POHow to run program written for old compiler?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm looking for an implementation of Hybrid Tree(not important), and find an "old" one <a href="http://www-db.ics.uci.edu/pages/software/htree.shtml" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <p>The author said they have tried this code on the SUN Sparc platform (running <strong>Solaris 2.6</strong>) and with <strong>gcc-2.8.1</strong> compiler. And my environment is <strong>gcc version 4.4.3</strong> (<strong>Ubuntu 10.10</strong>).</p> <p>The problem is: I run "make" with the makefile he provides, but it gives me lots of error message as follows:</p> <pre><code>g++ -c Node.C g++ -c DataNode.C In file included from DataNode.h:18, from DataNode.C:17: Query.h:9:20: error: vector.h: No such file or directory Query.h:10:19: error: stack.h: No such file or directory Query.h:13:22: error: function.h: No such file or directory Query.h:14:22: error: iostream.h: No such file or directory DataNode.C:283:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive In file included from DataNode.h:18, from DataNode.C:17: Query.h:29: warning: ‘typedef’ was ignored in this declaration Query.h:44: warning: ‘typedef’ was ignored in this declaration Query.h:86: error: expected initializer before ‘<’ token Query.h:118: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘PQ’ with no type Query.h:118: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘*’ token Query.h:122: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘PQ’ with no type Query.h:122: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘*’ token Query.h:126: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘PQ’ with no type Query.h:126: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘*’ token Query.h:135: error: expected initializer before ‘<’ token DataNode.C: In member function ‘void DataNode::DisconnectBranch(int)’: DataNode.C:80: error: ‘memmove’ was not declared in this scope make: *** [DataNode.o] Error 1 </code></pre> <p>I know I need to modify the souce code so as to agree with the morden compiler, such as change <code>vector.h</code> to <code>vector</code>. But I find it's just endless.</p> <p>So my question is: is there any convienent method to run this program, no matter automatically converting this code to "modern-style" or using a standalone "old-style" compiler ?</p> <p>Any suggestions? </p> <p>===<strong>Update:</strong>===</p> <p>Thank you all, I installed gcc2.8.1 in a different dir using <code>--prefix=/usr/local/gcc-2.8.1</code> and modify the "makefile" to use this old-version gcc(<code>/usr/local/gcc-2.8.1/bin/gcc</code>). But when I run "make", it still gives me errors of not finding the headers:</p> <pre><code>/usr/local/gcc-2.8.1/bin/gcc -c DataNode.C In file included from DataNode.h:18, from DataNode.C:17: Query.h:9: vector.h: No such file or directory Query.h:10: stack.h: No such file or directory Query.h:11: deque: No such file or directory Query.h:12: algorithm: No such file or directory Query.h:13: function.h: No such file or directory Query.h:14: iostream.h: No such file or directory make: *** [DataNode.o] Error 1 </code></pre> <p>Then I tried to find these heads in /usr/local/gcc-2.8.1 using <code>find /usr/local/gcc-2.8.1 -name "*vector*"</code>, but got nothing.</p> <p>So where are these heads for the old-version gcc?</p>
