optional spkg nauty-24b7.p1 fails to build with sage-4.2.1 and ubuntu 9.10 (gcc-4.4.1)

sage: An error occurred while installing nauty-24b7.p1

[was]

I confirmed that this is a problem with the latest nauty 2.4 as well.
I've sent a message to the nauty mailing list.

Thanks,

Using sage 4.3.4.alpha1 on Solaris 10 (SPARC) and don't even get as far as you do on Ununta. Instead I get problems with:

​http://dcsmail.anu.edu.au/pipermail/nauty-list/2009-November/000546.html

shows Brendan's reply to Jason as well as possible work-arounds.

Using -ansi did not work reporting same problem if put in CFLAGS and gave other errors (below) if put in CC definition:

...
gcc -ansi -o genrang -O4  genrang.c nausparse.o \
                gtools.o nautil.o naututil.o naugraph.o rng.o
genrang.c: In function ‘main’:
genrang.c:405: error: storage size of ‘nauty_tz’ isn’t known
make: *** [genrang] Error 1

however, his other suggestion, did make a compile work:

sed -i 's/getline/readline/g' gtools-h.in
sed -i 's/getline/readline/g' shortg.c
sed -i 's/getline/readline/g' gtools.c
./configure
make

I'm not sure how to test that this doesn't brake anything within sage though.

In a personal email from Brendan McKay (author):

Version 2.5 has some serious changes and won't be released for a while. An alternative to changing multiple files would be to insert

#define getline gtools_getline

into nauty-h.in .

[zimmerma]

I confirm the following works (tried with sage-4.4.1 and nauty-24b7.p1.spkg):

If you insert
  #define getline nauty_getline
into gtools-h.in after all the #includes in that file, it should compile.

Thanks to Brendan McKay? for that patch. I have put an updated spkg at ​http://www.loria.fr/~zimmerma/nauty-24b7.p1.spkg. Please could someone review it?

[jason]

This spkg was horribly out of conformance with the current spkg guidelines. So I redid the spkg, upgraded to nauty 2.4 (final), and applied the above patch. The result is here: ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/nauty-24.spkg

Paul, could you in turn review the above spkg? It works for me on OSX 10.6 and Ubuntu 9.10.

[zimmerma]

Jason, sorry for the horrible spkg, this was my first spkg... Your new spkg works like a charm (tested under Fedora 12). I did not run the doctests (do they test optional packages) but the following did work:

sage: graph_list = graphs.nauty_geng("-q 3")
sage: len(graph_list)
4

(I've removed my name as author since the new spkg is your work.)

Replying to zimmerma:

Jason, sorry for the horrible spkg, this was my first spkg... Your new spkg works like a charm

Oh, I thought it was my fault, as I did the original nauty spkg, and there weren't nice guidelines back then.

(tested under Fedora 12). I did not run the doctests (do they test optional packages)

Yes, but I don't know if there are any #optional doctests for nauty in the sage library.

but the

following did work:

sage: graph_list = graphs.nauty_geng("-q 3")
sage: len(graph_list)
4

Great!
