Question ID: 543081

I want to be able to compile and link a program called ACCPM. You can find it on the web at: http://www.hec.unige.ch/professeurs/VIAL_Jean-Philippe/pages_web/accpm/index.html along with a user's guide which includes instructions for making it work. If you can get either the Windows Visual C++ or Linux version compiled and linked with any of the examples and walk me through a more detailed process than is given in the user's guide it would be a sufficient answer. If you decide to use Linux please use either use Knoppix 3.9 because it is what is at my disposal, or give me a good reason why I should download and use another distro for this problem.
Request for Question Clarification by maniac-ga on 16 Jul 2005 21:22 PDT Hello Wallygato, The library that efn refers to is part of a package named "f2c" (to convert fortran to c). It may be that part of the object files in the ACCPM library require that package. Please check (your directory)/mkhosts/libf2c.a which should be a library for f2c, suitable for building the applications. As the README indicates, modify the line in (your directory)mkhosts/linux that reads LF77=/usr/lib/libf2c.a to something like (your directory)/mkhosts/libf2c.a and rerun the make all command in the top level directory. [alas - I do not have a copy of Knoppix and my Linux box is currently in pieces so I cannot try what I described above. If this works (or not), please let me know so I can follow up with a more proper answer] --Maniac

Request for Question Clarification by maniac-ga on 17 Jul 2005 19:45 PDT Hello Wallygato, Hmm. An error like this one... ... : undefined reference to `operator new[](unsigned)' means that the command used to compile a C application was used to compile a C++ application. Checking the lines above, we see... make "CXX=gcc" "CC=cc" "F77=fort77" which implies the use of gcc to compile C++ applications. Checking the g++ man page at http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/g++.1.html it notes in part... g++ is a script to call gcc with options to recognize C++ Try changing the line in mkhosts/linux from CXX= gcc to CXX=g++ and run make again. --Maniac

Request for Question Clarification by maniac-ga on 18 Jul 2005 20:24 PDT Hello Wallygato, Hmm. Please try nm libcpm/libACCPM.a \| grep CPM_oracle [or CPM_build_cut] or strings libcpm/libACCPM.a \| grep CPM_ and you should find that those symbols are defined in the library file libACCPM.a. If you confirm this, the question then becomes why the command lines you refer to don't work. One possibility is that the archive provided does not have a proper symbol table. The error that CPM_Oracle cannot refer to CPM_build_cut (both are in the archive) makes this likely. Try either: cd libcpm cp libACCPM.a libACCPM.keep ranlib libACCPM.a or cd libcpm cp libACCPM.a libACCPM.keep ar -s libACCPM.a [the cp command is "just in case" there is a problem...] Then try the makefile again. --Maniac
Clarification of Question by wallygato-ga on 19 Jul 2005 16:25 PDT typing "nm libcpm/libACCPM.a \| grep CPM_" produces this output. All of CPM_build_cut, CPM_oracle and CPM_coordinator appear in the output. However a function called CPM_oracle is also present in every examples oracle.c file if that is of any help. both of the suggested approaches do not reduce the number of error messages or produce different ones.

It looks like the library depends on a Fortran library that is not
supplied in the distribution.  So this appears to be more a problem of
finding software than a problem of building the supplied software.
