Re: [Botan-devel] Compiling problems

[Jack L. <ll...@ac...>]

GCC 2.95.x produces a lot of useless warnings when compiling Botan. You can
safely ignore these, it's just a stupid thing 2.95.x does. Also, the
message

es_egd ("EGD Entropy Source"): You might need to add -lsocket to LINK_TO in the Makefile

is not an error, just a note that on some systems the Unix socket routines
live in a separate library from the standard C library (for example,
Solaris is like this).

Doing a:

./configure.pl --module-set=unix --gcc295x gcc-linux-i586
make

should produce a real working library, just close your eyes and ignore
everything that gets printed to the screen. :)
