Problem installing Cando

[kellonb]

Dear Developers,

I am at the build stage. I have installed the dependencies of Cando,
./build-more-systems.sh configure build_cboehm install_cboehm

I am getting an error at this point.
../../include/clasp/core/array.h:1058:85: error: no member named 'initial_element_from_object' in 'geom::SimpleVectorCoordinate_O'
gctools::smart_ptr<simple_type> newData = simple_type::make(size,simple_type::initial_element_from_object(initElement,initElementSupplied),true,initialContentsSize,&(*sv)[start]);

Can you help with this?

Are you using the dev branch for both Cando and Clasp?

[kellonb]

I am using the dev branch for Clasp. I clone clasp after installing the dependencies and did a branch checkout from dev and git pull. After that I followed the instructions on the installation page for cando

I ask because initial_element_from_object is a function that was removed several months ago. Your error specifically looks like your Clasp is from that time ago and still wants that function, but your Cando is too new to have it. Could you double check that your Clasp is up to date? If you run git log -n 1 --oneline in the Clasp source directory, what do you see? It should be one of the recent commits here: https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/commits/dev

Alright, well, I just checked that commit, and even the text initial_element_from_object appears nowhere in the source. I don't know why you are seeing this error. Try running ./waf distclean first to ensure everything from any previous builds is removed?
