I finally compiled LOVE on this 64-bit Arch Linux system I'm using now and I had one minor problem:

physfs/File.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool love_physfs::File::write(const char*, int)’:
physfs/File.cpp:112: error: ‘strlen’ was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [physfs/File.o] Error 1

I added #include <stdio.h> and #include <string.h> to the file physfs/File.cpp, and then compilation worked.

I had a similar problem with box2d, only with much more files, not just one as in LOVE's case.

I'm not sure what the reason is, but think that it's the stricter rules of some newer gcc or g+ version.

Thought I'd let you know.

ATTENTION FORUM ADMIN: if I replace "g+" with "g++" this post will not let me submit this post. Whaat?

I had this problem installing clanlib and i don't know if my solution is any good in this situation, but doing

Code: Select all

#include <string>

in the the file where strlen wasn't declared seemed to work. I found it odd that this lib was used in other source-files and still wasn't declared in this scope, but wtf..
