I am trying to compile mozilla 1.3b on Solaris 2.6 with recent patch cluster
installed.  I am using gcc-2.95.3 that was configured with gnu binutils-2.13.
When running "gmake -f client.mk build", the build stops with these messages:

gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ -shared -Wl,-h,libnspr4.so,-z,combreloc,-z,defs

I am also wondering why the compiler is being passed -B/usr/ccs/bin/ option if I
am using gcc that was configured to use binutils.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. To reproduce try to compile mozilla-1.3b with gcc-2.95.3 that's using gnu
binutils 2.13 on a Solaris 2.6 system with this .mozconfig:
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --without-system-nspr
ac_add_options --without-system-zlib
ac_add_options --without-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --without-system-png
ac_add_options --without-system-mng
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --enable-svg
ac_add_options --enable-ldap
ac_add_options --enable-calendar
mk_add_options MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1
MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1

Hrm.  Looks like another case of us requiring Sun ld to build.  You'll hit a
similar problem (bug 91224) when building NSS (crypto).

Summary: Mozilla 1.3b build fails on Solaris with gcc → NSPR build fails when using GNU ld on Solaris
Version: Trunk → other
We only support Solaris ld.  The gcc you are using needs
to be configured to honor the -B/usr/ccs/bin/ flag.

If you can't configure your gcc this way, you can edit
mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/Makefile.in and comment out this
line:
MKSHLIB += -Wl,-M,$(MAPFILE)
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
I just realized that two other makefiles also need to be edited.
So the workaround should read:

If you can't configure your gcc to honor -B/usr/ccs/bin/ flag,
you can edit
  mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/Makefile.in
  mozilla/nsprpub/lib/ds/Makefile.in
  mozilla/nsprpub/lib/libc/src/Makefile.in
and comment out this line:
  MKSHLIB += -Wl,-M,$(MAPFILE)

I think we should document Solaris ld as a build requirement
in the build instructions.  Since Solaris ld and as are included
with all Solaris systems, I don't know why one would want to use
GNU binutils on Solaris.  I'd be interested in knowing why.

Chris, if you would like to implement the proper fix, that would
be fine by me, too.  Otherwise I'm going to resolve this bug
WONTFIX.

The proper fix would be:
1. Verify that GNU ld either supports or has the equivalents of
the Solaris ld flags we are using.
2. Add a configure test to detect GNU ld and use the equivalent
GNU ld flags for the Solaris ld flags that GNU ld doesn't support.
3. For NSS's coreconf build system, we need a new make variable
USE_GNU_LD, which needs to be set by
mozilla/security/manager/Makefile.in before it invokes NSS's
coreconf build system.
I have made an attempt to compile mozilla-1.3b with the same version of
gcc that uses Sun binutils and it worked just fine. I agree too that there
is little reason not to use Sun ld. The reason we had configured gcc with GNU
binutils on this particular system is because GCC installation instructions
claim that certain old versions of Sun as and ld are known to have problems
and this machine is running Solaris 2.6 which uses those old versions of as and
ld. However, desprite of that warning, I haven't had problems using gcc with Sun
binutils. And well, another reason, is that often other open source projects
sometimes assume that your gcc is using gnu binutils and pass incompatible ld
flags to it which later are passed to /usr/ccs/bin/ld which results in an error..
Akop:

Thank you for the information.  Could you tell me how you
configured gcc with GNU binutils on your Solaris 2.6 system?
I guess you used the --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld configure
options, right?  I think the --with-gnu-ld configure option
hardwires gcc to always use GNU ld, regardless of your PATH
or the -B/usr/ccs/bin/ flag, right?

Could you try the following on that particular system and
post the output here?

1. Create a simple C file foo.c:

int main() { return 0; }

2. Run these commands.

% ld -V
% /usr/ccs/bin/ld -V
% gcc -Wl,-V foo.c
% gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ -Wl,-V foo.c
% gcc -v foo.c
% gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ -v foo.c
Attached patch Proposed patch for NSPR TIP (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Hopefully this patch should do the right thing.  Akop, could
you test this patch on your Solaris 2.6 system where gcc is
configured to use GNU ld?

