Installing Ice 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 12.04: test 42 fails

Dear All,

I am new to Ice.
Our group is linux based, we use Ubuntu 12.04. For a cooperation, we need to install Ice 3.4.2. We want to develop in C++. I use a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 op system, g++ 4.6.3 as compiler.

We tried several things, let me sketch some of those.

We tried to build ice from source. After installing the third party sources we do the following.
The first run of make (in the cpp folder) complains : ptrdiff_t does not name a type. We added a line
# include <cstddef>
in file Ice/Config.h
(We also tried to compile with g++-4.5, where this hack is not needed: the result is the same.)
Then make goes through without an error, but make test fails with the following error:

Can you help me sort this out, please?

    In the test case that's failing, the client specifies IceSSL.Protocols=ssl3 and the server specifies IceSSL.Protocols=tls1; the test expects the connection to fail because they have no protocol in common.

    That failure happens because new protocols were added to OpenSSL, IceSSL.Protocols doesn't know how to filter the new protocols. The issue has been fixed in Ice 3.5.

    It shouldn't be a problem if you aren't using IceSSL.Protocols but should be better to upgrade to 3.5.1.

    Dear Jose,

    Thank you for your answer.
    The problem is that our partner has a windows based project that we want to cooperate with, and they use Ice 3.4.2. We started our component with Ice 3.5.1 (which compiled smoothly under linux, tests succeeded, too), but when we tried to communicate with the other component (using Ice 3.4.2 under windows) we got the error:

    We arrived at the conclusion that we both should use Ice 3.4.2 (our partner is not ready to switch to 3.5.1). Is there really such an incompatibility between these 2 versions, or we are missing something?

    I also started to wonder whether the other tests go through, so I disabled the first 42 tests, and ran make test. I got a failure with IceGrid.

    Is this again something fixed in Ice 3.5?

    Hi,

    Regarding your problem with 3.4.2 and 3.5 interoperability read this Interoperability between Ice 3.5 and prior releases.

    Regarding to the IceGrid/deployer test failure that issue was fixed in 3.5 too, the failure was related to different behavior of getline under gcc-4.6, that compiler isn't a supported platform for Ice-3.4.2.
