  compiled lparser? (Message 1 to 6 of 6)

Hi!

I recently tried to compile the lparser written by Laurens Lapre which
can be found at 

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljlapre/

I have to this because I want to use it under Linux and maybe under IRIX
6.3.
I have serious problems compiling the source which shall be ANSI-C with
the gcc and even the cc from SGI.
I'm not at all experienced with C or the above named compilers but under
normal circumstances I know to use them or how to add a library or
include path.

Question:

Has anyone compiled lparser.c ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljlapre/source.zip
) already?

Thanks in advance,

Marc

Not yet, but hang on. I'm currently trying to get to grips with DJGPP and
RHIDE (for DOS). I will certainly try a compile today (although I'm off
now - buying a new PC :-))). If DJGPP works, other GCCs will work too.

I could use it. I installed a new game I had bought for my son (LEGO LOCO),
which (I thionk) thoroughly ruined my Win98 installation. I had to
re-install, but had problems, because the BIOS virus protection kept
interfering, but couldn't show any message (somehow the Win98 installer
didn't allow it). I finally found out and installed Win98 again. Now I
didn't install the game on my new computer anymore, only on the old one,
which my (6 year old) son will get now. I'm still using the old one now
(must transfer 6GB of data on two HD first).

But I know, I have a tendency to go off-topic (some people have others words
for that, having something to do with elder women <g>).

Now to get to the topic again: I tried the code, using the flags -ansi
and -pedantic and
-Wall and it threw out some warnings (some void routines do not have a void
declaration) but no error. I don't know anything about all the include
directories, but I think you'll have to at least set pointers to the lib and
include directories. Why don't you use RHIDE for Linux
(http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide-linux.html)? I use RHIDE for DOS and
it strongly resembles the old Borland IDEs for DOS (Turbo Pascal and Turbo
C++).

Giving your old one to your son. Well I just started to build up a
render farm. I got an old one from my sister in law (?) and I bought 2
NE2000 compatible cards for 30,- DM each and a cable a some smalll bits.
With linux I hope to connect them quite soon. If not for the speed then
for the fun of it!

As I said, I'am not at all very familiar with the gcc. I tried the -ansi
flag and now I try yours too. I heard about RHIDE. Mybe I download it, I
liked the Borland environment for Turbo Pascal.

Thanks Rudy for your efforts!

I worked! 

I learned just a tiny bit more about gcc!

I just had to add the math library.

Thanks for your help!
