Re: Compilation Installation problem swarm 2002 05 14

[Paul Johnson]

In the SPEC file with which I build RPMS, I note some special ppc 
instructions that Alex Lancaster figured out some time ago.  For ppc, 
apparently one must get/install the libffi package, which we all used to 
do in the old days.

I don't recall ever seeing the tcl/tk configure options used in the way 
you indicate. The standard configure line I use in the SPEC file is

%define baseconfigure CC=gcc3 JAVAC=jikes %{SWARM_SRC_DIR}/configure 
--srcdir=%{SWARM_SRC_DIR} --with-defaultdir=/usr --prefix=/usr 
--enable-subdirs --with-jdkdir=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0

For the ppc, additionally, the configure line has to tell where ffi is, 
as the SPEC file indicates:

%ifarch ppc
CFLAGS="-fdollars-in-identifiers -O2 -g" %configure --with-ffidir=/usr 
--disable-jar
%endif

Suppose you have the stuff installed in the standard directories, just 
telling it defaultdir is /usr will let the system know where files are.

So if you were typping in by hand, I think you'd need to cd into a build 
directory and type:

$  CC=gcc3 JAVAC=jikes 
/home/febousr/Dev/Swarm/swarm-2002-05-14/configure 
--srcdir=/home/febousr/Dev/Swarm/swarm-2002-05-14/
--prefix=/usr --enable-subdirs --with-defaultdir=/usr 
--with-jdkdir=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0 --with-ffidir=/usr --disable-jar

I recall jar is disabled because jar program was defective as distributed.


I'd consider disabling JAVA for test purposes by changing to 
--without-jdkdir

You don't say which gcc  you are using to compile this, but if you don't 
have the special patched version of gcc3, you need to change one line in 
the source code.  If you do not have the gcc patched, then you need to 
REVERSE the effect of this patch on interface.el.  That is, you must 
insert the semicolon on the indicated line:

*** interface.el-original       Sun Jul  8 19:22:33 2001
--- interface.el        Sun Jul  8 19:22:56 2001
***************
*** 625,631 ****

  (defun create-dispatch-hash-table (protocol phase)
    (let ((ht (make-hash-table)))
!     ;(load-dispatch-hash-table protocol phase ht)
      ht))

  (defun c-objc-type (type)
--- 625,631 ----

  (defun create-dispatch-hash-table (protocol phase)
    (let ((ht (make-hash-table)))
!     (load-dispatch-hash-table protocol phase ht)
      ht))

  (defun c-objc-type (type)
~

And if you do have the special thing, the cpp flag -DMETHOD_FUNCTIONS is 
used...

%{gcc_path} make EXTRACPPFLAGS=-DMETHOD_FUNCTIONS 
EXTRALDFLAGS=-static-libgcc JAVAC=/usr/bin/jikes
