[Discuss-gnuradio] Problems building swig 1.3.23

[Rob Snell]

Hi all,

There has been some recent discussion on this list regarding trying to build
gnuradio from scratch on FC3 which is what I am trying to do.  I am still
working on the prerequisites.  A post from Robert Bichage got me through my
problems with cppunit but I am having some swig problems.

I had swig 1.3.21-6 in FC3 but the README in gnuradio-core-2.3 said 1.3.22
or better was needed so I tried to build 1.3.23.  It built fine but the make
check failed with the following:
mkdir .libs
 g++ -I. -I/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class
-DPHP_ATOM_INC
-I/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class/include
-I/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class/main
-I/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class
-I/usr/include/php -I/usr/include/php/main -I/usr/include/php/Zend
-I/usr/include/php/TSRM -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c
/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class/example_wrap.cpp
-fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/example_wrap.o
 g++ -I. -I/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class

-I/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class/main
-I/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class
-I/usr/include/php -I/usr/include/php/main -I/usr/include/php/Zend
-I/usr/include/php/TSRM -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c
/home/rsnell/gnuradio2.3/SWIG-1.3.23/Examples/php4/class/example_wrap.cpp
-fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/example_wrap.o
libtool: link: `example.lo' is not a valid libtool object
make[2]: *** [example.la] Error 1
make[2]: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2

This is not my only problem with swig.  I am also wondering...swig 1.3.23
was not available as an RPM, at least as far as I could find.  Does this
mean I need to rpm uninstall the 1.3.21-6 version first, and build my own
rpm for 1.3.23 once I get the problems building swig 1.3.23 worked out?

Cheers,
Rob
