centericq won't make properly

[reelbigjosh]

Hello all,

I'm attempting to install centericq on an iMac running 10.3.9 ; Xcode 1.5 is installed (can't install 2.0 or higher without Tiger). X11 is also installed, as well as Xcode Legacy tools from the Apple Developer Connection site. ./configure seems to go okay, and make goes well for a while, then...


gcc -DPACKAGE=\"libjabber\" -DVERSION=\"0.1\" -I. -I. -I./../connwrap -I./../connwrap-0.1 -g -O2 -c sha.c

I'm not a developer and have only minimal experience in coding. Can anyone tell my why this isn't working? I compiled the links browser just fine, and coming from a Linux background, would very much like to see centericq up and running.

Log files with the outputs of ./configure --disable-msn and make are available here:
./configure --disable-msn
make

Any reason why you want to use centericq instead of the GUI clients like Adium which are based on libgaim? I use it on my Slackware box when I ssh into it since my work blocks IM.

The other option might be to try using Fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net) and install the Unix development files from there. Once you have that installed, you might be able to compile centericq without any problems.

Yuck. That kind of datatype compilation problem isn't cool at all. The source possibly isn't written in a way that's portable to OS X. It might make assumptions about target platforms and not have defined its datatypes properly.

You might be able to fix it by making a small tweak to sha.c.

If you add this line to sha.c, it might compile:

#include <stdint.h>

On Linux, uint32_t is defined like in stdint.h:

/usr/include/stdint.h:typedef unsigned int uint32_t;

You can see if it's in the same header on OS X, using this command:
$ grep uint32_t /usr/include/stdint.h

If you get a line similar to the one above, the #include should do the trick. I don't know if Fink helps with this kind of stuff or not.

The question then becomes where to add the #include. Somewhere neat the top of the module would be appropriate but without seeing the source, I can't advise on where it should go.

Peace...

I will make the suggested modifications to sha.c once I get back to my iMac (currently I'm out of town, using the iBook). However, centericq did compile under 10.4 with Xcode 2.2 on the iBook, so that was a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.
