[GRASS-user] cvs install problem

Francesco_Mirabella · June 22, 2006, 10:48am

Hi to all,
I have a problem with cvs installation, maybe is a silly one bua I'va
been struggling with this since yesterday...
I've downloaded, (I am on debian testing), run the ./configure (with
options) and than the make, but I get the following errors:

#####################################################################

I did what it is said, i.e. change into directory and run make and in
the dbf directory I get for example:

make: *** [/usr/local/cvs/grass6/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/driver/db/dbf]

Can anyone tell what libraries am I missing??

cheers,

Given the previous error building the sqlp library (lib/db/sqlp), the
fact that it can't find the sqlp library isn't particularly
surprising.

The error messages from trying to build lib/db/sqlp would be more
useful.

It seems that you have a unwanted file in that directory:

ls lib/db/sqlp/
alloc.c Makefile test
CVS OBJ.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu yac.y
description.html print.c y.output
lex.l README y.tab.c
lex.yy.c sql.c y.tab.h

-> btyaccpa.ske isn't there.
Maybe it's generated somehow on your machine, but try to remove
it and compile again.

My favourite search engine tells me that it is something like
"BtYacc: BackTracking Yacc"

Maybe Glynn has more insights how/why such file appears.
I have never seen it.

It seems that you have a unwanted file in that directory:

ls lib/db/sqlp/
alloc.c Makefile test
CVS OBJ.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu yac.y
description.html print.c y.output
lex.l README y.tab.c
lex.yy.c sql.c y.tab.h

-> btyaccpa.ske isn't there.
Maybe it's generated somehow on your machine, but try to remove
it and compile again.

My favourite search engine tells me that it is something like
"BtYacc: BackTracking Yacc"

Maybe Glynn has more insights how/why such file appears.
I have never seen it.

btyaccpa.ske is the skeleton (template) used to construct y.tab.c. The
generated y.tab.c will contain #line directives referring to
btyaccpa.ske, so this is the file which the C compiler reports in any
error messages, although the compiler is actually compiling y.tab.c.

The btyaccpa.ske file itself probably won't exist anywhere on the
user's system.

The main problem with BtYacc (a derivative of Berkeley yacc) is that
it generates C++ code, which will only work with a C++ compiler. The
cause of the specific error message cited above is that a structure is
declared using C++ syntax:

  struct yyparsestate {
  ...
    Yshort *ss; // state stack base
  ...
  };

and then a parameter is declared with type "yyparsestate *yyps"
(rather than "struct yyparsestate *yyps" which would be required in
C).

In short, BtYacc isn't suitable as a yacc implementation, but it
appears to be installed as "yacc". The BtYacc Makefile creates the
program with the name "btyacc", which wouldn't be a problem. Maybe the
OS vendor has decided to install the program (or a symlink to it) as
"yacc"?

The easiest solution is to install either bison or byacc (Berkeley
yacc). The configure macro AC_PROG_YACC first checks for bison, then
byacc. Only if neither bison nor byacc are found will it set YACC to
yacc (the macro doesn't check whether yacc actually exists; we do that
manually). So long as either bison or byacc are present, btyacc
shouldn't be used, and thus shouldn't cause problems.
