Hallo world! The current version of ET++ that has been distributed
seems not to work. Without any success at all I have tried to build
it. Many people that has sent mail to me seems to have had the same
problems as I have had.
I would be grateful if Erich Gamma or Andre Weinand why it is so difficult
to build ET++ this time.
I also found some rather strange files in the distribution:
et2/src/PathLookup.h contained this:
---------------
...
class PathLdsfsdfsdfsdhfkjsdfkjsdhfksdhfjsf`
while true do echo blabla
ich tkdkd sadjflf gehdfs fddsfsdfkdf sdfklsjdfjfjfdfkjsaflsjdf
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
jkjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
...
ookup: public Object {
friend class PathIter;
char *path;
...
--------------------
Why does this file contains this stuff? The file is OK to use because
macros prevents that stuff from being include, but isn't it a rather
strange programming style to have this junk in the file. ;-)

It looks like you may have corrupted version of the source. I recently obtained version 2.0 from iamsun.unibe.ch and the garbage you refer to in PathLookup.h isn't there. I only had to add one header file (Don't remember offhand which one right now) and set the Makefiles to the Sun versions, modify the etCC driver and everything but a few sample applications compiled without any problems.

Flame on May I suggest to Mr. Nyquist, that instead of wasting net bandwidth by posting flames to contact us directly by mail... may be we have solution to his problem! Flame off From people which are willing to communicate with us we got some feedback concerning installation problems. Problem 1: Linking an ET++ application under SUNOS4.1 results in: ld: calrelco symb lookup botch *** Error code 4 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `micky' This is due to a bug of ld in SUNOS4.1. The workaround is to change the definition of ETO in ET_DIR/src/makefile from: ETO= $(PE_OFILES) ofiles3.o Init.o $(WS_OFILES) $(PR_OFILES) \ ofiles2.o ofiles1.o to: ETO= $(PE_OFILES) $(OFILES3) Init.o $(WS_OFILES) $(PR_OFILES) \ $(OFILES2) $(OFILES1) Problem 2: Applications crash when compiled with the original AT&T C++2.0 compiler on SPARCstations. This problem has to do with the handling of variable argument lists on the SPARC. Change the sed command in ET_DIR/bin/cpp from: sed -e "s/#line/#/g" -e "s/_au0___builtin_va_alist/__builtin_va_alist/g" $file to: sed -e "s/#line/#/g" -e "s/__0__builtin_va_alist/__builtin_va_alist/g" $file Mr. Nyquist continues: >> I also found some rather strange files in the distribution... ^ The ONLY strange file he found is indeed strange, but this file does not cause any problems for the installation (there is of course a funny story behind this file...). A new version of ET++(2.1) and patches to upgrade from 2.0 are available by anonymous ftp from iam.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10] in "C++/ET++" or "pub" --erich gamma
