I guest I figured out how to make libdazzle compiles, but I fails at the linking stage. Not related to the Solaris patch, though. That patch doesn't help.
Let me describe the problems in details: libdazzle fails to compile because of a compiler flag. With this flag on, it will fail with this error: https://pastebin.com/bqnZUUrN We have to edit meson.build and comment out '-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types', from test_c_args like this: https://pastebin.com/DWbE4xSE The it will build happily. But will suddenly fail because the system was hard coded to use gcc-7! See this: https://pastebin.com/8K4XR7fv After installing gcc-7 with pkg, gcc-7 replaced gcc-10 as the default compiler. We now could get over this. But again, it suddenly fails because it can't execute 'cc'. Unlike other Unix system, OpenIndiana doesn't have the binary 'cc' available by default. This, too, caused many minor but annoying problems when porting software. A simple symbolic link solved this: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc I wonder why this symlink doesn't created by default? This would save the porters from many troubles! So finally, the command is this: CC='cc -m64' meson .. ninja --verbose The compilation fine, but the final linking stage fails, because of: ld: fatal: file /export/home/giahung/Downloads/libdazzle-3.38.0/build/tmp-introspect2wjcgx9j/Dazzle-1.0.o: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 ld: fatal: file processing errors. No output written to /export/home/giahung/Downloads/libdazzle-3.38.0/build/tmp-introspect2wjcgx9j/Dazzle-1.0 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status See here for more detail: https://pastebin.com/Uvm62jNm That same old misery on any Illumos based system! Now, OI developers, this is you have to deal with this to have libdazzle packaged in your repo. After that, I could continue with Epiphany itself. ---- On Sun, 10 Jan 2021 09:53:21 +0700 Hung Nguyen Gia via oi-dev <oi-dev@openindiana.org> wrote ---- > More detail: > > Packages needed to install on OI: gcc-10 cmake ninja meson git pkg-config > vala > > Environment variable to set: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/lib/64/pkgconfig' > > We're doing a 64 bit build.
