Cannot make VW34 (Oxford Active Vision Lab libraries) in Ubuntu 8.0.4

Question

I'm trying to make a pretty obscure app called VW34 which is a computer vision library that uses openGL. I'm getting an error during make after most of the app compiles successfully "GeomObjects/point3d.cpp:88: error: ‘VW::Point3D VW::operator+(const VW::Point3D&, const VW::Point3D&)’ should have been declared inside ‘VW’" .

Supposedly the code for this compiles cleanly on my system (Ubuntu 8.0.4.2). So I am probably missing some dependency but I have no idea which. I am using gcc-4.1 and automake1.9 (required according to the README).

Here are the installation structions I have followed to the letter from a fresh install of the same OS used by the README creator: http://people.mech.kuleuven.be/~tdelaet/installation_scenlibEXTRA.txt

Here is the output from successive runs of make:

Answer 1

You are not missing any dependency, the code is simply broken.

The following code:

namespace VW {
  struct Foo {
      friend Foo operator+(const Foo&, const Foo&);
  };
}
VW::Foo VW::operator+(const Foo& lhs, const Foo& rhs) { return lhs; }

produces the same error from gcc-4.1, but compiles with gcc-3.4 (the code was written in 2004, when gcc-3.4 was current).

Fortunately, there is a trivial fix:

namespace VW {
  struct Foo {
      friend Foo operator+(const Foo&, const Foo&);
  };
  Foo operator+(const Foo& lhs, const Foo& rhs); // FIX
}
VW::Foo VW::operator+(const Foo& lhs, const Foo& rhs) { return lhs; }
