Re: java, Swarm, JDK1.2.2, Solaris 8 and static vs shared libraries

[Gary Polhill]

OK, compilation of binutils-2.11.2 under way, with gcc-3.0 to follow -- thanks 
for your help Marcus. When the time comes to compile Swarm, would you suggest I 
stick with the version on the CD-ROM, or should I use the latest snapshot from 
the ftp site?

Thanks,

Gary

If it isn't possible to use the tested configuration of those
binaries, then I suggest building and installing GCC 3.0 in disk space
under your control.  I don't know what would cause the strange
behavior you are seeing buildling HDF5, but it is possible it is a
consequence of a broken compiler propagating garbage into autoconf.
Remember you need to install the latest GNU binutils and then
configure GCC with --with-gnu-ld and --with-gnu-as.

Here's what I use to build GCC 3.0 on sparc-sun-solaris2.8.
Change $SRC and $P/development/gcc to whatever make sense on your system. 

#!/bin/sh
SRC=/disks/disk1/Scratch/mgd/src/gcc-3.0

$SRC/configure --prefix=$P/development/gcc --srcdir=$SRC --with-gnu-as 
--with-as=$P/development/gcc/bin/as --with-gnu-ld 
--with-ld=$P/development/gcc/bin/ld
make bootstrap
