Re: [COOT] Anyone got Coot to build on Fedora 12?

[Kevin Cowtan]

Yes, but that means I have to mess with the build script. Given that I'm 
doing multiple nightly builds across multiple platforms using the build 
script from cvs, that's a problem. (Possible, but hard - and need to 
check it doesn't break the other builds.)

If there is anyway of doing it by messing with the setup of the F12 
virtual machine, that would make life a lot easier.

Ah - looking at the patch again, I might get away with setting $CPP to 
cpp -P in the .bashrc for the F12 machine. Will try that next.

I keep running into the c preprocessor problem when building guile 
listed here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/guile-de...@gnu.org/msg04783.html

It seems to be specific to Fedora's gcc 4.2.2, not to the upstream 
version. I tried using mcpp ( with ln -s /usr/bin/mccp 
/usr/local/bin/cpp ), but got the same result.

Is there any way to downgrade to a pre-F12 gcc?

The patch in the thread did the trick:
