[Visualpython-users] compile / rebuild-problems under Linux.

[Terje K. <te...@ma...>]

  hi all.

  first of all, this installation is being done under Suse 7.1, with
  all dependencies met. I've googled, search the archives and read the
  faq, but the installation still breaks. 'rpm -v --rebuild
  visual-2001.10.15-3.src.rpm' ends up with the following error:

g++ -g -I. -I./CXX/Include -I/usr/include/python2.1 -I/usr/include/python2.1/Numeric `gtk-config --cflags gtk gthread` -w   -c -o cvisual.o cvisual.cpp

make: *** [cvisual.o] Error 1

  I looked at the define on line 26, which is:

#define CALLF(what) Object what(const Tuple& args, const Dict& kwargs) {  \
      return ::what(args,kwargs); \
    }

  now, my C++ skills aren't what they might have been, but it looks
  okay to me. well, ugly, but okay. 'g++ --version' gives me 2.95.2,
  which I take to be a stable gcc release. 

  if anyone have any good idea on how to make this work I'd be
  thrilled. and please CC me answers, I'm not on the list. :)
