New description:
As noted at #9099, Maxima fails to build properly on !OpenSolaris x64. The
ticket then went onto discuss specific doctest failures on 32-bit Solaris
n x86.
However, the reason Maxima was not working on !OpenSolaris is totally
unrelated and '''much''' wider. It has nothing to do with Maxima, but is
almost certainly an issue with ECL.
Hence it seemed wise to open a ticket specific for this.
The problem is that the link-editor thinks the ecl shared library contains
text relocations, which is why there was an error like
{{{
ld.so.1: ecl: fatal: relocation error: R_AMD64_PC32: file
/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.4.2/local/lib//libecl.so: symbol main: value
0x22800097de04 does not fit
}}}
There's a command given on this Sun blog
http://blogs.sun.com/rie/entry/my_relocations_don_t_fit
which will show libraries with this problem.
== !OpenSolaris on x64 ==
I built the latest ECL snapshot outside of Sage, and run the suggested
command on the ECL library. Note, this a different version of ECL built at
a later date.
{{{
drkir...@hawk:/tmp/ecl$ ./configure
drkir...@hawk:/tmp/ecl$ make
}}}
then the all important:
{{{
drkir...@hawk:/tmp/ecl$ elfdump -d ./build/libecl.so | fgrep TEXTREL
[23] TEXTREL 0
[31] FLAGS 0x4 [ TEXTREL ]
}}}
which indicates a problem - there should be no output from that.
It's also suggested to compile with some debugging information:
{{{
$ export LD_OPTIONS=-Dreloc,detail
$ unset MAKE
$ make
}}}
A full log is attached of that.
