Hi,
I've run into problems using gcc/g++/g77 in the gcc-3.4 locker on an Athena
9.4 alpha Sun.
As a test case, building the graphviz-2.2.1 package fails, with errors about
undefined symbols or parse errors (the exact point it bombs out and the error
reported changes as one fiddles around with various configure options, but
it always fails at some point). I put a copy of this in my Public folder-
graphviz-2.2.1.tar.gz if you want to experiment with it.
I set LDFLAGS to "-L/usr/athena/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib" and CPPFLAGS to
"-I/usr/athena/include -I/usr/sfw/lib", did "add -f gcc-3.4" and ran
configure as:
./configure CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O2 followed by
gmake
I also found that:
Using the default gcc (/usr/sfw/bin/gcc) in the Athena 9.4 release works fine.
Using the gcc-3.4 locker gcc on an Athena 9.3 machine works fine.
In googling around a bit, I saw various comments that gcc needs to have
headers fixed to make it run on Solaris 10, with references to a script that's
supposed to do this. I'm not sure of exactly what needs to be done, or if a
rebuild of gcc on Solaris 10 is necessary- or if the same installation of gcc
can work for both Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 machines.
Alex
