Compiling with libc5

1998-11-25 Thread XRD Lab
Hi, As suggested I installed altgcc package and still could not compile the program. The compiler complains about the undefined size of a variable. I traced this to struct fd_set. The following code compiles on a bo box, but not on a hamm box. #include #include int main(void) { struct fd_set

Hi, I wanted to compile a program on my hamm machine and ran into some problems. I found that the reason for the errors were due to libc5 dependency of the program. I installed libc5-altdev package and tried to compile the program with the following command line: gcc -nostdinc -I/usr/i486-lin

I have upgraded my system to libc6 with not much troubles. Now, it seems that some programs have to be compiled under libc5 anyway. Therefore altgcc and altdev-libc5 have been loaded into the system. Now i need some documentation about how to instruct 'make' to use the alternative environment. Is

Hi Rick - I am *not* an expert on this, but I've asked about this stuff a little before. :-) The altdev packages are intended to coexist with libc6-dev, in the way the regular libc5-dev packages cannot. So do keep that libc6-dev. 'Altgcc' is the compiler package intended to compile with libc5

I know we've gone to libc6, but I'm not quite clear on how to compile with libc5 instead. I know I need libc5-altdev. Do I need to remove libc6-dev, which also requires removal of libg++272-dev? And do I need to install anything else? I'm getting some strange errors compiling development versi
