The problems upgraded to fedora 9

[zjsun]

To be frankly, Fedora 9 is great distribution, but there is nothing
perfect in the world with no exception of Fedora :)

sipx project can be compiled successfully on Fedora 8, my another
program is compiled successfully on fedora 8 also

But after I upgraded my pc to fedora 9, all the things changed.

My program failed to compile on fedora 9 with the complaints of some
functions like memset, strcpy not found.

Sipx projects has the same problem, which can find strncpy, strcmp,
and so on. The worst is that it always report the following errors

[all-recursive] errors or [check-recursive] errors

I was confused by these strange errors.

Does fedora 9 change its include path and contents.of tools chains?

Can anyone give me some hints?

Thanks very much for your kindly help

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html

Hi,

This is probably caused by gcc 4.3, which is more strict than previous
versions of gcc. Most of the time these errors are caused by missing
#include's. The functions memset and strcpy are both declared in
string.h, so you need to check if the .c file which fails to compile has
an #include <string.h> in it and add it if necessary.

To find out which function is declared in which .h file, you can consult
the man-pages (for example: man strncpy)

But if you are using C++, then #include <cstring>

Don't forget to send patch upstream to make it work out of box next time ;)
