SystemC 2.3 installation problems on ubuntu

[ManInTheMirror]

Hi all,

I am having some problems proceeding with systemC 2.3.0 installation on ubuntu.

The problem arises at the point of executing the 'make' command

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/beteck/systemc-2.3/objdir/src/sysc/kernel'

/bin/bash ../../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DSC_INCLUDE_FX -I. -I../../../../src/sysc/kernel -I../../../../src -fpermissive -Wall -m32 -O3 -pthread -c -o sc_attribute.lo ../../../../src/sysc/kernel/sc_attribute.cpp

libtool: compile: Failed to create `.libs'

make[3]: *** [sc_attribute.lo] Error 1

Can anyone help with that?

Best regards

In general, a failing libtool indicates a local problem with your environment. Please check for free space, directory permission, etc. You use a filesystem with sipport for symbolic links, right? (i.e. not NTFS, FAT32)? Do you try to cross-compile?

That said, can you please post the output of the call (incl. the parameters given to) the 'configure' script? You somehow added -fpermissive to the compiler flags, which is a bad, if not very bad idea.

Thanks Philip.

sudo ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/systemc-2.3 CPPFLAGS=-fpermissive

sudo ../configure CPPFLAGS=-fpermissive --prefix=/usr/local/systemc-2.3

I have tried those two calls at different times before the 'make'

I have also called the ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/systemc-2.3 i.e without the CPPFLAGS= -fpermissive

When CPPFLAGS is used, output is:

beteck@ubuntu:~/systemc-2.3/objdir$ make

Making all in src

===========================

Without the CPPFLAGS the configure cmd is denied permission to execute - output is

beteck@ubuntu:~/systemc-2.3/objdir$ ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/systemc-2.3

../configure: line 1492: config.log: Permission denied

../configure: line 1502: config.log: Permission denied

To answer your question about the type of file system,I am not quite sure. I am using Ubuntu installed on an HP window machine

The compiler is gnu gcc.

Thanks in advance

sudo ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/systemc-2.3 CPPFLAGS=-fpermissive

sudo ../configure CPPFLAGS=-fpermissive --prefix=/usr/local/systemc-2.3

...

beteck@ubuntu:~/systemc-2.3/objdir$ make

...

beteck@ubuntu:~/systemc-2.3/objdir$ ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/systemc-2.3

Ok, I think you have messed up the file permissions in your "objdir" directory by calling "configure" through sudo. (Why?!)

You should start afresh by removing the "objdir" directory first, or try the following from within a "new" build directory.

Call "configure" without the "CPPFLAGS=-fpermissive" (Where did you get that from anyway?), and compile as regular user. Afterwards you can install via sudo:

../configure --prefix=/usr/local/systemc-2.3
make
sudo make install

Your are a STAR, Philipp.

Merci mille fois.

To answer the question "Where you got that from anyway". I found it in that all time bin yard called interget through google search - lots of shit on there if one doesnt know how to sifter through.

Anyway,thank you very much

Have a good day

Just for the record:

CPPFLAGS

is not meant to pass options to the C or C++ compiler when using

make

, it is used to pass options to the C preprocessor (usually called

cpp

). You should use

CFLAGS

and

CXXFLAGS

to pass options to the C compiler or C++ compiler, respectively. As Philipp mentioned, using

-fpermissive

is not a good idea.
