compilation problem

[refulgent]

Greetings,

I am trying to compile my c++ program (it was compiling and running on different unix server) but i get this error:

g++ generator.cpp
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccVX263x.s", line 4874: error: can't compute value of
an expression involving an external symbol

I never had error like that before..does anybody knows what is causing it and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot,

Kate

Hi.

Your file is getting compiled but is failing in the assembling.
The assembly source file is what is created in /usr/tmp/ccVX263x.s.
Could you post the line of that file here (line 4874). Or you can examine
the file like this.

try
g++ -S generator.cpp

This should generate generator.s in your cwd. Examine line 4874
for diagnosis.

also... are there any other cpp files? I was so used to using scripts that I sometimes forgot the basics of g++. YOu may need to:

g++ generator.cpp my_class.cpp etc...

hi!

I compiled it with -S it didn't give me any errors/messages. In file generator.s
line 4874 is..(sorry its long!!!):

I've just upgraded an AIX box from 4.1.5 to 4.3.3 and have also installed VisualAge 5.0. I can't seem to get one of my programmes to compile. Has anyone seen this.....

Stop.

Also can anyone help with getting LUM and licensing to work.

Thanks for any help.....

oops... sorry for that. I forgot that it is a C++ compiler,
hence all the name mangling that you got.

Your file generator.cpp might have some dependency on an external variable which it cant find. Does your program have other source files also ?

abp :-O

no my program is very simple, it is all in one file it takes text file with input (a bnf like grammar) and as a output generated a random sentence..

the only thing that i can think of is that problem might be because my programm uses stl map and passes it recursively throughout the lifetime of the programm....can it be the problem?

Thank you,

Kate

Hi Kate,

If you can mail me the code, I could take a look at it.
