Hi all. Some build gotchas which I haven't seen reported (which
makes me wonder what stupid thing I did that others have not).
Setup is Solaris 2.5, ghc-3.02.
Firstly: gnumake all fails in build gmp, thusly:
gnumake -C gmp MAKEFLAGS=
cd mpn; gnumake "CC=../../ghc/driver/ghc " "CFLAGS=-O" "XCFLAGS=" libmpn.a
gnumake[3]: Entering directory
`/export/home/ferguson/ghc-4.00/build/ghc/rts/gmp/mpn'
../../ghc/driver/ghc -c -I. -I.. -I. -I./.. -O mp_bases.c
gnumake[3]: ../../ghc/driver/ghc: Command not found
Looks like it needs to be using ../../../../ghc/driver/ghc at this
point, so far as I can tell.
Hacking around this, I then get some assembler problems:
../../../../ghc/driver/ghc -c tmp-udiv_fp.s -o udiv_fp.o
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "tmp-udiv_fp.s", line 1: error: invalid character (0x7b)
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "tmp-udiv_fp.s", line 1: error: invalid character (0x4c)
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "tmp-udiv_fp.s", line 1: error: unknown opcode "LINE"
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "tmp-udiv_fp.s", line 1: error: invalid character (0x7d)
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "tmp-udiv_fp.s", line 1: error: statement syntax
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "tmp-udiv_fp.s", line 38: error: statement syntax
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "tmp-udiv_fp.s", line 39: error: unknown opcode "C_SYMBOL_NAME"
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "tmp-udiv_fp.s", line 39: error: statement syntax
Offending lines look like:
{-# LINE 1 "udiv_fp.S" -}
(Unrecognised comment, it seems.) and:
.global C_SYMBOL_NAME(__udiv_qrnnd)
C_SYMBOL_NAME(__udiv_qrnnd):
(Which is bad label syntax.)
Then I get 83 million similiar errors in tmp-add_n.s, in the same place.
At this point I lost the will to live, much less debug assembler by
hand. Satnam Singh suggests the problem is a missing include of a
bunch of as-macros which make the above make sense, if that helps.
Slan libh,
