[htdig] cannot compile 3.1.x on SGI

[Michiel v. R. <van...@ex...>]

Hi all,



I'm finally giving in. I've tried to compile htdig 3.1.2 thru 3.1.6 on an SGI running IRIX 6.5.22, and I can't get it to work.



I have gcc-3.3 installed (precompiled binaries from freeware.sgi.com). libstdc++ is there (according to SGI's "inst" anyway). I did read the FAQs. I tried with and without LD_RUN_DIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LDFLAGS, and several other options. I even looked into the "regex" problems that seem to have some folks in a bind. I cannot get past the ./configure step if I use gcc. It always ends with:



configure: error: To compile ht://Dig, you will need a C++ library. Try installing libstdc++.



libstdc++ is located in the "convenient" location /usr/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix6.5/3.3/.



However, if I use SGI's compilers, the configuration step works just fine (apparently anyway). It's when I try to run smake, make, or gmake that I run into this error:



cc-1174 cc: WARNING File = ./../db_stat/db_stat.c, Line = 14

  The variable "sccsid" was declared but never referenced.



  static const char sccsid[] = "@(#)db_stat.c   8.41 (Sleepycat) 10/3/98";

        CC -n32 -c  -DDEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE=\"/v2/w3c/htdig/conf/htdig.conf\" -I../htlib -I../htcommon  -I../db/dist -I../include -g Connection.cc

cc-1020 CC: ERROR File = htString.h, Line = 195

  The identifier "va_list" is undefined.



  extern char *vform(char *, va_list);

                             ^



1 error detected in the compilation of "Connection.cc".

*** Error code 2 (bu21)

*** Error code 1 (bu21)





This happens regardless of the htdig version I'm working on.



I've been digging through the sourceforge and geocrawler (where they still exist) messages trying to find any resolution to this, but have come up empty handed.



I'd try to install the SGI pre-compiled 3.1.6, except I don't have enough space on my system drive to carry the htdig databases. So far, I've been unable to determine how to have the software on one drive, and the database (common, conf, and db) on another drive. This is probably a separate issue, but it's the very reason I'm trying to compile and install to my own target directory.



Does anyone have a suggestion I can sink my teeth into?



Thanks,



   Michiel.
