ASSS Questions - contrib/ compile problems i88gerbils - Sun Jan 16, 2005 6:32 pm Post subject: contrib/ compile problems
This isn't 1.3.5 specific, but I had the same problem in 1.3.2. Everything compiles except for the files in contrib/. Funnily enough, it doesn't give any compile errors, it just doesn't compile.
Ah. Remembered what it was now... The compile line for those files doesn't have a -o option, so no object file was being created. Since I haven't seen anybody else with this problem it must be something wierd with my system? In any case, the fix is to include the -o option manually (and maybe even copy those object files out of the source directory for safekeeping).

Might not be just you. I know I've never tried compiling them.

Edit: Sorry, Grel phrased it better I guess.

Let me rephrase what I said.
I have never checked to see if the contrib files were built. If, as you say, no errors are generated, I wouldn't have noticed that they didn't compile.
I've never been 100% sure that grel keeps those sources up to date with the interface changes (and I'm too lazy to check) so I don't even use them for reference if I can avoid it.

I'd certainly better keep them up to date, since they get compiled every time I type make.

I notice some stuff (in contrib?) gets compiled/linked when I type make install, but not when I type make. (I edited my makefile so just make doesn't do the install bit too).
