[Texmacs-dev] Compiling on Itanium

[Ralf Treinen]

Hi,

here is a the relevant portion of configure.in for GNU/Linux on Itanium:

 ia64-*-linux-gnu*)
    AC_MSG_RESULT(final setup for an Itanium/GNU-Linux host)
    CONFIG_OS="ia64-gnu-linux"
    CONFIG_CX="$X_CFLAGS"
    CONFIG_LSTATIC="-static"
    CONFIG_LSHARED="-shared"
    CONFIG_LPATH="-Wl,-rpath,"
    CONFIG_LX="$X_LIBS -lXext -lX11"
    CONFIG_BSTATIC=""
    CONFIG_BSHARED="-shared"
    CONFIG_BPATH="-Wl,-rpath,"
    CONFIG_BX="$X_LIBS -lXext -lX11"
    CONFIG_WORD_LENGTH="8"
    CONFIG_WORD_LENGTH_INC="7"
    CONFIG_WORD_MASK="0xfffffffffffffff8"
    CONFIG_MAX_FAST="264 // WORD_LENGTH more than power of 2"
  ;;

in fact it is the same as for alpha GNU/Linux. Also, I had to
compile as STATIC_TEXMACS since both default and MIXED_TEXMACS
gave me a segmentation fault.

I used CXXFLAGS="-O2". Compiler was gcc 2.96.

Sine Itanium is an Intel processor I suggest to change the
message line for i*86 into something like

  i*86-*-linux-gnu* | i*86-*-freebsd*)
    AC_MSG_RESULT(final setup for an Intel *86/GNU-linux host)


-Ralf.
