The SGI compiler isn't without issues either. If I try to use it to compile GTK, the compiler segfaults.

It happens every time you link to the thread library without linking to the mpi library (and if you DO link with the mpi library the same thing happens with another library and so on).

The version of gcc is 3.4.0. It seems to me like the compiler supports the feature just fine (which the configure script detects correctly). But that the linker (gld 2.15) doesn't. Perhaps it is as easy as upgrading binutils (I will try that later). At least we can rule out that any part of glib (including the configure script) is to blame, right? ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

What gcc version is that ? Does it support visibility attributes ? Does configure think it supports visibility ? Does configuring with --disable-visibility help ?

Linking glib with gld in Irix
I have problems building glib (2.6.6) in Irix using GCC, gas and gld (no, I don't forget to use --with-gnu-ld). It fails then linking glib-genmarshal against glib because some symbols, including g_malloc cannot be found. Then I examine the glib library (using GNU objdump) I see than most symbols are marked hidden, for example: 60017e80 l F *ABS* .hidden IA__g_malloc While a few are not, for example: 600354bc g F *ABS* g_strcasecmp I have no idea what that means. I guess it's the reason for the failure, but why does it happen? Is it some feature that doesn't work as expected on irix, or does it expect some irix feature not supported by gld maybe? ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
