Re: Unable to compile XLog 2.0.22 on Debian Buster

I tried running in the terminal:

sudo apt-get build-dep xlog

Nothing got installed. So I should all the dependencies for xlog are already be installed -- (at least for version 2.0.14 which is the latest version in the Debian Buster repos). I do not think that any of the dependencies have changed from version 2.0.14 to 2.0.22.

But when I try to compile the XLog 2.0.22 code, the build still fails with the same error.

adif3.c: In function ‘adif_qso_append’:

adif3.c:527:4: error: ‘strncpy’ source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict]

strncpy (qfield, q[fld], qfield_len); // Save the string from start to space, not including the space.

P.S. I know that the source for version 2.0.22 will compile on some systems. I was able to compile XLog 2.0.22 on my old 64-bit Mac running Lion 10.7.5 without any issues. Perhaps the issue lies with 32-bit builds?

Any ideas?

Subject: Unable to compile XLog 2.0.22 on Debian Buster

I am running Anti-X linux on an 32-bit PC. Anti-X linux uses the Debian Buster repos.

I installed XLog 2.0.14 from the Debian Buster repos. XLog runs fine.

But I want to upgrade to the latest verson of Xlog - version 2.0.22.
So I am trying to compile XLog 2.0.22 from source.

I made sure that the following Debian Buster packages were installed first:

libhamlib2 (version 3.3-5)
libhamlib-dev
gcc (version 8.3.0-6)
pkg-config
libglib2.0-dev
libgtk2.0-dev
libusb1.0-0-dev
libcanberra-gtk-module

"./ configure" runs fine without any errors.

But when I run "make" to compile the code, I get the following error:

gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"xlog\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"xlog\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"2.0.22\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"xlog\ 2.0.22\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"kb1oiq@arrl.net\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"xlog\" -DVERSION=\"2.0.22\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_IPC_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_SHM_H=1 -DHAVE_STRPTIME=1 -DHAVE_STRCHR=1 -DHAVE_INDEX=1 -DENABLE_NLS=1 -DHAVE_GETTEXT=1 -DHAVE_DCGETTEXT=1 -I. -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -Werror -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wall -Wno-stringop-truncation -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -MT adif3.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/adif3.Tpo -c -o adif3.o adif3.c
