Hi,
I'm trying to get GHC built on Solaris x86 (somewhat old version of
it too -- not my choice).
uname -a
SunOS queeg 5.9 Generic_122301-19 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
Here is how I configured ghc:
./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-gcc=/local/solaris/apps/gcc-4.0.2/
bin/gcc --with-gas=/local/solaris/apps/binutils-2.16.1/bin/as --with-
ld=/local/solaris/apps/binutils-2.16.1/bin/ld --with-gmp-includes=/
local/solaris86/apps/gmp-4.2.1/include/ --with-gmp-libraries=/local/
solaris86/apps/gmp-4.2.1/lib/
I think the --with-gas setting is bogus, but I was clutching at
straws :)
After a while the build crashes when executing this command:
../compiler/ghc-inplace -optc-O -optc-Wall -optc-W -optc-Wstrict-
prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-declarations -
optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return -optc-I../includes -optc-I. -
optc-Iparallel -optc-Ism -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -optc-fomit-frame-
pointer -optc-I/local/solaris86/apps/gmp-4.2.1/include/ -optc-I../gmp/
gmpbuild -optc-fno-strict-aliasing -optc-w -H16m -O -optc-O2 -package-
name rts -static -I/local/solaris86/apps/gmp-4.2.1/include/ -I../gmp/
gmpbuild -I. -#include HCIncludes.h -dcmm-lint -c StgCRun.c -o
StgCRun.o
Assembler: StgCRun.c
"/tmp/ghc17357_0/ghc17357_0.s", line 18 : Illegal mnemonic
"/tmp/ghc17357_0/ghc17357_0.s", line 18 : Syntax error
"/tmp/ghc17357_0/ghc17357_0.s", line 18 : Illegal mnemonic
make[1]: *** [StgCRun.o] Error 1
make: *** [stage1] Error 1
After looking in the offending assembly file, I see that the "illegal
mnemonic" is caused by the use of "global" instead of "globl":
.global StgReturn
The sun assembler chokes on that line, but the gnu assembler is okay
with it.
One question is: can I use gas as the assembler instead of the
solaris as? How do I get that to work?
However, I would like to get to the bottom of the error.
My suspicion is that the use of "global" is not coming from the C
compiler (gcc), but from the evil mangler perl script.
All other occurrences are spelt "globl", which is why I made my
hypothesis about the mangler.
I'm not knowledgeable enough about the mangler to know if this is
true, and a moment of browsing didn't make me
any wiser. I can't see why gcc would use two different spellings of
"globl".
Is there a way forward?
Cheers,
Bernie.
