[Palm-db-tools-list] Compiling palm-db-tools v0.3.5 for linux

[Jos D. <jo...@tu...>]

Hi all,

I tried to ./configure & make palm-db-tools v. 0.3.5, and found that, on a
linux machine (fairly standard SuSE 7.3 installation, nothing fancy), it
doesn't work at all just out-of-the-tar.

The problems that I ran into (and fixed):

configure doesn't have execute permission
Many files end in CR/LF (ms-dos style), making, among others, scripts fail
gui/q/Makefile.in doesn't exist

That at least allowed me to run make. But then make dies in
palm-db-tools/libsupport/, with:

    g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -ansi -pedantic -g -O2 -Wall -Werror
    -Wp,-MD,.deps/csvfile.pp -c csvfile.cpp  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/csvfile.lo
    cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors
    csvfile.cpp: In function `void DataFile::CSVFile::write(ostream &, const PalmLib::FlatFile::Database &, const DataFile::parsing_state &)':
    csvfile.cpp:120: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
    csvfile.cpp:126: no matching function for call to `vector<PalmLib::FlatFile::Field,allocator<PalmLib::FlatFile::Field> >::at (int &) const'
    csvfile.cpp:130: no matching function for call to `vector<PalmLib::FlatFile::Field,allocator<PalmLib::FlatFile::Field> >::at (int &) const'
    make[2]: *** [csvfile.lo] Error 1

And as I don't speak C++, I'm afraid I can't solve this one.

Anyone?

Cheers,

Jos
