Error compiling dhrystone in Unix… here is a solution to the problem.
Error compiling dhrystone in Unix
I’m new to benchmarking and makefiles. I downloaded the Dhrystone benchmark from the link below and I’m trying to compile it, but I’m getting a strange error. I tried to solve it but I didn’t succeed. Can someone help me run the dhrystone benchmark?
Here are two different ways I tried to compile. But both give the same error result 🙁
Link: http://fossies.org/unix/privat/old/dhrystone-2.1.tar.gz/
Try compiling the command:
gcc -g dhry.h dhry_1.c dhry_2.c -o dhrystonex
make all
Error:
gcc -O -DTIMES -DHZ=60 dhry_1.c dhry_2.c -o gcc_dry2
dhry_1.c:31:18: warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘malloc’ [enabled by default]
dhry_1.c:48:17: error: conflicting types for ‘times’
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/sys/times.h:49:16: note: previous declaration of ‘times’ was here
dhry_1.c: In function ‘main’:
dhry_1.c:98:3: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strcpy’ [enabled by default]
dhry_1.c:124:11: warning: ignoring return value of ‘scanf’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
make: *** [gcc_dry2] Error 1
Solution
Make the following changes. A line preceded by a -
indicates that you should delete the line. A line preceded by a +
indicates that you should add. In total, you’ll replace two lines (by prefixing them with a #include
) and add a new line (a :
).
