>I am compiling tiff 3.30beta ALPHA 002 on a DECStation running Ultrix 4.2a. Me too. > ... >When I go to compile libtiff with the bundled C compiler (cc -V reports: >Mips Computer Systems 2.10), it chokes and dies with errors. I build the library no problem on Ultrix 4.2a using Decs "c89" compiler. That's the full ansi compiler that you get with their c++ system. I just tried building using "cc". First try, tons of errors. I just added "-Dconst= " to the CFLAGS and all of the errors went away. >It struck me as odd that the MIPS compiler on the SGI should work, but >the one on the DECStation should not. Anyone have any clues? Yes, 3.3 expects an ansi compiler. >I see three ways to address my problem: >1. Put up with the slightly pessimal gcc code. >2. Modify libtiff to compile under whatever old MIPS compiler my >DECStation has. Just a matter of -Dconst= in the Makefile >3. Get a newer version of gcc (the current version is gcc version >cygnus-2.3.3-930417) and 11 months is a LONG time for gcc improvements.) 4. get c89 from dec. (Not necessarily the best option, since they charge for it.) Dan McCoy Pixar mccoy@pixar.com
