Re: [help-GIFT] Patches leading towards being able to run GIFT on a modern machine

[Sarah Kate]

Hi again,

I have done more work to build/run GIFT on Debian Bullseye.

There is a Docker image where you can see it working. It is paired with monosock's PHP MRML client.

See the patches here:

https://github.com/sarahkw/dockerize-gift/tree/v0.0.1/patches-gift

Review these patches instead of the ones on the previous e-mail.

Or look at the repository if you'd like to try it out in Docker:

https://github.com/sarahkw/dockerize-gift/tree/v0.0.1

The status is that it runs now, although compiler optimizations have to be disabled.

I guess recent versions of gcc are more aggressive optimizing than older versions and that makes undefined behavior more of a problem.

Hello,

Here are 2 patches that help towards being able to run GIFT on a modern machine.

(Debian 11, g++ 10.2.1)

- modern-cpp.patch allows for compilation

- fix-undefined-behavior-when-writing-errors.patch stops undefined behavior when GIFT wants to write error messages. It was writing "\n" to console on an infinite loop for me.

Please consider applying them.

Thanks,

Sarah
