Link (dyld) error:

dyld: /opt/local/bin/Eterm Undefined symbols: _strnlen _strrev

... using DarwinPorts 'own' libast-0.7.tar.gz and 'sudo port -v install libast': [...] checking for strrev... yes checking for strnlen... yes [...]

I compiled libast (from ​http://www.eterm.org/download/libast-0.7.tar.gz) with './configure --prefix=/opt/local' and got: [...] checking for strrev... no checking for strnlen... no [...]

Eterm now is working just fine ...

I cannot reproduce this - Yves ?

[yves@…]

Neither can I, and I don't remember anything has changed since 10.3

I receive the same problem after successfully installing Eterm. I am not a programmer but from what I can tell I think the problem is in the new - libast 0.7

trying to run Eterm - after install

$Eterm dyld: Eterm Undefined symbols: _strnlen _strrev Trace/BPT trap $

After uninstalling Eterm and libast and reinstalling successfully, but I looked for the values and I get the same.

This is weird, because these symbols are present in libast but not defined, while Eterm works ok for me

that is why a complete build output of both could help, maybe

output for libast and Eterm thru DP 1.2 on iMac G5 OSX.3.9

[yves@…]

I kind of pinpointed the problem : strnlen and strrev are undefined symbols defined as extern in libast.h :

#if !(HAVE_STRNLEN) extern size_t strnlen(const char *, size_t); #endif

The compiler does not choke on them because of the "undefined suppress" flag

Eterm does not use directly any of these symbols, so I don't know how it should all fit at runtime.

Any hint, anyone ?

undefined suppress messed up the configuration ! fixed in cvs
