I believe the situation that is causing the error has to do with GCC's FORTIFY_SOURCE. I'm building under CentOS 5.2 using the 1.3 src.rpm available on the website:
% gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../tools/opari/lib -I../extlib/otf/otflib -I../extlib/otf/otflib -D_GNU_SOURCE -DBINDIR=\"/usr/bin\" -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share\" -DRFG -DVT_MEMHOOK -DVT_IOWRAP -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -MT vt_iowrap.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/vt_iowrap.Tpo -c -o vt_iowrap.o vt_iowrap.c vt_iowrap.c:1242: error: expected declaration specifiers or β...β before numeric constant vt_iowrap.c:1243: error: conflicting types for β__fprintf_chkβ % (compile fails) I cd into the appropriate area, and re-run the gcc without -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2: % gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../tools/opari/lib -I../extlib/otf/otflib -I../extlib/otf/otflib -D_GNU_SOURCE -DBINDIR=\"/usr/bin\" -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share\" -DRFG -DVT_MEMHOOK -DVT_IOWRAP -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -MT vt_iowrap.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/vt_iowrap.Tpo -c -o vt_iowrap.o vt_iowrap.c % (compile succeeds) If I change the spec file to remove the -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE define from RPM_OPT_FLAGS (like what is done for non-gcc compilers) the build succeeds. It appears that the additional define is more strict and causes problems when the default RPM build environment is kept intact. -- Jonathan Billings <jonathan.billi...@umich.edu> The College of Language, Science, and the Arts LS&A IT - Research Systems and Support
