The latest CVS version already solves these issues. With the new CVS version I succeeded to compile on Fedora 9, both 32-bits and 64-bits.
Panda3D 1.5.3 will be released within two weeks and will contain the necessary fixes (and also includes prebuilt fedora rpms.)
About cstring instead of string.h, I don’t know. It works this way with string.h anyways, so I’m not sure whether we should bother about changing that to cstring.
Maybe I was half right: with either
#include <string.h>
or
#include
it is okay, but with
#include
it is not. I believe omitting “.h” is the preferred way with C++ nowadays, but do not have my C++ books handy to check that. It’s been a long time since I’ve done any C++ programming!.
A Fedora 9 RPM will be very welcome!
Indeed, when I tried to compile from CVS, on Aug. 14 or 15, I did not get those error messages! But I did get other error messages, which suggested some missing source files – I had no idea how to supply those, and that’s why I went back to 1.5.2.
I’ve done a CVS update today and tried to recompile – this is not an urgent issue for me, since I’ve got 1.5.2 working – but just for your information, here is the output:
[root@squirrel panda3d]# makepanda/makepanda.py --nothing

You appear to be missing Python.h, meaning you don’t have the python-dev package installed.
Note that the C header file <string.h> is (and always has been) a completely different file from the C++ header file . The former defines such functions as memset(), memcpy(), and so on, while the latter defines the C++ basic_string class. No relation. I’ve never heard of , and I’m not sure why the C++ designers felt the need to muddy the waters with yet a third header file named string.

It would appear so, but the appearance is deceptive: I had python-devel installed, which provides /usr/include/python2.5/Python.h
(Since compiling 1.5.2 didn’t produce this error, I assumed that Python.h was supposed to be one of the Panda source files.)
I think the problem must be with the option --nothing, because today I am running
makepanda/makepanda.py --everything
and so far the compiler is not giving any error messages.
Oh, there was one other complication. The reason I tried building with --nothing was that, with the --everything option, it complained of not finding thirdparty. I also tried
makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --thirdparty /opt/src/panda3d-1.5.2/thirdparty
and makepanda did not recognize --thirdparty as an option. (The INSTALL-MK file does list this as a makepanda option.)
So finally, I make a symbolic link from the thirdparty directory (from panda-1.5.2) into the CVS panda directory, and that seems to be doing the trick.
Right, I think makepanda assumes that you have unpacked the thirdparty directory within the panda source directory. Where else should it expect to find it, after all?
