[info] Compilation problem on RH7 and gcc 2.96

Mon, 05 Feb 2001 21:48:08 -0800

I recently install RH7, and port my favourite development tree under ;-).

 

Install by default a strange version of gcc 2.96.4 (the so famous by RH).

 

And the result is :

 

Gcc don’t want to handle

 

#define  ENTRY(x)         .glob     EXT_C(x) ;  EXT_C(x)    ##  :

 

So in shared.h we have a warning message :

Shared.h:247:43 : warning  : nothing can be pasted after this token .

 

And the compilation chain crash !

 

So the winner is : R.Stallman, and it’s remarks on releasing a compiler version not fully test !

 

Sure not me ! I remember some similar problem with an other OS and its editor : let me remember …. Isn’t it M$ and “20 doses”  (in French) .

 

And what I will do in next days, shoot this distrib, and restart from an other one ! Some suggestions ?

 

( I currently use a French one : Mandrake witch install GRUB by default ). Some others ?
