Just did some testing on a redhat vm I had on my other computer. On a fresh tba with updated configure.in and configure script it seems to build with gcc14 without all the other messing about
. Only thing is if you have edited your makefile manually will probably recreate it from the Makefile.in. It doesn't seem to have the PIE issue, maybe due to the configure file taking care of that. Below is more or less what I did (might have missed something in the copy)
Code:
sudo yum install git
-- install autotools
sudo yum install autoconf automake
sudo yum install gcc
git clone https://github.com/tbamud/tbamud
cd cnf
--updates the configure.in
autoupdate
-- updates the configure script
autoconf
--move the configure script down a directory, replacing the old one
mv configure ..
cd ..
--configure will recreate your makefile using Makefile.in (so beware)
./configure
cd src
make
--don't remember if gnu debugger was already there
sudo yum install gdb
--
cd ..
gdb bin/circle lib/core
run
...
