Re: [Ekiga-devel-list] Build error with pwlib head and gcc-3.4.6

["Hawkins, William - AES" <Will Hawkins itt com>]

This may be a simple-minded suggestion, but have you tried linking with '-lpt' instead of '-lpt_linux_x86'? That seems to be the way PWLib is linked during the Ekiga compilation process. 

Sorry if this is something you already tried!

Hi,

 I try to build ekiga snapshot (from two days ago) and it failed when linking
a program. Building the pwlib library (and opal) reports no error, but failed on a
simple program like this:

      /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
      #ifdef __cplusplus
      extern "C"
      #endif
      /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
         builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
      char read ();
      int main ()
      {
        read ();
        return 0;
      }

I can build and link with gcc-4.1 from debian sid without problem, but i can't
upgrade my gcc. My c++ knownledges with pure and virtual fonctions is far from
good, but perhaps this link will help:

        http://centibyte.org/me/obscure-errors.html

I've try to find where the virtual function is missing but only correct the
first one with this patch:

And now i got this when linking the little program:

Any idea to fix the problem ?
