Hi, trying to build/run MESS for Raspberry Pi. I know this has been discussed a bit in the past, but I didn't find a lot of help in that thread. I also know that the expected experience is poor, but I wanted to see for myself. So....
RPi out of the box cannot compile latest MESS SVN without getting a compiler error (gcc 4.6). Using 4.7 I can build and link both mess and messd (the later requires 2GB of swap--use an external HD).
For 4.7 I had to add -Wno-error=narrowing -Wno-error=attributes to avoid C++11 issue with narrowing and inlining. I can post the make output if you all want to look at the warnings.
I get a segfault when I try to run mess, here's the backtrace:
Code
