<dt>Compiler link options</dt>
|
|
<dd><p>The version of libtool currently in use rather aggressively strips compiler
|
|
options when linking a shared library. This will hopefully be relaxed in the
|
|
future, but for now if this is a problem the suggestion is to create a little
|
|
script to hide them, and for instance configure with
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">./configure CC=gcc-with-my-options
|

</pre></div>

<dt>DJGPP (‘<samp>*-*-msdosdjgpp*</samp>’)</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-DJGPP-1"></a>
|
|
<p>The DJGPP port of <code>bash</code> 2.03 is unable to run the ‘<samp>configure</samp>’
|
|
script, it exits silently, having died writing a preamble to
|
|
<samp>config.log</samp>. Use <code>bash</code> 2.04 or higher.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>‘<samp>make all</samp>’ was found to run out of memory during the final
|
|
<samp>libgmp.la</samp> link on one system tested, despite having 64Mb available.
|
|
Running ‘<samp>make libgmp.la</samp>’ directly helped, perhaps recursing into the
|
|
various subdirectories uses up memory.

<dt>GNU binutils <code>strip</code> prior to 2.12</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-Stripped-libraries"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-Binutils-strip"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-GNU-strip"></a>
|
|
<p><code>strip</code> from GNU binutils 2.11 and earlier should not be used on the
|
|
static libraries <samp>libgmp.a</samp> and <samp>libmp.a</samp> since it will discard all
|
|
but the last of multiple archive members with the same name, like the three
|
|
versions of <samp>init.o</samp> in <samp>libgmp.a</samp>. Binutils 2.12 or higher can be
|
|
used successfully.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The shared libraries <samp>libgmp.so</samp> and <samp>libmp.so</samp> are not affected by
|
|
this and any version of <code>strip</code> can be used on them.

<dt><code>make</code> syntax error</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-SCO"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-IRIX-1"></a>
|
|
<p>On certain versions of SCO OpenServer 5 and IRIX 6.5 the native <code>make</code>
|
|
is unable to handle the long dependencies list for <samp>libgmp.la</samp>. The
|
|
symptom is a “syntax error” on the following line of the top-level
|
|
<samp>Makefile</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">libgmp.la: $(libgmp_la_OBJECTS) $(libgmp_la_DEPENDENCIES)
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Either use GNU Make, or as a workaround remove
|
|
<code>$(libgmp_la_DEPENDENCIES)</code> from that line (which will make the initial
|
|
build work, but if any recompiling is done <samp>libgmp.la</samp> might not be
|
|
rebuilt).

<dt>MacOS X (‘<samp>*-*-darwin*</samp>’)</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-MacOS-X"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-Darwin"></a>
|
|
<p>Libtool currently only knows how to create shared libraries on MacOS X using
|
|
the native <code>cc</code> (which is a modified GCC), not a plain GCC. A
|
|
static-only build should work though (‘<samp>--disable-shared</samp>’).
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>NeXT prior to 3.3</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-NeXT"></a>
|
|
<p>The system compiler on old versions of NeXT was a massacred and old GCC, even
|
|
if it called itself <samp>cc</samp>. This compiler cannot be used to build GMP, you
|
|
need to get a real GCC, and install that. (NeXT may have fixed this in
|
|
release 3.3 of their system.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>POWER and PowerPC</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-Power_002fPowerPC-1"></a>
|
|
<p>Bugs in GCC 2.7.2 (and 2.6.3) mean it can’t be used to compile GMP on POWER or
|
|
PowerPC. If you want to use GCC for these machines, get GCC 2.7.2.1 (or
|
|
later).
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Sequent Symmetry</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-Sequent-Symmetry"></a>
|
|
<p>Use the GNU assembler instead of the system assembler, since the latter has
|
|
serious bugs.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Solaris 2.6</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-Solaris-1"></a>
|
|
<p>The system <code>sed</code> prints an error “Output line too long” when libtool
|
|
builds <samp>libgmp.la</samp>. This doesn’t seem to cause any obvious ill effects,
|
|
but GNU <code>sed</code> is recommended, to avoid any doubt.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Sparc Solaris 2.7 with gcc 2.95.2 in ‘<samp>ABI=32</samp>’</dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-Solaris-2"></a>
|
|
<p>A shared library build of GMP seems to fail in this combination, it builds but
|
|
then fails the tests, apparently due to some incorrect data relocations within
|
|
<code>gmp_randinit_lc_2exp_size</code>. The exact cause is unknown,
|
|
‘<samp>--disable-shared</samp>’ is recommended.
