Compiling in Quantal (Ubuntu 12.10)

[arski]

Getting these errors:

make compiling libsvm_wrap.cxx libsvm_wrap.cxx: In function ‘void SWIG_Ruby_define_class(swig_type_info_)’: libsvm_wrap.cxx:1284:9: warning: variable ‘klass’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] libsvm_wrap.cxx: In function ‘int SWIG_AsCharPtrAndSize(VALUE, char__, size_t_, int_)’: libsvm_wrap.cxx:1707:30: error: ‘STR2CSTR’ was not declared in this scope make: *_* [libsvm_wrap.o] Error 1

Any idea how to fix?

PS. If I try to install the gem from this repo, and not the 'libsvm-ruby-swig', I also get a bunch of errors like the following:

libsvm_wrap.cxx: In function ‘VALUE _wrap_svm_parameter_svm_type_set(int, VALUE*, VALUE)’: libsvm_wrap.cxx:2144:5: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security] libsvm_wrap.cxx:2149:5: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]

These are the same as in many other gems, e.g. https://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine/issues/345 - should be an easy enough fix.

Cheers

I think this was fixed in liblinear-ruby-swig with this pull request https://github.com/tomz/liblinear-ruby-swig/commit/719b3076aa8aa81daf0af73a6680fd76ec6d7fc2, looks like we have the same issue here, feel free to patch it the same way. I will take a look at this once I have a dev environment set up for Ubuntu 12.10

+1 please relook at this. More and more folks on Ubuntu 12.10 now

...thankfully user EbookGlue has a fork that fixes this. The following worked on Ubuntu 14.04:
