Hello,
I have an error while building GST 3.2 on SPARC Linux
(sparc-unknown-linux2.6.17.8-gnu-glibc2.3)
Here are the last log lines:
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/smalltalk-3.2'
./gst --no-user-files --kernel-dir "./kernel" --image gst.im -iQ /dev/null
make[2]: *** [gst.im] Bus error
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/smalltalk-3.2'
So, the problem seems happens while compiling the initial smalltalk image.
I have searched through the mailing list archive about that kind of "Bus
error", and it seems that
they are triggered by faultly bytecode generation.
Is this a known issue with SPARC architecture? If so, is there a
work-around (such as deactivating some optimisations
of the compiler, or maybe the JIT entirely)?
The JIT is not active by default. A backtrace can help, you can try
./libtool --mode=execute gdb --args ./gst <rest of command line above>
handle SIGSEGV noprint
run
bt
Also, can you try the latest git instead of 3.2? I plan to release
3.2.1 in a few days. I honestly don't believe it will improve the
situation, but just to be sure.
