Bug 128738 – openpbs-2.3.16-r3 fails to compile with gcc-4

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastiaan 2006-04-04 01:51:12 UTC]

When compiling OpenPBS with gcc-4 it exits with:

sed: file ../../buildutils/exclude_script line 4: unknown command: `/'
make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/openpbs-2.3.16-r3/work/OpenPBS_2_3_16/src/resmom'

The sed error is from the gcc32 patch. Not sure what it patches, but when removed openpbs still compiles.

The incomplete element type error seems typical for gcc-4:

This patch seems to fix it (I'm not a programmer!).

I'm not about to register on the site, so I can't give you an actual fix, but I can tell you right now that the one proposed isn't the right one :)  Find out where attribute_def is defined (in which header), and include that header at the top of the file with the error.  That should fix it.

Fixed in CVS.
