Dear All,
I would be interested to know if anybody has managed to
successfully build and use Codeviz (the call graph generation utility
for C/C++) under a recent (eg. 9.0+) version of Slackware?

Thanks
Tom Crane.

i've just compiled it and installed it with no problems but i haven't
doneanything with it yet. Why?

Just a curiosity question, I ws going to compile it, however, I noticed it
required a compiler in the 3.4 family, is this correct??

I ask because 9.1 comes standard with a 3.2 compiler, so I didn't bother to
try and compile.

It builds a patched 3.4.1 gcc for data collection.

Compiled here too, some of us are curious, thing is, it puts patched
gcc in a different spot and tells you how to refer to new compiler.

I _was_ surprised when the script started downloading compiler source...
So I left it crunching away. I read README after starting compile,
some things never change?

Got all these new binaries in /usr/local/bin, but I'd been to the
source website recently So your query pushed me a little more.
Not used it yet, but it looks like might be handy tool.

It builds modified compiler in order to do data collection during
compile, so you stuck with them patching particular gcc version to do
their magic. What compiler _you_ have to compile the patched gcc-3.4.1
should make no difference. (my gcc is 3.3.4 -- Slackware-10.1)

i tried it and it found i was running 3.2 so it automatically downloaded 3.4
for me.

Ahh..None all makes sense. The instructions got me all turned around, not
a great feat in itself.

Same here. This is where my problems are. I'm running 9.0-current
which has gcc 3.2.3. Firstly there is a trivial problem with mktemp
needing an argument in the configure script. It is the compile of the
d/l gcc 3.4.1 which fails. Previously, I hacked the gcc 3.4.1 build
around to fix what appeared to be problems with the conditional
compilation associated with defs like HAVE_SYS_STAT_H -- presumably
not having been properly setup in the configure script. The result
was the modified compiler which appeared to work but which produced
graph files with things missing leading to empty results when running
gengraph.

Did your automatic compile of 3.4.1 work? And were you able produce useful
results with gengraph/graphfull?

I've temporarily put the failed results of my d/l + build on,

http://www.mklab.rhul.ac.uk/~tom/codeviz_build.log

how does this compare with yours?

Regards
Tom.

yeah sadly these things aren't tested on all platforms. I remember i once
had to hack the courier (early version) make file because it was using a
library directive made for a different linker apparently.

It compiled and installed with no problems at all though it did take a while
but to be honest I haven't got round to do anything with it yet.

I'll put my log on on my web site when i get it running
If possible you might want to upgrade to slack 10.1. Thats what i built mine
on.

Mine built okay on slack-10.1 too, but OP putting the _entire_ build.log
including 'wget' of the gcc source has somewhat soured my perspective,
perhaps OP the cleaner, playing on a box somebody left on? )

On topic:
Compiling a compiler is a big task, is the box a little tired? Need dust
bunnies removed, CPU cooling, those sort of things? The compiler error
message is hopelessly vague Doesn't convey much to me...

Though problem may be where you not looking. OP do much CPU intensive
stuff on it? Compiling large jobs --> lots of files read/written, all
CPU, memory in use. "The" way to test hardware. If OP trust h/w, maybe
time for update?

I guessed it would be a long time making considering i ate my lunch in the
time it ran the .,/configure script. When i started the build process i went
shopping and it was still compiling when i got back

old p3, warm weather, cpu fan and single case fan. you can work out the
upshot.
