| 38 | <PRE>David, | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | Andrew confirmed that there are some bugs in ./configure which only | |
| 41 | surface if you're using a deprecated compiler. The IRC Services Coding | |
| 42 | list seems to have swallowed the remainder of the mails on the subject - | |
| 43 | i'm forwarding the most relevant one again. 5.0.24 has this problem, no | |
| 44 | matter how you came to it (either by patching from whatever version or | |
| 45 | by expanding the neat tarball). | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | The below patch fixes the problem for me, but it's completely unsupported | |
| 48 | of course - to apply it, copy the text starting at the line that begins | |
| 49 | 'diff -ur' through to just above my .sig - and paste it into a text file | |
| 50 | (making sure the lines don't wrap or anything). Save the file as | |
| 51 | ircservices-5.0.24-gccfix.patch or similar, and then apply to your 5.0.24 | |
| 52 | source tree with a: | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | cd /usr/local/src/ircservices-5.0.24 (or wherever it lives) | |
| 55 | patch -p1 < ~/ircservices-5.0.24-gccfix.patch (or wherever the patch is) | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | and then you should be able to configure; make; make install correctly. | |
| 58 | Or alternatively wait until the official fix in the next version :) | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | A. | |

| 71 | Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix of rogue unescaped backtick in configure in 5.0.24 | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | Hmm, turns out that I was a little premature in sending in that one-line | |
| 74 | patch - unless I'm completely missing something, the configure script | |
| 75 | doesn't actually end up setting the CC or DEF_CC_FLAGS variables after | |
| 76 | warning about deprecation. Not sure whether this is because the | |
| 77 | deprecation is being enforced more strongly than the warnings suggest, but | |
| 78 | I expanded the tweak to the following in order to get it to build | |
| 79 | sensibly. For what it's worth, gcc 2.95.4 has never presented any | |
| 80 | problems for me with ircservices (since 4.3.3 or so) - so perhaps it might | |
| 81 | also be considerable as 'officially supported' in addition to 2.95.3 and | |
| 82 | ><i>3.2? Debian stable has a fairly decent reputation, after all. | |
