Fedora 10 Compiles - What It Took

[Kilralpine]

Okay, finally I got bored and decided to come back to the eqemu community to fool around with my server again (icelance). When I had my server stable and running last-time it was running on Debian. I attempted last time to run on Fedora 10 but got choked up when it came to all the compile Errors... This time I have successfully been able to compile with Fedora 10 and I will list here the steps I took.

----------------------------

#1 - Uninstall GCC - Yum remove GCC____

#2 - Be Sure To Visit The Wiki And Install All of The Compile Tools They Have Listed - If you Cannot Find One, Look It Up AS AN .RPM And Get It Installed! (rpmfind.net works well) - If you cannot find them, check to see if you do not already have them installed... Fedora 10 comes with 2-3, Or at least my release did

#3 - Find a GCC-4.1.2 download and install it

#4 - Find a G++ .rpm installer and Install It! For Fedora .rpm packages Gcc412 will not include G++
***(I was able to yum install gcc-c++)***

#5 MAKE SURE you have installed all of the PerlExt
***(I was able to do this with yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed)***

---------------------------------

Have you tried 11? I've been running on FC8 for a couple of years and was considering going to 11.

I had no problems compiling under Fedora 10 using the gcc 4.3.2-7 Fedora package set. If you are using 64bit, you do have to remove or change the -march=i686 compile flag in the makefiles.

What version of gcc were you using to begin with that gave you all the compile errors? Are you running a 32bit or 64bit system?

[Kilralpine]

im running a 32 bit system; both before and after

Another thing that I did to get it to compile correctly was this:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

If you had not done this first, then it's very possible the compile errors were due to missing header files or libraries (or possibly even the compiler itself).

You never did tell me which version of gcc you were using when you got the compile errors.

Also, now I'm curious what kind of errors you were getting. Do you have any examples? Thanks.

Also, could you run:

gcc --version

and

g++ --version

and post the output here? I'm curious what versions actually are installed on your system now given the steps you took in the first post.

I managed to blow up my fedora install :(... wont go into great detail how but ill tell you it wasnt very hard lol. Sorry about that

[gaeorn]

No problem. If you try again, try just the 'yum groupinstall Development' and then try to compile the server. See if that works for you or not.
