[SIP-devel] building sip-dev-20031219 from sources

[DRUEL J. <joc...@li...>]

Hi,
I already tried several times to build SIP-dev from source, but I always gave 
up because of numerous errors.

Today, I took the time to try it harder.
I succeded but had several problems: here is what I had to do.

First, my configuration is: Debain Woody (stable release of debian) with 
kernel 2.4.18; gcc 2.95. Scilab is 2-6.
Due to long cycles in Debian development, some people could consider my 
packages as 'prehistorics' (but Debian seeks stability before all).

So I dowloaded the latest gandalf (1.3.2), animal (0.8.0) and sip (20031219).

I) gandalf compilation:
1) I had to install glutg3-dev (OpenGL develepoment libraries) anfd libtool. 
The debian installer  installed the other packages related to it.
2) ./configure, make, cd TestFrameWork, make, cd .., make install
causes no problem
3) I finished with libtool --finish /usr/local/lib

II) Animal compilation:
1) ./configure, make
error in animal/analysis.c line 786 (function edt_lz)
I solved by puttin the line int i; 
before assert(im->isbianry);
so that declaration of variables are at the beginning of the function.
2) make
This time the error is in src/plist.c lines 23 to 27.
Same soluce: I moved declarations of variables (q*, a, data) just after the 
declaration of the function main
3) make
Error in label_components.c, line 24
I solved by adding nhood nh*; at the beginning of main and transforming the 
line 24 in nh = get_8_nhood();
4) make
This time, it works !
5) make install

III) SIP compilation
1) configure, make
Error line 69 unsigned long npixels = rim*cim;

Again I put unsigned long npixels at the beginning then npixels = rim*cim;

This time it works
2) When I launched builder.sce from scilab, it told me that the SIMPLE 
toolbox was now installed: it shoumd be changed to SIP (idem with the path 
given: it is written /usr/lib/scilab/contrib/SIMPLE/loader.sce).

3) I launched exec(SIPDEMO) and tried the interferometry gui:
error: stacksize(3e7) cannot be used in this context.
I commented the line 37 of macros/interferometry_gui.dem and it worked fine.

4) I could finally enjoy the new SIP-dev version !
(but I had no time to test it fully yet)


Conclusion:
1) the problem was always of the same type: declaration must be made at the 
beginning for my compiler.
2) I send you my modified files
3) SIP is a great project 

Happy Christmas for everyone
Best regards
Jocelyn
