help new to linux compileing

[Angelox]

This is good stuff, thanks for clearing this topic out for me, I've searched, but never got this far.
My newest distro will not let me uninstall the latest GCC, as it says it's used for other compiles and would break too much. I've gotten away with installing multiple versions of GCC or for the user only.
This is much better and should solve a lot.

It's not listed here, but malloc() is also in the <cstdlib> library.

So, in short, just add an #include <cstdlib> at the beginning of common/dbcore.cpp, common/EQPacket.cpp, and any other files that give those kinds of errors and you should be good. Imo, I think it might be a good idea to get this ultimately updated into the source, as well as resolve any other incompatibilities between 4.1 & 4.3.

Hope this helps.

I wonder if anyone might know what or why the cause for this. I tried other versions of gcc with the same results, and this only happens on on of my pcs, and even will sometimes go through with the compile.

../common/crc32.cpp:106:2: warning: #warning "Comment out i386 define if your arch isn't x86"
../common/crc32.cpp: In static member function ‘static uint32 CRC32::Update(const int8*, uint32, uint32)’:
../common/crc32.cpp:239: error: PIC register ‘bx’ clobbered in ‘asm’
make: *** [../common/crc32.o] Error 1

Here's two ways to use other versions of gcc (have to install them first);

#cd /usr/bin
#unlink gcc
#ln -sf gcc-VERSIONTHATYOUWANT gcc

Or use EXPORT

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4

I think you got your reply cut in half - happened to me on this very same thread

Yeah, lol. Let's try this again...

Teh intertubes indicates it's an issue specific to GCC 3.4. This is the suspect code:

__asm __volatile (
		"xorl	%%ebx, %%ebx\n"
		"movl	%1, %%esi\n" 
		"movl	%2, %%ecx\n" 
		"movl	$CRC32Table, %%edi\n"
		"shrl	$2, %%ecx\n"
		"jz	1f\n"

		".align 4\n"
		"0:\n"
		"movb	%%al, %%bl\n"
		"movl	(%%esi), %%edx\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%eax\n"
		"xorb	%%dl, %%bl\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%edx\n"
		"xorl	(%%edi,%%ebx,4), %%eax\n"

		"movb	%%al, %%bl\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%eax\n"
		"xorb	%%dl, %%bl\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%edx\n"
		"xorl	(%%edi,%%ebx,4), %%eax\n"

		"movb	%%al, %%bl\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%eax\n"
		"xorb	%%dl, %%bl\n"
		"movb	%%dh, %%dl\n" 
		"xorl	(%%edi,%%ebx,4), %%eax\n"

		"movb	%%al, %%bl\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%eax\n"
		"xorb	%%dl, %%bl\n"
		"addl	$4, %%esi\n"
		"xorl	(%%edi,%%ebx,4), %%eax\n"

		"decl	%%ecx\n"
		"jnz	0b\n"

		"1:\n"
		"movl	%2, %%ecx\n"
		"andl	$3, %%ecx\n"
		"jz	2f\n"

		"movb	%%al, %%bl\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%eax\n"
		"xorb	(%%esi), %%bl\n"
		"xorl	(%%edi,%%ebx,4), %%eax\n"

		"decl	%%ecx\n"
		"jz	2f\n"

		"movb	%%al, %%bl\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%eax\n"
		"xorb	1(%%esi), %%bl\n"
		"xorl	(%%edi,%%ebx,4), %%eax\n"

		"decl	%%ecx\n"
		"jz	2f\n"

		"movb	%%al, %%bl\n"
		"shrl	$8, %%eax\n"
		"xorb	2(%%esi), %%bl\n"
		"xorl	(%%edi,%%ebx,4), %%eax\n"
	"2:\n"
		:
		: "a" (val), "g" (buf), "g" (bufsize)
		: "bx", "cx", "dx", "si", "di"
	);
	
	return val;
}

My only recommendation if it's happening with multiple versions of GCC is to completely get rid of them, then start over from scratch, since it looks like there's something from 3.4 that's getting shared w/ everything else.

for some strange reason my database is throwing wobblies about the atoi not being declared in the scope. Am i doing something wrong or is it a programing error?

[Angelox]

That's just the newer version GCC you are using. I just tried something on this newer OS I have, since it gave me an assortment of errors, which most point to same two references (after Googling) -
In every error you see, for example you get an error in 'EQPacket.cpp' open the file up and add these two lines(might be better to add to *.h files) ;

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>

It will be either one or the other, so I always added both.
I had to do this to around 20 files, so it takes a while.
Then finally I got a big 'zone.o' error , which I fixed by adding -fpermissive to WFLAGS in makefiles for zone.
After that it all compiled.
