zsnes fails to build

Falcata · 2008-04-02 10:40:52

I tried building zsnes a moment ago, and it failed with this output:

In file included from tools/strutil.cpp:23:
tools/strutil.h: In static member function 'static int ci_char_traits::compare(const char*, const char*, size_t)':
tools/strutil.h:34: error: 'strncasecmp' was not declared in this scope
make: *** [tools/strutil.o] Error 1
==> ERROR: Build Failed.

gcc-4.3 cleaned up the C++ header files. It looks like tools/strutils.h needs an "#include <cstring>" or possibly and "#include <cstdlib>" added to the top. It will take a while for the PKGBUILDs to all be updated.

New Error:

tools/depbuild.cpp:133: error: 'system' was not declared in this scope
tools/depbuild.cpp: At global scope:

Add "#include <cstdlib>" to tools/depbuild.cpp

You do realize the zsnes in in extra right...

I'm still getting this error:

tools/depbuild.cpp:187: error: first argument of 'int main(size_t, const char* const*)' should be 'int'
make: *** [tools/depbuild] Error 1

And yes, I know that zsnes is in extra. I'm doing a build with customized flags.

As a guess... find the definition of the main function in depbuild.cpp and change the declaration of int for the first parameter to size_t.

Thanks, that seems to have worked.

Hi there!
I know this is an old thread, but I came across it just now and I'm having the same problem as Falcata was. I was able to follow you through adding the libraries to strutils and depbuild but the last step, changing the declaration of int to size_t, confused me. Can you clarify what I need to type in place of int main(size_t argc, const char *const *const argv)?
I hope I haven't been rude to bump this post. Thanks a whole lot for any help you can give me.
Best,
Diane

Just in case, here is the error message (in full) that I am getting when I "make"

You are going to kick yourself

int main(int argc, const char *const *const argv)

As per the Forum Etiquette, you should
a) not hijack other people's topics to get your own solved and
b) not kick topics over 6 months old.

If you have a problem, feel free to open a topic yourself and to link to the relevant previous topics. I'm shutting this one down.
