I was unable to get M5 2.0 b1 building after downloading it (on a Linux
2.6.9 box with SWIG 1.3.29, scons 0.96.92, and Python 2.4). I added the
following to the SConstruct script (right under "Other default libraries")
in order to make M5 build:
-----------
# Added by Adam to work
env.Append(LIBS = ['dl'])
env.Append(LIBS = ['util'])
env.Append(LIBS = ['pthread'])
# In the following, /path/to/local/python means the path to my local
# Python 2.4 installation
env.Append(LIBPATH = ['/path/to/local/python/lib/python2.4/config'])
-----------
Note: on this system, my PATH is set up to find the local python
installation first.
With the above additional libs and libpath, I was able to get M5 built,
but the remaining tests generated by the command
$ scons build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick"
did not work:
-----------
build/ALPHA_SE/m5.debug -d
build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick/00.hello/alpha/linux/simple-atomic
tests/run.py quick/00.hello/alpha/linux/simple-atomic >
build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick/00.hello/alpha/linux/simple-atomic/stdout
2>
build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick/00.hello/alpha/linux/simple-atomic/stderr
***** build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick/00.hello/alpha/linux/simple-atomic

...
***** build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick/00.hello/alpha/linux/simple-timing

FAILED!
...
*****
build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick/20.eio-short/alpha/eio/simple-timing
FAILED!
-----------
To see why this was the case, I executed
$ build/ALPHA_SE/m5.debug
and saw the following (with the actual path to Python replaced by
/path/to/local/python):
-----------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?

undefined symbol: PyString_Type
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'm5' is not defined
-----------
The symbol PyString_Type should be defined inside libpython2.4.a, I
believe. This library resides in
/path/to/local/python/lib/python2.4/config. After playing around with
this a bit, I am unable to figure out a solution. Do you have any idea
what might be happening?
Thanks!
