I'm trying to compile the Neko VM on Mac OS X (10.5.7) using GCC 4.01 and I'm completely stuck, because it stops while compiling saying:
vm/threads.c:202: error: conflicting types for 'neko_thread_register'
vm/neko_vm.h:37: error: previous declaration of 'neko_thread_register' was here
I've tried googling this and some say it's because of lack of a "prototype" and some say it's because of a header include being done several times, and I can't really find any of those.
The affected line in threads.c:202 looks like this:
EXTERN bool neko_thread_register( bool t ) {
And the affected line in neko_vm.h:37 looks like this:
EXTERN bool neko_thread_register( bool t );
I can't see any difference in them, besides one of them being the implementation of the other.
The compiler command I'm using is:
cc -Wall -O3 -v -fPIC -fomit-frame-pointer -I vm -D_GNU_SOURCE -arch i386 -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib -I/opt/local/include -o vm/threads.o -c vm/threads.c
I'd appreciate some ideas on what i might be able to do here, I don't really know where to go from here.
A mirror of the code for Neko which I'm trying to compile can be found here.
Thanks!
