Do you mean on Linux?
There is a known bug in the build system.
The Judy code will not build correctly with gcc 4.8 or higher
without the switch
-fno-aggressive-loop-optimization
Felix detects this by trying to run
gcc-4.8
in the configuration phase. Here's the code in lpsrc/flx_maker.pak
@select(tangler('host/config/toolchain.fpc'))
@if pyconfig.MACOSX:
tangle("toolchain: toolchain_clang_osx")
elif pyconfig.HAVE_MSVC:
tangle("toolchain: toolchain_msvc_win32")
else:
result = os.system("gcc-4.8 --version")
if result == 0:
tangle("toolchain: toolchain_gcc48_linux")
else:
tangle("toolchain: toolchain_gcc_linux")
If you have any other name for it, such as
gcc, gcc-4.9, or whatever the check fails. I should fix this.
The crash in the GC is almost certainly due to this problem. Judy library
definitely crashes under gcc without the switch.
A temporary fix: add a hard link into your system named gcc-4.8
to your gcc. After the build you can remove it.
