compiling problem with warc-tools

[Bjarne Andersen]

Hi there.

I upgraded to svn version 203 - now I can't compile the warc-tools project

make goes fine
make install goes:

gcc -I. -Ilib/private -Ilib/public -Ilib/private/plugin/gzip -Ilib/private/plugin/cunit -Ilib/private/pl
b/private/plugin/event -Ilib/private/plugin/event/compat -Ilib/private/plugin/regex -Ilib/private/plugin

make[1]: *** [lib/private/plugin/python/wrapper_wbloc.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bja/warc-tools-read-only'
make: *** [python] Error 2

I'm quite sure it's just me doing something wrong - I'm not used to compile and build things my self this way

So hopefully someone can help me out.

I forgot to say that I'm using:
Python 2.5.2
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-10)
swig 1.3.36

[WARC]

Hi Bjarne,

The problem seems to be related to "make python".
So, the "make python" if failing. One way to quickly understand
the problem is to get a old version, let say r194 and try to do :

make && make python

Let me know if the problem persist.

[WARC]

Hi Bjarne,

After investigating a bit, the problem is definitly not related to
"warc-tools" at all.
The issue is due to incompatible values for the constant
"_POSIX_C_SOURCE"
in two diffrents C header files on your system.

* The first definition is in file "/usr/include/features.h" (line 190):

# define _POSIX_SOURCE 1
# if defined _XOPEN_SOURCE && (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) < 500
# define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 2
# else
# define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 199506L
# endif
#endif

* The second one is in file "/usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h" (line
942).
/* Define to activate features from IEEE Stds 1003.1-2001 */
#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200112L


So a quick fix is to set "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" in "/usr/include/python2.4/
pyconfig.h"
to be exactly the same as in your "/usr/include/features.h".

Really simple !!!

Anyway, It's Python bug which needs to be reported to the Python's
mailinglist. But It seems
that this affect only some Python versions.

cheers
