[Gate-users] Cannot compile ECAT7

[David Boersma]

Hi Michael,


I ran into that a while ago (for software testing purposes, not because I know anything about ECAT).

The code is extremely old and in order to make it compile with "too new" compilers you need a little hack in the Makefile. Replace the first noncomment line...


CC = cc


... by this:


CC = cc --std=gnu90


I *think* that this is all I needed to do to make this work (I'm a bit in a hurry, no time to test). I hope it works for you, too.


HTH,

David

Betreff: [Gate-users] Cannot compile ECAT7

Hi all,

When trying to make utility programs for ECAT in the 'utils' directory, I get the following output:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsocket
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:35: recipe for target 'matlist' failed
make: *** [matlist] Error 1

I can build the main library, but the utility programs as listed in the compilation instructions return this error.
Anybody have experience troubleshooting this issue?

Thanks!
Michael
