Some Linux distributions have started building their packages with -Werror=format-security. The polymake build almost succeeds in building with that flag, but needs this patch (against the 2.14 release) to succeed all the way: --- lib/core/src/perl/RefHash.xs.orig 2015-03-04 05:51:50.000000000 -0700...

A rebuild of Fedora Rawhide for perl 5.18 has begun. The polymake package failed to rebuild. The latest snapshot is still from May, before the perl 5.18 fix was committed, so I cannot see what you did. Is there any chance you could share the perl 5.18 update with me so I can fix the Fedora package b...

I just experienced a polymake segfault. The problem is that apps/polytope/src/lrs_interface.cc has this code on line 313: Q=lrs_alloc_dat(0); and here is a snippet from the lrslib code: lrs_dat * lrs_alloc_dat (char *name) { lrs_dat *Q; ... Q->name=(char *) CALLOC ((unsigned) strlen(name)+1, sizeof ...

Excellent! Thank you very much, Ben.

If extracting the fix is too difficult, can you give me read-only access to your subversion repository, and I will extract the fix myself? Thanks.

Could somebody either post the fix for perl 5.16, or send it directly to me? I have a polymake package all ready to submit to Fedora for review, and just need this fix. Thanks.

Funny enough, I could not reproduce this. Actually, the parts of the callable library depend on conf.make created by configure.pl in the working build directory, while the file being rewritten during 'make install' is its copy in the destination directory, so that they shouldn't interfere. Probably...

This is the last problem for now, I think. I see two undefined symbols in tropical.so. They are C++ symbols, which demangle to: polymake::tropical::tropicalize(pm::Polynomial<pm::UniPolynomial<pm::Rational, pm::Rational>, int> const&) polymake::tropical::pointlift(pm::Vector<pm::Rational> const&...

Ah, excellent news! Yes, my contribution is under the same license as your code, GPL version 2 or later. As for the bundling problem, we can approach that in multiple ways. If you can make your changes public (post patches on a web site, for example), I can see whether we can simply adopt them into ...
