(TCL_DONT_WAIT was one that Robey recommend to users using a 7.5 beta release of Tcl). I will hopefully try to give credit where credit is due, but essentially I have just claimed it as contributors. If anything is to be contributed I will place e-mail addresses with it on future contributions. --- EGGDROP AND TCL COMPILING ERRORS AND RESOLUTION FAQ by Chad Wagner and contributors 1. UNDEFINED REFERENCES IN NET.O -- SunOS Undefined first referenced symbol in file socket net.o gethostbyname net.o accept net.o bind net.o setsockopt net.o gethostbyaddr net.o getsockname net.o gethostname net.o listen net.o connect net.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to eggdrop This seems to be caused by a few libraries not being detected by the auto-configure program, it is relatively easy to fix. Edit your Makefile, note that yours may be slightly different than this one when it comes to the tcl library, but here is the way it probably is: GMAKE = ${MAKE} 'CC=gcc' 'AWK=awk' 'OBJS=${OBJS}' 'TCLLIBFN=tcl.a'\ 'CFLAGS=${CFLAGS}' 'XREQ=${XREQ}' 'XLIBS= -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl -lm'\ 'TCLLIB=${TCLLIB}' 'RANLIB=:' 'STRIP=' And here is what you need to change: GMAKE = ${MAKE} 'CC=gcc' 'AWK=awk' 'OBJS=${OBJS}' 'TCLLIBFN=tcl.a'\ 'CFLAGS=${CFLAGS}' 'XREQ=${XREQ}' 'XLIBS=-lsocket -ldl -lnsl -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl -lm'\ 'TCLLIB=${TCLLIB}' 'RANLIB=:' 'STRIP=' You are adding in three libraries to be linked in, socket, dl, and nsl. This will resolve the net.o errors. 2. COMPILE STOPS AT THE LAST MINUTE WITH "LD FATAL SIGNAL 11"! -- Linux This seems to be caused by a non-ELF Tcl library binary, and the compiler doesn't seem to like it. The first thing you want to do is download and compile tcl yourself. And then follow this set of commands to help you reconfigure eggdrop using the newly compiled Tcl library (all of this should be done from your home directory): cd mkdir lib mkdir include find . -name libtcl* The output from the find command should give you the location of the library, take the output of that and do the next command with the output of find replacing $$find$$: mv $$find$$ lib/libtcl.a Now we continue with another find to help us locate tcl.h: find . -name tcl.h The output from the find command should give you the location of the header file, take the output of that and do the next command with the output of find replacing $$find$$: mv $$find$$ include Hopefully you know what shell you are using and can pick out which commands to use, if the first two setenv commands give command not found then use the next two, if not then don't use the next two. First set are for csh/tcsh users, following set is for bash/ksh users. csh/tcsh: setenv TCLLIB '$HOME/lib' setenv TCLINC '$HOME/include' bash/ksh: export TCLLIB='$HOME/lib' export TCLINC='$HOME/include' And then finally run configure again for eggdrop and then make, and hopefully it will work. 3. LD: -ltcl7.4: EXPECTED LIBX.SO(.MAJOR.MINOR.XXX) ld: -ltcl7.4: expected libx.so(.major.minor.xxx) collect2: ld returned 4 exit status *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `eggdrop' On some Unix boxes this seems to be caused by the linker, it is expecting a specific filename format and when it doesn't live up to it's expectations it usually barfs. I always see this caused by when the library for Tcl is called libtcl7.4.a or libtcl7.5.a, rename it to simply libtcl.a if you installed Tcl yourself, if you didn't and your using the Tcl that the system installed then do this: View your Makefile, look for the line (should be close to the top) that says XREQ = /usr/local/lib/libtcl7.4.a And remember that FULL pathname. Go to your home directory, and do the following: mkdir lib cd lib ln -s $$xreq$$ libtcl.a Replace $$xreq$$ with the full pathname from the XREQ line from the Makefile. And finally the next thing you want to do depending on what shell your using is: (try the first one, if it gives bad command then use the second) csh/tcsh: setenv TCLLIB '$HOME/lib' bash/ksh: export TCLLIB='$HOME/lib' Did I say finally? Heh, finally run configure and then make again. 4. 'TCL_DONT_WAIT' UNDECLARED IN MAIN.C main.c: In function `main':main.c:864: `TCL_DONT_WAIT' undeclared (first use this function) main.c:864: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once main.c:864: for each function it appears in.) make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1 This seems to be caused by a beta release of Tcl 7.5 on eggdrop 1.0a and later bots, the solution is relatively simple. Edit your eggdrop.h file and add in a line at the end or the beginning, or somewhere (preferrably near other #define's and #undef's) in eggdrop.h that isn't in the middle of a comment or struct: #undef MODERN_TCL 5. STRIP TERMINATED WITH SIGNAL 6 collect2: strip terminated with signal 6 [IOT/Abort trap] *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop. I don't really know what the hell is causing this, but I find that if you don't strip the binary you cut out the problem (obviously), edit your Makefile and change this line from: GMAKE = ${MAKE} 'CC=gcc' 'AWK=awk' 'OBJS=${OBJS}' 'TCLLIBFN=tcl.a'\ 'CFLAGS=${CFLAGS}' 'XREQ=${XREQ}' 'XLIBS= -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl -lm' \ 'TCLLIB=${TCLLIB}' 'RANLIB=ranlib' 'STRIP=-s' To this line below: (your lines may differ, but what you are doing is changing 'STRIP=-s' to 'STRIP=') GMAKE = ${MAKE} 'CC=gcc' 'AWK=awk' 'OBJS=${OBJS}' 'TCLLIBFN=tcl.a'\ 'CFLAGS=${CFLAGS}' 'XREQ=${XREQ}' 'XLIBS= -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl -lm' \ 'TCLLIB=${TCLLIB}' 'RANLIB=ranlib' 'STRIP=' -- Chad Wagner cmwagner@gate.net cmwagner@sodrenet.com cmwagner@eskimo.com
