--=====================_858361427==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" It has been 20 years since I studied or used french, please pardon use of English (j'ai oublie) I have been trying to get the alliance cad system to run under linux (Debian 1.2, linux 2.0.27 kernel) without success. Tried two distributions, see attachement for some of the headaches. Please advise where a fully functional and internally self-consistent distribution might be found. Please reply to sbarton@hooked.net and skb@crystal.cirrus.com --=====================_858361427==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="ALLIANCE.TXT" I have been trying to get your alliance software to work, using two different distributions. One distribution is that found at your ftp site= ftp://ftp.ibp.fr/ibp/softs/masi/alliance the source distribution (9+MB), but this does not compile for the following reasons: 1 the top level Makefile assumes a very different directory tree structure than that in the distribution, it assumes that the source is in subdirectory tools/<tool/archi/pc/obj for each tool tool name, where the source is actually in tools/<tool/sce 2. Upon patching up the directory tree, it is found that no library sources (the libxxxxx.a files) are present. 3. Upon copying in and linking the libraries from the LINUX= SUNSITE distribution, they are found to be the incorrect libraries, in that some required ones are missing. 4. On compiling other tools, it is found that mbkedif file parser.yac has errors at lines 343 and 1004 =3D empty rule for type nonterminal with no action. Another distribution is that found at sunsite, a 16 MB file, likely= derived from the linux distribution at your site. This does not run for the following reasons: 1. in file ADDACCU/core.c I get a ton of "undefined reference to gen<your function names", despite these function names appearing the libraries linked by LIBLIST in genlib. --=====================_858361427==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" --=====================_858361427==_--
