Compile Linux version for PFGW

[carpetpool]

The Windows version, it is the newest version of PFGW. The Linux version is outdated by half a year. Is someone able to compile a Linux version of the newest version of PFGW which is 3.8.3? Thanks to someone who is advanced at Linux and can do it, I am just a beginner at it for now. I can spare CPUs on my upgraded Linux computer as I cannot for Windows. The upgrade to PFGW is listed in this thread.

I gave it a try. First, the source code needs a bit of adjustment to compile:

--- pform/pfio/pfdecimalfile.cpp    (revision 642)
+++ pform/pfio/pfdecimalfile.cpp    (working copy)
@@ -2,6 +2,7 @@
 #include "pfiopch.h"
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <string.h>
+#include <ctype.h>
 
 // also includes pffile.h but defines PFNewPGenFile class which is needed for the openInputFile() function.
 #include "pfnewpgenfile.h"

Without that, it complains about isdigit() not being defined.

But then, "make" still fails with

g++ -O3 -m64 -DX86_64 -D_64BIT  -I../../packages/gmp/64bit -I../../pfconfig/headers    \
    pform/pfgw/.libs/pfgw_main.a  pform/pfio/.libs/pfio.a pform/pfoo/.libs/pfoo.a pform/pfgwlib/.libs/pfgwlib.a \

g++: error: packages/gwnum/64bit/gwnum.a: No such file or directory
makefile:8: recipe for target 'pfgw64' failed

These packages are not fetched/built by the makefile.

You need to build gwnum and gmp on your own and move the libraries to the correct folders in order for it to build. Fortunately that should be fairly easy to do.

If you can point me to the correct source file for isdigit(), I can add it to the source. I have a couple of pending changes that I haven't committed yet so I will include it with those.

After installing gwnum.a and libgmp.a, and adding "#include <ctype.h>", my make gets me to:

g++ -O3 -m64 -DX86_64 -D_64BIT  -I../../packages/gmp/64bit -I../../pfconfig/headers	\

isdigit() is already there, you just need to include it as shown in the diff.

@paulunderwood: Do you have some commands I can run? I'm trying to automate the build using a Docker container. So far, my Dockerfile is still quite modest:

FROM gcc
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libgmp-dev
COPY . /usr/src/openpfgw
WORKDIR /usr/src/openpfgw
RUN make

[paulunderwood]

I get libgmp.a from a recent installation of the latest GMP, and gwnum.a from compiling mprime -- so I guess you can wget it and make it to get GWNUM. HTH.

[nordi]

I did get the libgmp.a, but cannot compile mprime:

/usr/src/mprime/linux64# make

[ ! -e ../security.c ] && touch ../security.c || true

make: *** No rule to make target 'factor64.o', needed by 'mprime'.  Stop.

[paulunderwood]

Please try make in the gwnum directory.

I also tried this, it also failed:

/usr/src/mprime/gwnum# make -f make64

cp: cannot stat 'linux64/gwnum.a': No such file or directory
make64:19: recipe for target 'gwnum.a' failed

Funny part is: There's not even a "linux64" directory in this directory. There's a linux64 directory at the top level of the project, but it also does not contain gwnum.a.

Thanks for posting the example output! Turns out the repo on Github was missing a file. So far, it works now.

I just downloaded p95v2810.source.zip and zipinfo gives
