[Octopus-users] [Fwd: Octopus 2.0.1 compile-time errors on SGI IRIX]

Hi Charles,

It seems that the problem is that Irix's libc has some differences with
other libraries. Can you try the following changes?

varinfo.c: 65

I couldn't find strndup in SGI's documentation, i think the problem is that
it returns a "void *" and not a "char *".

Change

  *dest = strndup(s, s1-s);

to

   *dest = (char *) strndup(s, s1-s);



varinfo.c: 78

Getc returns an integer not a character, and as the value is been casted to
a char directly, the comparison will always fail. Try the following
modifications:

void get_text(FILE *in, char **dest)
{
   char c, line[256];
   int b;                            <<<<

   for(;;){
   /* check if the next line starts by a space */
   if((b=getc(in)) == EOF) return;   <<<<
      c=(char) b;                    <<<<
      ungetc(c, in);


Cheers,

Xavier
