Title: Error Compiling aMule
Post by: Jcei on April 07, 2004, 12:49:54 PM

Hi,
I've got some problems compiling aMule due to a strange problem. I've followed each step of the explainations given in the post-it, but seems I've missed something.

All the libraries compiled and installed correctly, but when I compile aMule I've always this error : "Please define string case-insensitive compare for your > OS/Compiler". What's have I done wrong ?

Thx
Jcei

What OS and compiler have you got?

That's the weirdest error I've ever seen.

I use Slackware-current. Nothing fancy in my setup, nothing tweaked in the compilator, didn't modified install files, just followed all the steps of the HowTo. I've done these steps 4th time and everytime it stops with the same error.
I'll do it one more time to give you the exact output.


EDIT : Typo

I've found the bug.
There was old traces of wxGTK 2.5 installed in my local/bin. After removing them it worked like a charm. I suppose it was conflicting with 2.4.

Thx 4 ur help.

I bring that thread back from the dead, for I have almost the same problem, which won't let me compile wxGTK 2.6, downloaded from http://www.wxwidgets.org/ :

./configure
... (lots of stuff going fine)
checking for strcasecmp() in string.h... no
checking for strcasecmp() in strings.h... no
configure: error: No case-insensitive string comparison function found.

I'm supposed to have uninstalled everything from my OS containing "wx" inside, which was versions 2.4 2.5 and 2.6, all mdk/plf mandrake-adapated packages, for my Mandriva 2005 LE.

But maybe, me too, I have traces of the older versions... Could someone tell me what your "traces" of older wx versions might look like, so that I can know what to search ? ^^

when I look at google with that error seams to me that you are missing some gcc libs, which includes this functionallity

but sorry no clue which on that is under mandriva, but it has nothing todo with old wx

OK, back from work, I could spend a little half-hour searching :D

Thanks for the reply, your gcc hint made me search for available rpms, and searching my current gcc version (3.4.3-7 mdk) I saw another package that I had not installed, c++ support for that gcc version.
I installed that rpm package... and compilation of wx worked ! Thanks a bunch, now, that's already one problem solved ^_^

Thanks stefanero :o)
