compiling ECL

sirmarcos wrote on Dec 07, 2006

Hello,

I have the ecl installed with the installer fine on my MacOS X ibook. I was trying to build it for personal install on a suse system that I have little admin control over and thus was trying to follow the instructions here:

http://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/web/new_stuff/ecl_beta.html

So, expand the source, and setenv IRAFARCH and iraf properly but I get a host of errors.

I then tried to compile it my venerable OS X system following the same instructions but setting IRAFARCH to macosx and iraf to /iraf/iraf ... so there's no doubt about the arch or the files... and

Am I doing something incredibly naive? The instructions indicate the mkpkg line is run from the command line.. but I also tried it from within the cl and the same problems arise. I'm running 2.12.2a on suse and just 2.12.2 on MacOS X (PPC)

GCC was 4.01 on the Mac, and it's 4.02 on SuSe.... I can gcc_select to 3.3 on OS X but then it gets even worse with more errors....

Of course, the real goal is to install ecl on the suse machine which I don't have admin or iraf privileges on.. .but the os x compile problems are a mystery too.

You're not doing anything wrong, this is why we have V2.13. The GCC 4 compilers as well as some OS changes that perennially seem to break the <varargs.h> stuff in the system means that V2.12.2 won't build on newer machines and newer compilers. This has been fixed in V2.13 of course.
