Compiling Trouble
make isn't doing the right thing
- Be sure that you are running GNU make: other versions of make
will fail in unpredictable ways. You can check if your make is
GNU make by running
make --version.
Running Trouble
- When I start any Objective C program on my Linux machine, I get
a floating point exception.
- This is a bizarre bug in Linux libc-5.0.9. The quick fix is to
hide the problem by linking
all Objective C programs with
-lieee (in Swarm, set
OTHERLIBS in Makefile.conf to -lieee).
Alternatively, upgrade to libc-5.2.18 or newer.
How do I...
