[AG-TECH] vic compile problem.

[Joshua M. Brown]

Hey Folks,

Got all my gentoo install issues ironed out, but am having a problem
compiling vic :

http://www-mice.cs.ucl.ac.uk/multimedia/software/vic/download.html

i'll post the output, then a little system info to help:

i understand and can code C easily, but c++ is, well, another animal. i
looked in the code and "getopt" is pulled in from C with:


===== begin rat_vic_packages/vic-2.8ucl1.1.5/vic/codec/p64/mkhuff.cpp ===

extern "C" {
int getopt(int, char * const *, const char *);
}

==== end rat_vic_packages/vic-2.8ucl1.1.5/vic/codec/p64/mkhuff.cpp ===

This is Gentoo 2.4.26-gentoo-r6, with little modification to the kernel
(nothing exotic).

Gcc info:

Emerge was sync'd yesterday. Basically, i assume i have done something
incorrectly as vic and gcc were written by people a lot sharper than i.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.
