Patch #1 for Ice Touch 0.1.0 - invalid generated code for structs

[benoit]

Hi,

The patch below fixes invalid generated code for structs containing float or double members.

To apply the patch:

   $ cd IceTouch-0.1.0
   $ patch -p1 < patch.txt

Cheers,
Benoit.

Note that after applying this patch, you will need to rebuild the slice2objc translator.

To rebuild the translator:

 $ cd IceTouch-0.1.0/cpp
 $ make

You need to have mcpp installed, see the INSTALL file from the top-level directory of your Ice Touch distribution for instructions on how to build mcpp (you can use the latest mcpp 2.7.2 version).

Cheers,
Benoit.

i cannot get it to find mcpp tho i installed it with macports.
the build is trying to access -lmcpp but as far as i can see
mcpp is in bin, not lib. i've tried setting the mcpp location in Make.rules.
i've also tried install mcpp thru the link in ice downlaods. but still no luck.
thanks in advance for help.
error message follows:
c++ -O2 -DNDEBUG -ftemplate-depth-128 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -L../../lib -o ../../bin/slice2cpp Gen.o Main.o -lSlice -L/usr/local/lib -lmcpp -lIceUtil -lpthread
ld: library not found for -lmcpp
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../../bin/slice2cpp] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 1

Hi Frank,

It sounds like the mcpp build from MacPorts doesn't include the mcpp library in the lib directory. The best is to download mcpp from mcpp -- a portable C preprocessor with Validation Suite and compile it yourself. You can configure it with the following command to build a static library:

  $ ./configure CFLAGS=-fno-common --enable-mcpplib --disable-shared
  (and --prefix=<dir> if you like)

Cheers,
Benoit.
