port lang/gnustep-base - make configure fails on ia64

[Anton Shterenlikht]

On FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #0 r203484M
port lang/gnustep-base fails "make configure".

Please see the log here:
http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/gnustep-base-ia64.log

Portsmon is empty for this port, so I've no
idea if this is a regression:

Please rebuild your gcc port.
pkg_info -xo gcc-
gcc42 --version

gcc42 (GCC) 4.2.5 20090325 (prerelease)

and still get the same error.

I must say that gcc42 is marked "NOT_FOR_ARCHS= ia64 powerpc",
which I've overwritten manually.
Perhaps the fact that gcc42 now builds on ia64 doesn't
mean that is works correctly..

many thanks

I think so too.
Please try to build gnustep with a newer gcc.
Put on of the following options in /etc/make.conf
GNUSTEP_WITH_GCC43=yes
GNUSTEP_WITH_GCC44=yes

Dirk, no luck

gcc43/44/45 fail to build on ia64.
I suspect they never did.

if all this fails, put the following options in /etc/make.conf
GNUSTEP_WITH_BASE_GCC=yes

This triggers building of lang/gnustep-objc which fails as well:

===> Building for gnustep-objc-1.6.0,1
This is gnustep-make 2.2.0. Type 'gmake print-gnustep-make-help' for help.
Making all for clibrary libobjc...
Compiling file archive.c ...
archive.c:27:21: error: tconfig.h: No such file or directory
gmake[2]: *** [obj/archive.c.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [internal-library-all_] Error 2
gmake: *** [libobjc.all.clibrary.variables] Error 2
*** Error code 2


It seems gcc doesn't like ia64 at all.

many thanks
anton

[Anton Shterenlikht]

last try put both in /etc/make.conf
GNUSTEP_WITH_BASE_GCC=yes
GNUSTEP_WITHOUT_LIBOBJC=yes

Dirk

this seems to have worked

many thanks

This is the problem:

/usr/local/lib/gcc42/gcc/ia64-portbld-freebsd9.0/4.2.5/../../../libobjc.so: undefined reference to `***@GCC_3.0'
/usr/local/lib/gcc42/gcc/ia64-portbld-freebsd9.0/4.2.5/../../../libobjc.so: undefined reference to `***@GCC_3.0'

The libobjc on FreeBSD/ia64 is missing 2 functions.

I tried to check and got this:
