Can not compile iozone with aCC

[Liam Curtis]

Hi everyone. While trying to troubleshoot SAN performance (seen in another thread), I am trying to compile iozone 3_326 from www.iozone.org.

When I run aCC -Ae -v -O iozone.c, I first get:

Error 172: "iozone.c", line 1253 # Undeclared variable 'NAME'.

We did purchase the aCC compiler and it does work.


Any ideas or is there simply a depot I can grab somewhere?

thnx!

followed by a ton of errors. Any ideas or is there a depot that I can just download somewhere?

Why are you doing that?

> [...] from www.iozone.org.

Did you get the documentation, too? With the
"Building IOzone" instructions? Like:

Type: make
[...]

Make was the first thing I tried--no go.

when I do a make, I get tons of these:

(Bundled) cc: "iozone.c", line 110: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature.

Searched and found:

so I tried using aCC and get tons of errors...


Error 699: "iozone.c", line 1814 # Error limit reached; halting compilation.

Believe me, I do try before I post....

[Duncan Edmonstone]

what OS/platform are you trying to compile for?

I may have some old binaries tucked away somewhere...

If you provide the evidence, then no faith is
needed.

Wrong C compiler. "type cc"?

Not using the proper build procedure might do
that.

Not having the real C compiler, I know
nothing, but I'd guess that there's a "cc"
somewhere which gets you the good compiler,
but it's not the first "cc" on your PATH. If
you can find it, then you might have some
chance with a command like:

CC=/path/to/the/good/cc make
or:
make CC=/path/to/the/good/cc

There might even be a chance with something
like:
make CC=aCC
or
make CC='aCC '

Or, you could use GCC, which would involve
even more work.

It compiles fine with the ansiC compiler. The acc is the c++ isn't it?

When? If you got it recently, you would get both C and aC++.

Where should NAME be defined?

You need to tell make that you are using aC++:
make CC="aCC -Ae" ...

I am running HP-UX 11.11...

and as you can see I am no compiling expert ;)

we have the aCC bundle installed...I thought that the compiler did handle C...

hmm...

Ahhh...my head can stop hurting now.

Thank you!!! that did it. Did not make the connection.
