BuildingAipsppOnDebianAmd64

Following the AIPS++ System Manual, doing a sneeze was straightforward enough, but lots of things failed. Specifically:

1. glish needs to be built separately. Go into code/aips/glish and type make.

2. glish needs the flex-old package to build, with newer flexes it falls over.

3. plain pgplot5 is not good enough, it needs XmPgplot.h. So I had to build PGPLOT from source, which is an extra pain.

4. linking binaries is plagued by errors such as "foo referenced in section .rodata' of bar defined in discarded section blah". Googling produced no clear answers, but suggested that binutils` may be to blame. I have therefore downgraded binutils and everything that entailed (gcc etc.) to the stable branch, let's see if the build is any better.

• 4a. OK, dowgrading binutils to binutils/stable 2.15-6 seems to have fixed the above linking errors.

5. Now the remaining problem is in casa/wcslib/wcsulex.l and wcsutrn.l:

/aips++/amd64/code/casa/wcslib/wcsulex.l: In function yy_get_next_buffer': /aips++/amd64/code/casa/wcslib/wcsulex.l:1215: warning: implicit declaration of function read' In file included from /aips++/amd64/code/casa/wcslib/wcsulex.l:1540: /usr/include/unistd.h: At top level: /usr/include/unistd.h:312: error: conflicting types for 'read' /aips++/amd64/code/casa/wcslib/wcsulex.l:1215: error: previous implicit declaration of 'read' was here """]]Oh great, this was fixed by installing flex again over flex-old. Too bad they're mutually exclusive. So, you must have one version of flex on hand to build glish, and another to build wcslib... joy of joys... 6. OK, most things actually link now. Remaining errors:
