[Ecls-list] Solaris SPARC issues (from latest CVS) - using Sun compiler.

[Dr. David Kirkby]

I tried to build ecl several different ways to see if I could break it. 
I thought I'd post some of the outputs, but put them in separate emails.

First, here we try the Sun compiler, on the host 't2'

kirkby at t2:[~/ecl] $ ./configure CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc 
CXX=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC
Switching to directory `build' to continue configuration.
checking build system type... ultrasparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking host system type... ultrasparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking for gcc... /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc

checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... no


Note, the configure script knows the compiler is not the GNU one.


Do you actually need a working Fortran compiler? If not, why check for 
one? If you do, how do I specify what one to use? Since I'm using the 
Sun C and C++ compilers, not the GNU ones, it would be silly to use the 
GNU fortran compiler. Since I've not specified a location, finally the 
'configure' script finds gfortran.

Eventually configure works ok

Here's some compiler warnings noted. Generally the Sun compiler is a lot 
more fussy than the GNU one.

1) There are lots of warnings about llegal option -d=gnu99

cc: Warning: illegal option -d=gnu99
cc: Warning: illegal option -d=gnu99
cc: Warning: illegal option -d=gnu99

2) One warning about the illegal option -x

-DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"gc\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"7.1\" 
"-DPACKAGE_STRING=\"gc 7.1\"" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"Hans.Boehm at hp.com\"

cc: Warning: illegal option -d=gnu99
cc: Warning: illegal option -x

3) Several warnings about the source code.

"/rootpool2/local/kirkby/ecl/src/gc/gcj_mlc.c", line 201: warning: 
implicit function declaration: GC_start_debugging

"/rootpool2/local/kirkby/ecl/src/gc/os_dep.c", line 1766: warning:

"/rootpool2/local/kirkby/ecl/src/gc/real_malloc.c", line 31: warning: 
empty translation unit


4) Finally, things go wrong, as it can't find gmp.h

So it would appear to need a bit of work on Solaris SPARC if the Sun 
compiler is used. (I did not have any better luck with the GNU compiler 
either, but I'll stick that in another email.)
