[gmx-users] Compilation problems for 3.2.1

[Ross Nobes]

Hi,

I have been compiling 3.2.1 on a Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER machine, where the C
compiler is rather unforgiving! There are two problems related to incorrect
array initialization for files in the src/tools directory. (These can also
be seen by compiling with gcc using the flag -pedantic as shown below.)

PROBLEM 1:
gmx_sgangle.c: In function `gmx_sgangle':
gmx_sgangle.c:397: initializer element is not computable at load time
gmx_sgangle.c:397: (near initialization for `pa[0].u.v')
gmx_sgangle.c:397: initializer element is not computable at load time
gmx_sgangle.c:397: (near initialization for `pa[0].u')
gmx_sgangle.c:398: initializer element is not computable at load time
gmx_sgangle.c:398: (near initialization for `pa[0]')

This can be fixed by adding the 'static' attribute to bOne:

395   static bool bOne = TRUE;

Is this a reasonable fix please?

PROBLEM 2:
make_edi.c:467: initializer element is not computable at load time
make_edi.c:467: (near initialization for `pa[0].option')
make_edi.c:468: initializer element is not computable at load time
make_edi.c:468: (near initialization for `pa[0]')
make_edi.c:469: initializer element is not computable at load time
make_edi.c:469: (near initialization for `pa[1].option')
make_edi.c:470: initializer element is not computable at load time
make_edi.c:470: (near initialization for `pa[1]')
...
make_edi.c:491: initializer element is not computable at load time
make_edi.c:491: (near initialization for `pa[12].option')
make_edi.c:492: initializer element is not computable at load time
make_edi.c:492: (near initialization for `pa[12]')

This problem is (for someone with my knowledge of C at least) a bit more
complicated! Can anyone suggest a fix for this please?

Cheers,
Ross
