Summary: After switching to gcc 4.6 base configure fails Project: GNUstep Submitted by: FredKiefer Submitted on: Mo 21 Nov 2011 21:04:39 GMT Category: Base/Foundation Severity: 2 - Minor Item Group: Bug Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: I upgrades OpenSuse to 12.1 which comes with gcc 4.6.2 and now configures fails to detect Objective-C support with the following error in config.log: configure:12635: checking whether objc really works configure:12665: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers -I/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -fgnu-runtime -x objective-c -L/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -L/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries conftest.c -lrt -ldl -lpthread -rdynamic -pthread -shared-libgcc -fexceptions -fgnu-runtime -L/root/GNUstep/Library/Libraries -L/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -lpthread -lobjc -lm -lpthread >&5 In file included from /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/objc/runtime.h:1:0, from ./config/objc-common.g:7, from ./config/config.objc.m:2, from conftest.c:97: /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:126:1: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:135:1: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:139:1: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:185:32: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:187:30: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:189:37: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:189:48: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:191:29: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:193:30: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:195:20: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:197:38: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:199:27: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:201:37: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h:203:30: error: unknown type name 'Method_t' In file included from ./config/config.objc.m:2:0, from conftest.c:97: ./config/objc-common.g:23:1: warning: cannot find interface declaration for 'NXConstantString' [enabled by default] configure:12669: $? = 1 configure: program exited with status 1 The first thing I notices was that the link to objc was wrong on the system: ls -l /usr/include/objc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 14. Feb 2011 /usr/include/objc -> /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/include/objc But changing this to the new objc directory didn't help. To me the problem now seems to be that the compiler picks up the runtime.h file from the previous configuration with gcc 4.5 which points to the ObjectiveC2/runtime.h instead of using the one that comes with the compiler (or rather libobjc). I think we should not include any of the GNUstep Header installation directories here. This may either be a GNUstep make error or a base error, not sure which. Removing the file /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h solves the problem. As an add-on, I see this warning a lot in the config.log file with gcc 4.6. Perhaps we need to change the check for an old runtime? ./config/objc-common.g:23:1: warning: cannot find interface declaration for 'NXConstantString' [enabled by default] _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34875> _______________________________________________ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list Bug-gnustep@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
