Hi Chuck,
Concerning HTML Tidy, not sure what you refer to when you say 'master.zip'?
What README?
The README is in the edbrowse directory created by the git-clone . It
says to retrieve
https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/archive/master.zip
We have just released 5.6.0, and that should be 5.6.0.zip, or if you want to
build from the repo -
$ git checkout master
$ git pull
and the version.txt file should contain 5.6.0, 2017.11.25, being the latest
release...
Not sure how to get the 5.6.0 package from the above.
But concerning your problem, not sure I really have the answer, but cmake
should be able to find a working cxx/cpp compiler in your system...
My cmake 3.2.2 in Ubuntu linux, 14.04 shows "Check ... /usr/bin/c++ --
works"...
Actually tidy does not require cxx/cpp - it is a pure C project - and you
could add this to the CMakeLists.txt, like change the line -
project (${LIB_NAME})
to
project (${LIB_NAME} C)
And that will tell cmake to ONLY look for a C compiler... and might get tidy
5.6.0 built...
But you will still need a cxx/cpp compiler for 'edbrowse', since it likewise
has only cmake 'project (edbrowse)', in its CMakeLists.txt, which without the
[LANGUAGE] option will likewise try to test both C and CXX by default,
whether actually needed or not...
The real question is why is your Debian sid failing on this most basic of
cmake tests? A cxx/cpp compiler should be installed...
Well actually it is installed at /usr/bin/cpp, which is a symlink to
cpp-7 in the same directory. But that produced the error when
attempting to compile the test program. The error said the option -c
was not recognized by the preprocessor. .
I hope others can address that...
HTH, Geoff.
Thanks for your response ... I'm not sure I'm quite up to this.
