What are your Configure.pl args?

I usually build for gcc with --cc=gcc --ccflags= --link=ld

[jsut]

I was attempting to build with no arguments to configure, the output of Configure.pl is below. If i run Configure.pl with the arguments you list, i get errors. I tried a couple of variations, and it kept blowing up. I've also svn updated to 36634 and the build is still failing the same way.

I think the problem is that you're using Sun's ld, but the hints file incorrectly assumes you're using an ld that understands the -rpath syntax.

Probably the best fix is to have parrot just use the -R syntax on Solaris. I believe (but haven't verified) that GNU's ld on Solaris will handle -R. Alternatively, Configure.pl could probe and figure out which flavor of ld is being used and set flags accordingly. This is doable (Perl 5's Configure does this) but probably unnecessary for this one flag.

I've attached a patch that just uses -R. Does that help?

[doughera]

Patch replacing -Wl,-rpath= with a plain -R.

[doughera]

I can confirm I hit the same error message on Solaris/SPARC. I think my rpath.patch (attached) will fix it for me and for the original poster, but I can't test if it will fix it for those who are using GNU ld.

[jsut]

I just updated to r36813 and applied that patch, and now the build fails for me at a different point.

So it appears the rpath patch works, but I still have build issues.

[rurban]

The original error was using -Wl,-rpath= instead of -Wl,--rpath= That's why we got the strange

ld: fatal: option -dn and -P are incompatible

error.

-R is a bit fragile on gcc:

• -R FILE, --just-symbols FILE Just link symbols (if directory, same as --rpath)

If --rpath works on gcc we better stay with the original version and just fix the missing -

jsut's last PGE "argument doesn't hash" error is a known build problem. You have to update your root Makefile and/or rm src/call/*.str make realclean missed to clean that file for a short period.

[rurban]

Forget my last comment about -Wl,--rpath. I mixed that up.

rpath.patch applied as r36855

[jsut]

r36860 builds fine on that box. Thanks.
