Cannot compile on Archlinux due to missing includes

GNU Radio

Hello again. I’m trying to build gnuradio-3.1.2 (and svn, and 3.1.1,
with the same results) on a very recent install of Arch Linux (using GCC
4.3), and I’m running into a brick wall trying to make it compile. The
problem I’m having seems to result from #includes not being setup
properly. For example, after I run make, it errs on gr_dispatcher.cc,
saying:

gr_dispatcher.cc: In member function ‘void gr_dispatcher::loop(double)’:
gr_dispatcher.cc:177: error: ‘perror’ was not declared in this scope
make[5]: *** [gr_dispatcher.lo] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory
`/home/casey/gnuradio-3.1.2/gnuradio-core/src/lib/runtime’

Being the responsible soul, I tracked down what the missing include was,
and stuck it into gr_dispatch.cc (or .h, I’ve tried these steps several
times over). This solved the compilation problem with gr_dispatch, but
it quickly erred out on another file, and another, and another. So I
went as far as to include the missing headers (string.h, stdio.h) into
config.h.
Suffice it to say, it still does not build, and I finally get errors
along the lines of:

In file included from gr_packed_to_unpacked_bb.cc:32:

PLEASE help. I have never had this much trouble trying to compile
gnuradio on Arch.

Thanks for pointing these out. You’re using a later version of GCC
than most of us use for development. This shouldn’t be a problem, but
sometimes new versions of gcc show places where we’re being sloppy.

in gr_log2_const.h, try removing the word “static”.

My main compute server is down right now. I’ll try to build
everything with GCC 4.3 later on this week.

This might help with gcc 4.3:
