Programming

hello all,

attached you can find a tool (written in C) that i really need to make it compile under linux
i am able to compile and run it successfully in mac os x, but in linux the compilation fails
the only thing that i did so far is to change the following
#include <sys/malloc.h> to <malloc.h>
but still the compilation fails :
"No rule to make target"

i would appreciate any suggestions on how i can overcome this
thank you

Is that really all it says? I get pages and pages of totally different errors here. Though that may have been because you sent it as zip, a format which mangles UNIX file permissions. Can you upload a tar of it?

Also, it says at the very top of the makefile:

Code:

# DO NOT USE MAKE TO COMPILE, please use createsim.

I'd suggest doing as it says. You'll need to install csh though.

thank you for your interest,
1. basically, i use "make all" to compile it and works just fine and (the runtime results are correct and have been verified) when i run this tool in mac os x
2. i also tried the tar.gz thing, but nothing changed

any suggestions please ?

I mean, I could use the .tar.gz.

And again, the makefile says not to use make. It wants you to run the included "./createsim" script.

These source files depend on lots of weird header files I've never heard of and I don't have, like _types.h.

ooo sorry i forgot to upload it in my previous thread

@Corona688: What the createsim script basically does ismeaning it's completely unnecessary.

@OneDreamCloser: apparently this piece of software requires an include file only found on BSD (MacOS X is a derived from that). Unless you find some compatibility libraries, you won't have any luck compiling it. And even then it might be doubtful if it uses proprietary Apple technology.

...seems doubtful considering one of the files it demands is /usr/include/i386/_structs.h Not apple-specific. All things considered I'm shocked it compiled on OSX at all.

If you can figure out what _types.h, etc are all doing, you may be able to find portable equivalents. This'd be porting the code, however, rewriting some things, not a simple conversion.
