[bug-gnubatch] GNU Batch Fails To Build

[Smith, Ron D - Exelis]

FWIW, I tried to find ‘\bline_count\b’ in the source code, and it is in util/msglex.l.

 

>grep --recursive -P '\bline_count\b' .

./util/msgparse.y:extern        int     line_count;

./util/msgparse.y:      fprintf(stderr, "Parse error: %s on line %d\n", msg, line_count);

./util/msgparse.y:                      int  lc = line_count;

./util/msgparse.y:                      while  (line_count == lc);

./util/msgparse.y:                              fprintf(stderr, "Unknown help file %s on line %d\n", $1, line_count);

./util/alloc.c:extern   int             errors, line_count;

./util/alloc.c:                 fprintf(stderr, "Undefined name %s near line %d\n", ve->val_un.val_name->vn_string, line_count);

./util/alloc.c:                 fprintf(stderr, "Macro %s is redefined line %d\n", name, line_count);

./util/helpparse.c:extern       int     errors, line_count, pass1;

./util/helpparse.c:             fprintf(stderr, "Help text definition at line %d not used anywhere: ", line_count);

./util/helpparse.c:     line_count = 1;

./util/msglex.l:int     line_count = 1;

./util/msglex.l:\n                      line_count++;

./util/msglex.l:                                int     start_line = line_count;

./util/msglex.l:                                                line_count++;

./util/msglex.l:                                                        line_count++;

./util/msglex.l:                                                               line_count, start_line);

./util/msglex.l:                                                                line_count++;

./util/msglex.l:                                int     start_line = line_count;

./util/msglex.l:                                                line_count++;

./util/msglex.l:                                                        line_count++;

./util/msglex.l:                                                               line_count, start_line);

./util/msglex.l:                                                                line_count++;

./util/msglex.l:                        fprintf(stderr, "Had a \'%c\' on line %d\n", yytext[0], line_count);

Binary file ./util/helpparse.o matches

Binary file ./util/msgparse.o matches

Binary file ./util/msglex.o matches

Binary file ./util/alloc.o matches

Binary file ./util/helpparse matches

 

However your log seems to be missing a lot of information because right after “make”, it goes directly into linking for helpparse, without building the source code. If you start with a clean tarball, what is the entire log? If you look at the symbol table for msglex.o does it have an extern for line_count?
