[campcaster-dev] TypeInfoHelper.cpp:27: error: 'free' was not declared in this scope

    Hi folks!

    I was trying to compile trunk on Ubuntu(Studio) 8.10 (intrepid), with all
    the packages installed that are required to compile, according to
    DevelopmentEnvironment (for Hardy). But unfortunately, I'm getting this
    error:

    TypeInfoHelper.cpp: In static member function 'static std::string CppUnit::TypeInfoHelper::getClassName(const std::type_info&)':
    TypeInfoHelper.cpp:27: error: 'free' was not declared in this scope

    What is here the problem? "TypeInfoHelper" sounds like a part of a runtime
    system, which is probably why you're using free() in C++. But how do I fix
    the error?

    Thanks in advance!
    Greetings,

    As checked via IRC, cppunit is installed system-wide.
    The box is running x86-64, with gcc-4.3.2, if this is important...

    Hi Fabiano,

    A quick fix is to comment out the "make cppunit install" line in the
    Makefile (under tools_setup). It is not needed to run the app, only
    for the tests.

    Are you sure you have the package libcppunit-dev installed? The
    configure script is supposed to check for this and not try to compile
    it if it's already there. It may be broken, of course.

    Regards,
    Ferenc

    Hmm...not found anything like tools_setup or "make cppunit install" here.
    As probably not stated above, i've checked out trunk from SVN:

    $ svn checkout svn://code.campware.org/campcaster/trunk/campcaster

    > Are you sure you have the package libcppunit-dev installed?

    $ aptitude search libcppunit-dev
    i libcppunit-dev - Unit Testing Library for C++

    Thank you for your help! Smile
