I need to install a program (tipsy) that is used to visualize galaxies simulation (my physics professor recommended it to me and he is using it too).
I tried to install it, I created the makefile but when I run it I get an error for the following piece of code:
framepoints(job)
char job[MAXCOMM] ;
{
char command[MAXCOMM] ;
char file_root[MAXCOMM] ;
char particle_type[MAXCOMM] ;
int box ;
struct gas_particle *gp ;
struct dark_particle *dp ;
struct star_particle *sp ;
double part_pos[2] ;
int i,j,k ;
char projection_type[MAXCOMM] ;
if (sscanf(job,"%s %d %s %s",command,&box,
particle_type,file_root) == 4) {
if(strcmp(particle_type,"star") != 0 &&
strcmp(particle_type,"gas") != 0 &&
strcmp(particle_type,"dark") != 0 &&
strcmp(particle_type,"gasandstar") != 0 &&
strcmp(particle_type,"darkandstar") != 0 &&
strcmp(particle_type,"darkandgas") != 0 &&
strcmp(particle_type,"all") != 0) {
printf("<sorry, %s is not a particle option, %s>\n",
particle_type,title) ;
return ;
}
The error says:
non-void function 'framepoints' should return a value
I understood that this return without any value is from versions before C89 but I don't know how to solve it. The code I need to run in order to install it is long so I can't modify it by hand (and also my professor told me it is working).
Change the line
return;
to
return 0;
or something like that to fix this problem. Optionally, pass the option
-Wno-return-type
to the compiler (if you are using clang
, the default compiler on OS X) to make this not an error.
