1. v.4 on OpenSuse
Hi
Downloaded latest source from sourcefourge and compiled on OpenSuse 10.2.
It's working but I had some problems.
Since it was a zipped tar I didn't think any switches were required to preserve
directories, and that appeared to be correct.
I couldn't find instructions in the download, so I read the makefile that led me
to run configure first. Are the instructions somewhere else? There appeared to be
several makefiles, so I was guessing.
'configure' ran fine.
'make' then produced a lot of errors because various .c files in directories
intobj, backobj and transobj looked for /include/euphoria.h, which didn't exist.
euphoria.h was in the main installation sub-directory. There were no 'include'
directories anywhere, but other sub-directories had been unzipped/untarred.
Because there were a lot of files with this 'include' reference, I simply
created include directories in each of the calling sub-directories and put a copy
of euphoria.h in each, but obviously this is not optimal.
This seems to work, but I've only run 'hello world' so far. It's getting late.
Did I do something wrong?
Cheers

Can you tell me where you downloaded the sources from? Do you mean checked them
out from svn? The easiest way to get up and going w/4.0 would probably be to:
cd /opt
svn co http://rapideuphoria.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rapideuphoria/trunk
euphoria
wget http://jeremy.cowgar.com/eubins/eu40-694.tar.gz
tar xzf eu40-694.tar.gz
mv eu40-694/* bin
export EUDIR=`pwd`
export PATH=`pwd`/bin:$PATH
cd source
make
cp ecu ecu.a exu eubackend ../bin
I think that should have it.

No, I think you found a bug. There have been some changes to the way the
inclusion of euphoria.h has been handled, and I don't think the source
package has been fixed.
Thanks for the report.

Hi Jeremy
I've noted Matt's response but will complete the report just in case.
I browsed to the sourceforge site and clicked through Download/Browse all
files.. which presented 3 options, one of which was labelled:
'source r523 May 28, 2008'
which was the most recent date and the only one labelled as 'source', so I
guessed it was the one.
I'm actually just assuming that this is v.4, based on the date. I can't access
the Internet in linux so I can't check that now.
Assuming that my present set-up is working correctly, is there any manual
manipulation of the environment required? I already put a hard link to exu in one
of the folders in the path, which seemed to work. I'm not experienced with EUDIR
- should I do something with that?
Cheers

Peter,
So much has changed since then, I really would not bother. We are on r701 now. I
forget what 523 looked like at all, sorry. We will be releasing the first alpha
very soon, that may be of interest to you as well.
If you wish to build from sources, then I would recommend the current trunk as I
described in my previous post. I would not recommend continuing with r523. Sorry.

No problem, Jeremy. I wanted to build from sources to learn how to do it, what
are the problems, etc, maybe work on the surce in the future. It was wothwhile
exercise. I'll give it another go with the alpha. Thanks for assistance.
Peter
