[one-users] Compilation problem

Thu Feb 26 18:26:56 PST 2009

Thanks Ruben,
lex's version-convention is weird ... 
anyways, as per your advice, I have installed the correct version: $ lex -Vlex 2.5.35
after this it was not happy about something else. I am pasting the relevant commands/output:
############### edited console output #############$ scons -c$ scons parsers=yes...build_lex(["src/host/host_parser.c", "src/host/host_parser.h"], ["src/host/host_parser.l"])g++ -o src/host/Host.o -c -g -Wall -Iinclude src/host/Host.ccsrc/host/Host.cc:323: error: declaration of C function 'void host_lex_destroy()' conflicts withhost_parser.h:228: error: previous declaration 'int host_lex_destroy()' herescons: *** [src/host/Host.o] Error 1scons: building terminated because of errors.############################################
I made a trivial change in src/host/Host.cc, after which it compiles smoothly.
$ diff src/host/Host.cc ../old_one-1.2.0/src/host/Host.cc323c323<     int host_lex_destroy();--->     void host_lex_destroy();

thanks again,-upendra

So the files in OpenNebula (configuration and "user" files) uses a syntax easy to write. We feel that XML is not as clear and more cumbersome most of the time -from the human point of view ;) -. However, we are now supporting XML to communicate the files to other components. Also XML will be used to ease the integration of OpenNebula with other software tools (for example

Later, I checked that the lex file is general enough to work for me without any change. So, currently, I have managed to get it working ... but wanted to check with you folks if there is something wrong in my setup ... and it seems there is something wrong :).
