Re: Building octave on Solaris

[pben]

Hello there,

Yes, config.h has those lines in it. It's definitely a 'visiblity' problem--if I drop those lines into quit.h, the compile continues (only to fail at a later point). I can't make out why quit.h cannot 'see' the contents of config.h. I'll keep playing with it though.

Thanks,
Ben

I don't think that is the problem.  I build Octave all the time as a
normal user.

The file config.h should have lines like this in it:

  #if defined (__GNUC__)
  #define GCC_ATTR_NORETURN __attribute__ ((__noreturn__))
  #define GCC_ATTR_UNUSED __attribute__ ((__unused__))
  #else
  #define GCC_ATTR_NORETURN
  #define GCC_ATTR_UNUSED
  #endif

These lines are included in config.h on all systems, so the fact that
GCC_ATTR_NORETURN is not defined on yours indicates some trouble at
the configuration time.

When you ran configure, did it generate a config.h file?
