserver in m32 kdb? Or is it an R issue?

R version 3.0.2 

x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)

thanks

Chao

Hi Chao Li

The distributed osx qserver.so was compiled with R 2.15, and will work with kdb+ m32 and m64. 

I just tried compiling with R 3.02, and this also works with both m32 and m64. I will send you the .so in a separate message.

Hi

I am having some difficulty getting qserver working on OSX 10.10 with R 3.1.1 (Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0 (64-bit)) and free trial kdb+ 3.2 (m32). Both R and kdb+ are working independently. I followed these steps to try and get qserver compiled:

1. Downloaded cookbook_code/r/osx_qserver from svn and saved this at ~/r/osx_qserver

2. Copied in to ~/r/osx_qserver: k.h (from svn kx/kdb+/c/c) and m64/c.o (from svn kx/kdb+/m64)

3. Downloaded common.c and qserver.c from svn cookbook_code/r/c and saved to ~/r/c

4. Ran make in ~/r/osx_qserver and had the following returned

I am stuck at this point, any advice would be appreciated.

The default gcc from Apple is not sufficient to build for kdb+.

Can you install GCC 4.8 from Homebrew?

e.g.

Thanks Charles. I got everything working fine. After installing GCC 4.8 the default was still the Apple version, so I changed the Makefile to refer to gcc-4.8. Is that the preferred way to do it, or should I used an alias or some other way to make the default compiler GCC 4.8?

it's really up to whatever you personally prefer; both approaches work.
