#868 Error while building bundled SIP: "sipWrapperType... has no member named ‘wt_td"

[Eyal Rozenberg]

I'm trying to build Tulip 5.0.0 from (Sourceforce) sources. During build, I get:

My system is Linux Mint 18.2 on x86_64 hardware.

Hi Eyal,

I did not manage to reproduce your build issue on Linux Mint 18.2 x86_64.

My guess is that something went wrong when configuring the SIP tool bundled with the Tulip source. You should check if there is a "sip.h" file in the following directory: /usr/local/src/tulip-5.0.0/build/thirdparty/sip-4.19.1/siplib/ . If it is not present, the "sip.h" file installed on your system is used instead and as the version mismatch the one we are using in Tulip, the compilation fails.

Maybe you should try to compile Tulip from your home folder instead.

So, a sip.h does exist in the directory you mentioned. So maybe the issue is with setting the include directory order?

Here are all of the sip.h's on my system:

/usr/include/python2.7/sip.h
/usr/include/python2.7_d/sip.h
/usr/local/src/tulip-5.0.0/build/thirdparty/sip-4.19.1/siplib/sip.h
/usr/local/src/tulip-5.0.0/thirdparty/sip-4.19.1/sipgen/sip.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-91-generic/include/config/ip/vs/pe/sip.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-91-generic/include/config/nf/conntrack/sip.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-91-generic/include/config/nf/nat/sip.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.8.0-36-generic/include/config/ip/vs/pe/sip.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.8.0-36-generic/include/config/nf/conntrack/sip.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.8.0-36-generic/include/config/nf/nat/sip.h

and at least the first one doesn't have a wt_td member.

This is definitely a include directory order issue but that's weird as we already took care of including the correct include path for sip.h prior to other include paths in the compiler command line (see line 9 in thirdparty/sip-4.19.1/siplib/CMakeLists.txt).

You can check the gcc commands issued by running 'make VERBOSE=1'. Maybe we could spot an issue here ?
