Error running make - array type has incomplete element type












0















I am trying to install libbow library. When i run make file the following error is generated



gcc -c   -Ibow -I. -I./argp -DHAVE_LIBNSL=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY=1 -DHAVE_RANDOM=1 -DHAVE_SRANDOM=1 -DHAVE_SETENV=1 -DHAVE_STRCHR=1 -DHAVE_STRRCHR=1 -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H=1  -g -O -Wall -Wimplicit -o array.o array.c
In file included from array.c:22:
./bow/libbow.h:2128: error: array type has incomplete element type
make: *** [array.o] Error 1


The Source of libbow is :http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mccallum/bow/src/
(The latest version)



Search results showed it as a compiler problem. How to resolve this? Or is there any other source for libbow?

The error points line 2128 of bow/libbow.h



extern struct argp_child bow_argp_children; 


It means that struct argp_child is not defined.



I noticed that in line 1346 there is a forward declaration of the structure.



struct argp_child;      /* forward declare this type */


The full declaration of the structure is in line 245 of argp/argp.h



To resolve this issue you can either





  • Use include of argp.h in libbow.h



    i.e #include "../argp/argp.h"



  • Copy struct argp_child definition in libbow.h (not recommended)



An other thought is that you might compiling array.c from wrong directory and -Ibow -I. -I./argp does not point to the correct directories.
