matplotlib 0.91.2 build failure

Dear all,

I am building the 0.91.2 version on a Fedora 9. I have compiled this
version on Fedora 8 earlier with no problem. However, this time the
package failed to build.

Here is the last lines from the output:

gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=generic
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fPIC
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I. -I/usr/include/python2.5 -c
ttconv/pprdrv_tt2.cpp -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.5/ttconv/pprdrv_tt2.o
In file included from ttconv/pprdrv_tt2.cpp:40:
ttconv/truetype.h:50: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'FILE' with no type
ttconv/truetype.h:50: error: expected ';' before '*' token
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

The compilers I use are gcc 4.3.0 (with g++).
Is there anything broken, or I'm missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Cong.

The compiler that ships with Fedora 9 is a little more strict about C header file usage from a C++ file. This was fixed in matplotlib SVN less than two weeks ago.

You can either

a) checkout the maintenance branch from SVN, which is basically like 0.91.2 but with a number of small bugfixes, including this one:

    svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sf.net/svnroot/matplotlib/branches/v0_91_maint matplotlib-0.91.x

b) manually apply this diff to your 0.91.2 copy:

   matplotlib download | SourceForge.net

I'd recommend a) if you're comfortable with subversion.

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks for the information. The svn version built seamlessly.
