I think I might have been at least part responsible for that code to use
CC for linking. The problem is that the linker really needs to be set
correctly (either way) later on. I tried this (the machine I have only
has the Sun compiler):
# If we're using Sun's compiler then we need to link with the C++ compiler (CC)
# rather than the C compiler (cc)
# If it turns out we're using gcc, then we need to make sure we're linking
# with g++, not gcc. We can't make this decision until later, because the
# gcc test hasn't been run yet.
my $solaris_cb = sub {
my ($key, $gccversion) = @_;
my $link = Configure::Data->get('link');
if ($gccversion) {
$link =~ s/g?cc/g\+\+/;
} else {
$link =~ s/\bcc\b/CC/;
}
Configure::Data->set('link', $link);
Configure::Data->deltrigger("gccversion", "solaris_hints");
};
Configure::Data->settrigger("gccversion", "solaris_hints", $solaris_cb);
but it seems that that doesn't change 'link':
$ grep ^LINK Makefile LINK = ccache cc -D_XPG6
LINKFLAGS = -xarch=v9 -L/usr/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/ccs/lib/sparcv9
-L/opt/SUNWspro/prod/lib/v9 -L/usr/local/lib -g
(should be CC)
so I'm inferring that that callback didn't get called when gccversion is
false. So this gets me to limit of my Parrot Configure knowledge - how do
we run a callback unconditionally after gccversion is known, independent
of its value?
