Description

rsync -av --delete svn.perl.org::parrot-HEAD parrot  &&  cd parrot && perl Configure.pl && make parrot_utils

This looks to me like a make failure, i.e., a failure that has nothing specifically to do with make parrot_utils.

Do you get this error when you simply call make?

Can you post your myconfig information? The OS/platform combination is likely to be relevant here?

Thank you very much.

Replying to jkeenan:

OTOH, I concede that make parrot_utils does not seem to require that Parrot itself be built. From Makefile:

parrot_utils : $(PDUMP) $(DIS) $(PINFO) $(PDB) $(PBCMERGE) $(PBC_TO_EXE) $(PARROT_CONFIG)

This does not require make target all to have succeeded.

Your command here is pulling from the old repository's rsync mirrors, which stopped updating after the repository switched to parrot.org.

Using Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC, I was able to call make, make clean and then make parrot_utils all successfully. So my original hunch was wrong: You should be able to call make parrot_utils without a pre-existing Parrot executable.

So let me speculate. You have a configuration problem at auto::readline:

auto::readline -      Does your platform support readline...dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _rl_get_keymap
  Referenced from: /private/var/folders/Ag/AgvwlP-c2Rqw7++BYodms++++TI/-Tmp-/k9PDlLzxnS/parrot/./test_19588
  Expected in: dynamic lookup

dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_get_keymap
  Referenced from: /private/var/folders/Ag/AgvwlP-c2Rqw7++BYodms++++TI/-Tmp-/k9PDlLzxnS/parrot/./test_19588
  Expected in: dynamic lookup

.............done.

We saw this problem quite a bit about a year ago (see  RT 52212 and  RT 56030) and I don't think we ever fully corrected it. On Darwin/PPC, I do not get the problem -- but there were points where people proposed patches that did give me the problem. But I believe the problem does occur on different combinations of OS X version and chip (perhaps the early 10.5s on PPC).

I suspect that the problem at config step auto::readline is connected to the fact that it was while attempting to configure the Parrot debugger that your parrot_utils blew up.

I tried this with trunk on the same machine, and while I still get many of the same warnings, parrot_utils builds successfully and make fulltest passes all tests as well.

Motion to close this ticket and open up tickets to fix warnings.

Does that imply that your original post was not run on trunk?

jkeenan: As I noted in comment #3:

"Your command here is pulling from the old repository's rsync mirrors, which stopped updating after the repository switched to parrot.org."

So, he was not pulling from parrot.org's trunk, no. He was getting whatever the last revision was on the old perl.org servers.
