On Mac OS X 10.0.4, the core system is Darwin 1.3.7, and GCC is this
version:
bash-2.05$ cc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/2.95.2/specs
Apple Computer, Inc. version gcc-926, based on gcc version 2.95.2 19991024
(release)
I ran into a problem compiling wget-1.7:
cc -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSYSTEM_WGETRC=\"/usr/local/etc/wgetrc\"
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -g -O2 -c html-parse.c
html-parse.c: In function `advance_declaration':
html-parse.c:449: character constant too long
html-parse.c:449: parse error before character constant
html-parse.c:449: stray '\' in program
html-parse.c:454: character constant too long
html-parse.c:461: character constant too long
html-parse.c:472: character constant too long
html-parse.c:481: character constant too long
html-parse.c:481: character constant too long
html-parse.c:481: stray '\' in program
html-parse.c:773: Unterminated string constant
make[1]: *** [html-parse.o] Error 1
make: *** [src] Error 2
The real problem is with line 435 of html-parse.c:
assert (ch == '\'' || ch == '"');
For some reason, Apple's GCC does not like the '"' in its assert().
There are two different ways to fix this:
1) change '"' to '\"', which is also legal ANSI C.
2) CPPFLAGS="-traditional-cpp" ./configure
I haven't gotten an answer from Apple in any of their forums on why
assert() breaks so badly. Comments and suggestions are welcome (please
CC me any messages, as I'm not subscribed to any Wget mailing list).
Thanks in advance.
