Thread: cvs update, configure, make, error in bootstrap.* ?...

Hi,

Tried to compile PG from CVS today, my platform is:

$ uname -a
Linux pastis 2.4.17-686 #2 Sat Dec 22 21:58:49 EST 2001 i686 unknown

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/specs
gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)

I do a simple ./configure then a simple make

And the error is:

" [...]
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/jpargudo/etudes/postgresql-cvs/pgsql-cvs-snapshot-20020423/src/backend/bootstrap'
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I.
-I../../../src/include   -c -o bootparse.o bootparse.c
bootparse.y: In function `Int_yyparse':
bootparse.y:276: structure has no member named `class'
make[3]: *** [bootparse.o] Erreur 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/jpargudo/etudes/postgresql-cvs/pgsql-cvs-snapshot-20020423/src/backend/bootstrap'
make[2]: *** [bootstrap-recursive] Erreur 2
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/jpargudo/etudes/postgresql-cvs/pgsql-cvs-snapshot-20020423/src/backend'
make[1]: *** [all] Erreur 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/jpargudo/etudes/postgresql-cvs/pgsql-cvs-snapshot-20020423/src'
make: *** [all] Erreur 2
"

I can't find anywhere such already notifyied bug :-(

What am I doing wrong?...

I'll watch the source and try to guess what's wrong in bootstrap.* ...

Cheers,

You seem to have an out-of-date bootparse.c.  Perhaps a timestamp skew
problem?  Try removing bootstrap_tokens.h and bootparse.c, then try
again.

Yup. Works.

I had to do it many times to make it work... strange :)

I noticed many .cvsignore in many folders (there is one in
src/backend/bootstrap for example), is that ok?

Thanks for the right help :)
