Compiling CF on Raspberry Pi

Post by thk123 »

Hi -- I would like to use Context Free at a Code Club as I think it would be a really good fit for some of the students.

I am trying to get it compiling on a Raspberry Pi 3 (Model B). I believe all the prerequisites are required, crucially it has g++ 4.9 which supports C++14.

I have fixed one problem to do with the "-march=native" flag, which I resolved by changing the "-march=armv6". I have also tried correcting the path to "libpng.a" to "/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf" as that's where is seems to reside.

Code: Select all

LIB_DIRS = $(FFMPEG_DIR)/lib /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
However, I am now getting the following compile error:

Code: Select all

src-common/astexpression.cpp:2890:48: error: no match for ‘operator+=’ (operand types are ‘yy::location’ and ‘yy::location’)
                                 (*term)->where += (*term)->args->where;
                                                ^
I don't know enough about the code base to know what the cause of this could be. Any help would be massively appreciated, thanks in advance.

Full compile error:

The problem is that, although the cfdg.ypp file only uses features in Bison 2.5, I have Bison 3.04 installed on all my systems. This operator overload was added in Bison 3.03. I will log this as an issue and fix it in the next release. For now you have three options:
  1. Install Bison 3.04
  2. Replace the few instances of location1 += location2 with location1 = location1 + location2
  3. Stop building cfdg.l/cfdg.ypp and use the precompiled parser at src-win/derived
I can only see two places where this operator+= overload is used: astexpression.cpp and line 1027 in ast.cpp
