Hi,
When compiling on Solaris using gcc 10, I am getting this error:
/usr/gcc/10/bin/gcc ... -o gvim ...
ld: fatal: symbol 'longVersion' is multiply-defined:
(file objects/version.o type=OBJT; file objects/main.o type=OBJT);
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
link.sh: Linking failed
I have produced pre-processed sources (gcc -E) and grepped them for
'longVersion' string:
main.E:void init_longVersion(void);
main.E: char *longVersion = <-------------------
main.E: init_longVersion();
main.E: mch_errmsg(longVersion);
main.E: init_longVersion();
main.E: mch_msg(longVersion);
version.E:void init_longVersion(void);
version.E:extern char *longVersion ;
version.E:char *longVersion = "VIM - Vi IMproved " "8" "." "2" " (" "2019 Dec
12" ")"; <------
version.E:init_longVersion(void)
version.E: init_longVersion();
version.E: msg(longVersion);
Looking in the sources my feeling is that longVersion should be defined
in version.c and only declared (using 'extern') in main.c.
Looking into pre-processed main.c I can see:
char *longVersion =
# 1336 "globals.h" 3 4
((void *)0)
And looking at globals.h line 1336:
1335 #else
1336 EXTERN char *longVersion INIT(= NULL);
1337 #endif
If I replace that line with
extern char *longVersion;
I can compile vim just fine. This does not seem to be something solaris
specific, so I have feeling that I am missing something ...
Thanks for VIM!
