RE: [ng-spice] I'm back, where is the "new" Spice14
Wow, things are certainly "hotting up" on the ngspice
list. Is it 'cos the Universities are back ?
Nothing has happened all summer, and the latest version,
as far as I know, is the "pre3" version on the ftp site:-
ftp://ieee.ing.uniroma1.it/pub/ng-spice/experimental/ng-spice-rework-14pre3.
tgz
There seem to be a few people having problems with it, though.
One thing that may help those people (or may not) is that
we were having a lot of portability problems because we
were using the asprintf function, which most libraries,
other than the GNU one, don't seem to have. Paolo added
some stuff to mimic this if it wasn't available, but I
don't think the ./configure script automatically detects
it, if it's available. (Actually, I just looked, and there's
something in there to try to detect it, but it didn't
work on my system).
Before Jon Engelbert found the bug, the only way I could
get it to run without segfaults was to manually edit one
of the files to make it use asprintf. I can't remember which
file it was, though, 'cos it was a while ago. I'd suggest
config.h as a place to start.
I just had a wee look, and it looks like you need
#define HAVE_ASPRINTF
in config.h, if you want to use asprintf(). Obviously,
this'll only work if your library provides asprintf().
