[bh_hensem@yahoo_com]

hi,

I am using Digital Unix machine which are -
> uname -a
OSF1 alpha.my.com V4.0 1229 alpha


As your information, Previously, I have tried to install the subversion in our machine but I got an error and the error message are :-

checking for stdint.h... (cached) no
checking for pipe... yes
checking for isatty... yes
checking for usleep... yes
checking for shutdown... yes
checking for time_t... yes
checking size of time_t... 4
checking how to print time_t... d
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
checking whether strerror_r is declared... no
checking for strerror_r... yes

checking for trio_vsnprintf in -ltrio... no
configure: no vsnprintf/snprintf detected in C library
configure: error: Install the trio library from http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/trio/
configure failed for neon

Then, based on the error message, I tried to installed the trio library, but I also got some error message, which are :-

> make
gcc -g -O2 -ieee -DDEBUG -c triostr.c -o triostr.o
gcc -g -O2 -ieee -DDEBUG -c trio.c -o trio.o
gcc -g -O2 -ieee -DDEBUG -c trionan.c -o trionan.o
trionan.c:89: #error "Must be compiled with option -mieee"
make: *** [trionan.o] Error 1

I do not know what the error message is ?
Could somebody hlep me how to solved it ?


Thank you,

hi...i'm sorry that no one has been able to answer your question...

i don't have any experience with digital unix systems, and i hear that
there isn't much support for these systems anymore - i could be wrong
on that...

have you contacted the svn folks for help?...is this the only machine
you have available for your subversion needs?

hi,

Then, based on the error message, I tried to installed the trio library, but I also got some error message, which are :-

> make
gcc -g -O2 -ieee -DDEBUG -c triostr.c -o triostr.o
gcc -g -O2 -ieee -DDEBUG -c trio.c -o trio.o
gcc -g -O2 -ieee -DDEBUG -c trionan.c -o trionan.o
trionan.c:89: #error "Must be compiled with option -mieee"
make: *** [trionan.o] Error 1

I do not know what the error message is ?

This message means that the trio library wants to be compiled with the "-mieee" switch to gcc.
The Makefile gives the "-ieee" switch to gcc (the difference is in the single "m" ;) ).

The Makefile is created by the "configure" script, and you should give the ./configure some arguments in the command line, or set environment variables (for example, with the env command) in order it invoke the gcc with correct switches.

./configure --help
will give you a list of all possible options.

The last resort is to modify the generated Makefile manually in order to suit your system (possibly, simply add "m" to the variable containing the compiler switches).

And the very last resort could be editing the trio. File trionan.c, line 89 as said in the error message.
