[bug-gsrc] Build failure

Hello,

My error is in building 3dldf during the initial ‘make’ of gsrc-2014.07.06. The short version is inline in this email, a longer version attached.

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -O2 -o prbsnflx prbsnflx.c++

ctangle parser.w

This is CTANGLE, Version 3.64 (Web2C 7.5.6)

! Sorry, token capacity exceeded. (l. 2902 of include file ./pblexpr.w)

false : pv->are_distinct(@=$3@>, 10, parameter);

(That was a fatal error, my friend.)

I didn’t see the 2014.10.11 release of GSRC in the mirrors, has it been pulled for some reason? I checked both <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsrc/> and http://mirror.sbb.rs/gnu/gsrc/ mentioned in the release email. I cannot use the bzr access as it seems to be blocked by firewall.

If I’m told which mirror has 2014.10.11, I’d happily abandon trying to get 2014.07.06 to build.

Background:

I am trying to make the toplevel “gsrc”, so that I may install later GCC versions without causing conflicts in my RHEL 6 corporate-approved Linux workstation.

I’m broadly familiar with autotools and installing locally to $HOME/usr/local via the –prefix= option, but have not wrestled with them recently. Gsrc seemed like a wonderful way to avoid much of that.

:~/tmp/gsrc-2014.07.06$ uname -a

Linux mv-emonsler.argon.local 2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 12 16:05:43 EST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am sadly in a situation in which I need to be non-standard in a possibly significant way: I need to use an http_proxy. This works fine, except for FTP links. I modified gar.lib.mk as follows, to use http instead:

# download an ftp URL (colons omitted)

ftp//%:

wget $(WGET_OPTS) -O $(DOWNLOADDIR)/$(notdir $*).partial http://$*

mv $(DOWNLOADDIR)/$(notdir $*).partial $(DOWNLOADDIR)/$(notdir $*)

That seems to work, sometimes the auto-download fails but I re-trigger it and that works.

Trying again, I run:

$ make >buildLog.txt
