I used to code some stuff for gnumeric. lately I don't have much time for that and when I do I usually just waste that time trying to get gnumeric to compile. For example in the moment I am stuck at: checking for dlfcn.h... yes checking for g++... no checking for c++... no checking for gpp... gpp checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no checking whether gpp accepts -g... no checking dependency style of gpp... none checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. This is on a quad opteron with a pretty recent debian sid AMD64 installation. And of course does it have the GNU C++ compiler, in fact gcc 3.3, gcc 3.4 and gcc 4.0 with gcc being really gcc 4.0. Now, if I run autogen as: aguelzow opteron:/var/development/aguelzow/gnome-cvs/gnumeric$ GCC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr then it just croaks a few moments later: checking for dlfcn.h... yes checking for g++... no checking for c++... no checking for gpp... gpp checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no checking whether gpp accepts -g... no checking dependency style of gpp... none checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. :-( Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J.
