Subject: Re: PPR: Compliling on RedHat 7.0
After I sent out the message, I realized I was being tremendously
vague. I actually do have these rpms installed:
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
glibc-2.2-12
glibc-common-2.2-12
libstdc++-devel-2.96-54
gcc-2.96-54
My compile errors happen in:
snprintf.c: In function `dopr':
snprintf.c:294: `short int' is promoted to `int' when passed through `...'
snprintf.c:294: (so you should pass `int' not `short int' to `va_arg')
snprintf.c:306: `short unsigned int' is promoted to `int' when passed through `...'
snprintf.c:318: `short unsigned int' is promoted to `int' when passed through `...'
snprintf.c:332: `short unsigned int' is promoted to `int' when passed through `...'
make[1]: *** [snprintf.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/root/ppr-1.42/libgu'
make: *** [all] Error 1
I have looked briefly at the code and changed the definition from
'short unsigned int' to just plain 'int' in the function calls. This seems
okay because it was another option in the case statement ( Original='-->'
Modified='*->'). It compiled happily. I am just now trying to see if it
works.
This is part of a case statement in the snprintf.c file (originating
at line 293):
if (cflags == DP_C_SHORT)
- --> value = va_arg (args, short int);
else if (cflags == DP_C_LONG)
value = va_arg (args, long int);
else if (cflags == DP_C_LLONG)
value = va_arg (args, LLONG);
else
*-> value = va_arg (args, int);
Thank you,
Benjamin
