Issue when making Buffers and dot2vhdl

[BowenKwan]

I was trying to make the buffer and dot2vhdl, however, I have faced some weird error.

For buffer, I got conflicts between string.h and graphviz/cdt.h

/usr/include/string.h:65:12: error: conflicting declaration of ‘int memcmp(const void*, const void*, size_t)’ with ‘C’ linkage
 extern int memcmp (const void *__s1, const void *__s2, size_t __n)
            ^~~~~~
In file included from /usr/include/graphviz/cgraph.h:17,
                 from src/DFnetlist_read_dot.cpp:4:
/usr/include/graphviz/cdt.h:242:13: note: previous declaration with ‘C++’ linkage
 extern int  memcmp _ARG_((const Void_t*, const Void_t*, size_t));
             ^~~~~~

For now I manually commented out the relevant line in graphviz/cdt.h . Is is ok to do so? After the make, I have a file name "buffers" in the bin folder, is this what I susposed to get?

For dot2vhdl, I got the following erro message

g++ -O3 -g -Wall -static -fpermissive     src/table_printer.o src/dot_parser.o src/vhdl_writer.o src/lsq_generator.o src/checks.o src/eda_if.o src/reports.o src/string_utils.o src/sys_utils.o src/dot2vhdl.o -o bin/dot2vhdl

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:62: bin/dot2vhdl] Error 1

I do not see -lc in the Makefile, and the 2 -lm are both commented out. Do you have any idea why -lm and -lc are needed and how I can get those during the make?

I am now running dynamatic on Centos 7. Latest version of Graphviz available is 2.30.1. The gcc is of version 8.3.1, from using devtoolset-8.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,

Sorry for the long lag about this.
There is any chance that you can use Ubuntu 18.4, or the VM available on dynamatic.epfl.ch?

Removing "static" in CFLAGS of makefile helped me in building "dot2vhdl" in RHEL8 and the above problem can be solved by it.
