[sword-devel] compile error on (x)ubuntu 11.10 : "_FTPLIB_NO_COMPAT" redefined

[Paul A. Martel]

I'm trying to build sword according to the instructions @

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordapi/

After checking out trunk and running autogen and usrinst,
I get the following error from the "make" command:

cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors

make[1]: *** [ftplibftpt.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/p/xulsword/built_sword/lib'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

After the first time this happened, I noticed that I did not have
ftplib3 or ftplib-dev packages installed.  So I installed them
and tried the whole process again from a clean copy of the
svn source tree. This seemed to make no difference.

Indeed, the command line established by the configuration scripts
is defining a macro that is also defined (identically) in the header.
It would be easy enough for me to remove it from the header or
qualify it with an #ifndef, slightly harder (for me) to dig through how
it's getting into the make command and remove it there, but what's the
RIGHT thing to do?

I guess I'll take the #ifndef approach for now, though I hadn't
been planning on patching the sword code (quite yet).

Any help?
Thanks,
