I replaced ‘-KPIC’ with ‘-fPIC’ in all instances in the files that you listed.
Start from a new build/; configure … ; make —> still get the same error. Then after the above failure, I noticed: libtool —config | grep pic_flag pic_flag= “ -KPIC -DPIC” libtool —config | grep CC CC=“cc” So, something is not right with these configuration variables. I am not familiar with libtool. And I tried to set export CC=gcc export pic_flag=“ -fPIC -DPIC” These did not help. Any suggestions ? hp > On Jun 29, 2016, at 8:43 PM, George Neuner <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 6/29/2016 6:00 PM, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> wrote: >> I downloaded racket 6.5 sources >> to a Sun's Sparc machine running Solaris (SunOS 5.11) >> gcc version = 4.8.1 >> >> in the build directory, I did these two steps: >> ../configure --prefix=/a/path --enable-shared >> make >> >> --> It exited with the following error message: >> >> cd sgc; make ../libmzgc.la >> make[7]: Entering ... build/racket/sgc' >> libtool --mode=compile ... -o sgc.lo >> mkdir .libs >> gcc -Wall ... -KPIC -DPIC -c .../sgc.c -o .libs/sgc.o >> gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-KPIC' >> ... >> >> I tried to look for where the option '-KPIC' was located in >> the Makefiles --> but I could not find it. >> >> Any idea what happened and how I can proceed ? >> >> thanks >> HP > > Back in the 90's I worked with SunOS5/Solaris, but this is a new one for me. > :-) > > A little searching turned up that -KPIC / -Kpic tells the Sun C compiler to > produce position independent code - the case of the flag determines the > maximum size of the global offset table.
