Compile problem fob 0.4.2 on Ubuntu 9.10 32

[Harvey King]

Dear all:

I am on Ubuntu 9.10 32bit, downloaded the latest JMF, Java, and fobs4jmf.
I followed the instruction in INSTALL file to the letter.

Yet, when I execute buildFobs.sh, I encountered the following compile errors:

‘::abs’ has not been declared
‘strcpy’ was not declared in this scope
‘memset’ was not declared in this scope
‘memcpy’ was not declared in this scope

what am I missing here?

i'm having the exact same problems. It's within core/Decoder.cpp.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit. ffmpeg included compiled like breeze.

If you have already found a solution, let me know.

Problem is with that since gcc 4.3 (began in ubuntu from 8.10) the header files of stdc++ have been cleaned up.  To fix this you can open each .cpp file and edit it to include the required files:

*printf:
#include <cstdio>

abs:
#include <cstdlib>

str*, mem*:
#include <cstring>

etc.

Clearly this project is not active.  I wish it was.

I use
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <string.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <alloca.h>
#include <cstdlib>
