Please download gettext-0.17-11-src.tar.bz2 from the cygwin mirror system (you can use setup.exe to install the source package if you like). Then, use cygport gettext-0.17-11.cygport almostall' to build and package gettext for cygwin. If you have the same error, then I'll try to reproduce (but I'm a bit busy for the next few weeks) collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped Well, ld shouldn't coredump, that's for sure. I'd suspect a problem in ld rather than gettext, tho. To debug it, you'd need to build a debuggable version of ld, and set up just-in-time debugging (e.g. add to your CYGWIN variable the following: error_start:c:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: coredump when compiling gettext from source
[ Sorry, my first reply to this post went astray because the OP was crossposted to both cygwin and cygwin-developers, and cygwin-developers set a reply-to header, and my mailer merged the two duplicates into one. ] Vincent R. wrote: Are you sure the problem doesn't rely on gcc version release with latest cygwin ? As it happens, it's not related. I get a segmentation fault inside ld ... That should never happen, no matter how badly mangled the input LD is fed, and is always a bug when it does. Will I find answers about that kind of problem on this ML ? It's always best to start with a report here, in case it's cygwin-specific, and then we can escalate it to the binutils list if it turns out to come from upstream. In this case, you found a bug that has been around since like forever, but only come to light now that we've started really using weak symbols in anger on the PE platform. It was a trivial thinko in looking up the default value for the weak symbol that only shows up if you have multiple object files in the same link that all refer to the same undefined weak. Fixed in binutils CVS HEAD by http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2009-10/msg00010.html and should be in 2.20 when it comes out. I verified that gettext now builds all the way to completion, although I didn't run the tests. Thanks for finding this! [ Since first sending this I ran enough of the tests to see that they were generally passing, so it looks OK. ] cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
