Re: Could not compile gnu apl-1.8 on Fedora 32

[Hans-Peter Sorge]

    Hi,
    
    just to let you know (FC32, most recent version). The dependency
    shows
    
    dnf deplist apl-1.8-0.x86_64.rpm
    .....
      dependency: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.9)(64bit)
       provider: libstdc++-10.2.1-1.fc32.x86_64
      dependency: libtinfo.so.5()(64bit)
       provider: ncurses-compat-libs-6.1-15.20191109.fc32.x86_64
      dependency: libtinfo.so.5(NCURSES_TINFO_5.0.19991023)(64bit)
    ....
    
    Where as the current package installed is at 6.1:
    pkg-config --modversion /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/tinfo.pc
    6.1.20191109

    The noticeable difference is the kernel version.

Hello,

Running Fedora 32. Downloaded apl-1.8.src.

*******

in dir apl-1.8:

./configure 

...

configure: creating ./src//buildtag.hh

svn: E155007: '/home/doug/Downloads/apl-1.8.src/apl-1.8/src/Archive.cc' is not a working copy

configure: creating ./src/makefile.h

This may happen when GNU APL is not fetched via svn. The point is to create a small file
called buildtag.hh in directory src. It normally looks like this:

#include "Common.hh"
#define BUILDTAG PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION " / 17072:17076M", "2020-08-10 09:27:53 UTC", "Linux 4.15.0-108-generic x86_64", "'--enable-maintainer-mode' 'DEVELOP_WANTED=yes' 'CXX_WERROR=yes'"
#define ARCHIVE_SVN " 16972"

If the file cannot be created for  some reason then you can edit it manually like above
(possibly adjusting some of the values above. ./configure should continue despite of the
error, so make after ./configure supposedly works.

This can happen with newer gcc versions. I have filed a bug with the gcc guys earlier
this year but no solution yet.

See file README-11-bogus-compiler-warnings in the top-level directory
for how to fix this.

also tried to install apl-1.8-0.x86_64.rpm

 Problem: conflicting requests

  - nothing provides libtinfo.so.5(NCURSES_TINFO_5.0.19991023)(64bit) needed by apl-1.8-0.x86_64

This looks to me like a Fedora dependency problem. GNU APL does not use libinfo.

could not install libinfo.so.5
