On 26-Oct-01, Jeff Wiegley, Ph.D. said something totally profound about Build problems on Solaris 7 and 8. that made me ponder...
JWP> The only useful question in this message is: JWP> JWP> How do I pass "-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib" to everything while JWP> configuring and compiling MySQL? CXXFLAGS? JWP> Please don't tell me about adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH to JWP> my profile. That's just plain dumb when you should be JWP> able to pass "-R" to the linker. I don't touch my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable in Solaris 7 or 8. JWP> I find it impossible to believe the INSTALL-SOURCE file when it JWP> says "We use and develop the software ourselves primarily on JWP> Sun Solaris (Versions 2.5 - 2.7) and SuSE Linux Version 7.x." JWP> JWP> Get a stock Solaris x86 box. Install GCC and make from JWP> sunfreeware.com like any sane administrator would do. JWP> Get, compile and install the shared zlib libraries(let it compile JWP> into the default /usr/local/lib "./configure --shared") JWP> JWP> Now try to install and compile MySQL and watch it barf on JWP> trying to find libz. I've got to add so much crap to CFLAGS, LDFLAGS JWP> and CXXFLAGS before trying to configure MySQL that having an JWP> automated build environment is basically useless. I agree that there's a good bit of additional things to do to get MySQL to compile, but I am successful in getting it to compile under these conditions: Vanilla Solaris 8 (Sparc or i86) installation gcc, bison, flex packages from SunFreeWare PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin Then compile using my mini-HOWTO http://users.talstar.com/forager/MySQL-HOWTO.html No muss, no fuss. JWP> Oh so maybe try Solaris 8... Get GCC 3.0.1 and try to build with that and JWP> make... JWP> gcc -DDEFAULT_CHARSET_HOME=\"/usr\" -DDATADIR=\"/home/mysql\" JWP> -DSHAREDIR=\"/usr/share/mysql\" -DUNDEF_THREADS_HACK -DDONT_USE_RAID JWP> -I./../include -I../include -I./.. -I.. -I.. -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -O3 JWP> -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/mnt/nfs/NTCSoftware/mysql/src/mysql-3.23.43/include JWP> -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T -c password.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/password.lo Assembler: JWP> password.c JWP> "/var/tmp/ccn6BEfI.s", line 166 : Illegal mnemonic JWP> "/var/tmp/ccn6BEfI.s", line 166 : Syntax error JWP> "/var/tmp/ccn6BEfI.s", line 222 : Illegal mnemonic JWP> "/var/tmp/ccn6BEfI.s", line 222 : Syntax error JWP> "/var/tmp/ccn6BEfI.s", line 378 : Illegal mnemonic JWP> "/var/tmp/ccn6BEfI.s", line 378 : Syntax error JWP> "/var/tmp/ccn6BEfI.s", line 457 : Illegal mnemonic JWP> "/var/tmp/ccn6BEfI.s", line 457 : Syntax error I found that gcc3.0.1 is giving me problems with a lot of programs, MySQL included. I've gone back to 2.95.3 for the time being. But this list of errors above looks VERY familiar with the latest MySQL release vs gcc3.0.1. JWP> So I highly doubt anyone would have an accurate answer for me even JWP> if I did include details. And the answers in the INSTALL-SOURCE file JWP> are silly. Why should I have to mess up my filesystems by putting all JWP> sorts of crazy symbolic links everywhere or rely on people to have JWP> LD_LIBRARY_PATH set when I should be able to just as easily pass -R JWP> (or other options) to the compiler and linker when they are doing their JWP> job. Then mysql would work even if I moved the binaries to a different JWP> machine that didn't have all the messy sym-links. I think I read that file a long time ago. I've compiled many many version since then using my standard technique, and also by watching a listening to the successes and failures of others on this list. JWP> I am however suggesting that people take a closer look at the JWP> configuration stage and get it right. There are a good deal of things that could be fixed in the ./configure, I'll grant that. JWP> So that's my rant in a nutshell. I've had simliar ranting sessions while beating my desk. Hope you do better in the future. -- Alan W.
