I try to compile the openinventor support for Geant4 using gcc version 4.1.1 20061011. The compilation terminates with the error: Compiling SoBox.cc ... src/SoBox.cc:59: error: extra ; make: *** [/usr/local/cern/geant/geant4/tmp/Linux-g++/G4OpenInventor/SoBox.o] Error 1 It seems that a similar (same?) problem has occured using gcc 3.4.x. The problem seemed to be a compilation with a "pedantic" flag. I can't find any reference to "pedantic" in any of the relevant makefiles. I have the following Inventor packages installed: Inventor-devel-2.1.5-24.fc6 Inventor-demos-2.1.5-24.fc6 Inventor-data-2.1.5-24.fc6 Inventor-2.1.5-24.fc6 InventorXt-2.1.5-24.fc6 Inventor-examples-2.1.5-24.fc6 InventorXt-devel-2.1.5-24.fc6 Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks, W. Korsch
Hello With the g++-3.<something>, the compiler stopped on an empty statement ";;" with the -pedantic option ; which was a little bit too much (nothing refrain to have an empty statement in the C++ standard). But this seems ok with the g++-4.0.1 on my Mac. Then can you try to compile the simple below code : int main() { int i;; return 0; } Can you try by capturing the options used by Geant4 ? The line pointed in SoBox.cc is a big cpp macro, then not easy to see what is exactly the context from which the extra ';' comes.... Anyway, I have not tried the Inventor-2.1.5 with a g++-4.x. I am going to have a try... In general I am using coin3d-2.x for the Inventor implementation. You may think also to try it... Cheers
Hello Then it seems that g++-4.x with -pedantic stops on something like : void xxx() {}; that is to say with an extra ";" after the declaration of a function. To go on, I propose that you compile the Inventor drivert without the -pedantic opition. It is set in the config/sys/Linux-g++.gmk. Cheers
