[Tiny-cobol-users] Problems compiling with libdb, again.

From: Rildo P. <ri...@pr...> - 2002-08-29 14:06:23

Hi all,

I found that trying to compile TC have some problems, at least
in my Slackware 8.0. Before patching it too much, I would ask
you (the other developers) what do you think if we include
db-1.85 source in our source tree, so the troubles with
configuration go away forever?

I choose version 1.85 because it is the only free version of this
library, and anyway we don't support the added features of the
other more recent releases of libdb.
This way, our configuration scripts become much more easy to maintain
and there will be no issues related to libdb anymore.

What do you think?

best regards,
Rildo

What kind of problems are you having ?

I am using  Slackware 7, which includes DB version 2.4.14, and I can 
configure and build, the CVS version I downloaded yesterday, with out 
any problems.

This may create more problems that it will solve, as many ditributions 
have more than one version of DB installed.

Hi David,

Here is the typescript of my session. (please see at the end)
Of course, I could create some headers and place libraries in convenient
locations, so the configure script will like that, but suppose I'm a simple
TC user, not a developer.

From the lack of the db_185.h file, I think you have DB version 4 installed
on your system.

Have you tries the above configure option ?

Note that you should remove the configure cache file './config.cache', as
it can cause problems.

Different distributions have multiple DB versions, consequently there is no
way that I know of, to cleanly resolve this problem.

I too have these problems, but with RH7.3.  Having source from another
project might solve our current troubles, but might cause others.  Two
of the same installed versions of libdb on one machine could be quite
messy.  Not that I have a better suggestion; that just seems very
inelegant.

In my point of view, include db-1.85 sources in source tree isn't a good idea so the libdb sources have a 272,892kb. The most dammaged is the dial-up concection user, like me and others. :(

For example: SourceNavigator(1), have a 15MB(in sources!), however, is included in your source tree the sources of libdb, grep, itcl, tcl8.1, tk8.1 and tix. If I remove this packages and compact again, the size of source navigator's package is 7MB. Again, the most dammaged is the dial-up connection user. :(

I don't think a good idea, so the user couldn't configure the libdb version. The current way is very good for me:

./configure --with-libdb=2 (To version 2 of libdb)
./configure --with-libdb=3 (To version 3 of libdb)
./configure --with-libdb=4 (To version 4 of libdb)

1) SourceNavigator.

Hi Rildo,

I have no problem with the Idea.
Just remember however that there are different versions we will need to
include depending on weather you are compiling for Linux or Cygwin or
Mingw32.