We are using the following Solaris ld flags: -h, -z combreloc,
-z defs, -f, and -M.  It seems that all but -M are supported by
GNU ld on Solaris, and the --version-script flag of GNU ld is
equivalent to the -M flag of Solaris ld.

I adapted the GNU_LD test in mozilla/configure.in to test the
ld used by gcc, which may be different from $LD.  After some
digging in GNU CC documentation, I found the -print-prog-name=ld
flag.

Could you post the output of
    `gcc -print-prog-name=ld` -v
on your Solaris 2.6 system?
Akop,

Earlier I wrote:

I now guess it was the --with-ld=/path/to/gnu/ld configure
option (as opposed to --with-gnu-ld) that you used to install
gcc on your Solaris 2.6 system, right?

See http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#gas.
Our gcc with configured with --with-ld=/opt/local/bin/l and
--with-as=/opt/local/bin/as, and not with --with-gnu-ld or --with-gnu-as

Proposed patch for NSPR TIP

This patch is for the current NSPR TIP.  I will attach a
patch for Mozilla 1.3b next.
Attachment #116447 - Attachment description: Proposed patch → Proposed patch for NSPR TIP
This is the same patch adapted for the mozilla 1.3b source tree.
With the last patch, the build now fails with this command:

This is a problem of mozilla/configure.in.  Here is the relevant
fragment from the version in mozilla 1.3b:

1463      *-solaris*)
1464          if test -z "$GNU_LD"; then
1465           if test -z "$GNU_CC"; then
1466            MOZ_COMPONENTS_VERSION_SCRIPT_LDFLAGS='-M
$(BUILD_TOOLS)/gnu-ld-scripts/components-mapfile'
1467           else
1468            MOZ_COMPONENTS_VERSION_SCRIPT_LDFLAGS='-Wl,-M

1469           fi
1470          fi
1471          ;;

Apparently GNU_LD is not set (I bet 'which ld' returns /usr/ccs/bin/ld)
but c++ is hardwired to use GNU ld.  $(GNU_LD) is the wrong variable to
test here because it is not necessarily the ld used by c++.  I think
the solution is to add the same test I proposed for NSPR to
mozilla/configure.in to detect whether c++ uses GNU ld or Solaris ld.

Akop, your workaround is to set your PATH so that 'which ld' returns
/opt/local/bin/ld on your system.  This should get you past this error
but your build will eventually fail in mozilla/security/nss (see comment
2).
Akop, this patch should do the trick.  To test this patch,
you should NOT change your PATH to pick up /opt/local/bin/ld.
Unfortunately, the build fails again, now with these messages:

I didn't change my PATH (which is set to
/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/sbin:/usr/proc/bin)
or the rest of my environment.

-akop
Akop,

Sorry I wasn't clear.  You actually had to apply both patches.
To avoid future confusion, I combined the two patches into this
patch.	You just need to apply this patch to the mozilla 1.3b
source tree.

Again, your build will eventually fail in mozilla/security/nss.
I will address that build failure when we get there.

Could you post the output of
    `gcc -print-prog-name=ld` -v
on your Solaris 2.6 system?  Thanks.

Akop,

That is the failure in mozilla/security/nss that we
told you about.  Please try this patch.  Hopefully
this will get you past the build failure and complete
the build.  Thanks.
Attachment #117028 - Attachment is obsolete: true
This version of the patch has a fix in
mozilla/{configure,configure.in} that does not
affect gcc users.
Attachment #117283 - Attachment is obsolete: true
Hello. I have applied patch ID 117287 to mozilla 1.3b and it compiled fine.
However, the build now fails if I use the same version of gcc with the only
difference that this gcc is using Sun binutils as opposed to GNU binutils.
The error message is below:

Akop,

Thank you very much for testing the patch.  I found that
my previous patch has a serious bug.  It happens to work
with the gcc that uses GNU binutils, and manifests itself
when you switch to the gcc that uses Sun binutils.

I've fixed the bug in this patch.  Unfortunately, you will
need to test it with both gcc's (using GNU and Sun binutils).

Akop, thank you very much for testing the patch from attachment
117541 [details] [diff] [review] for both gcc's.	Your help is very valuable.

I've checked in the NSPR and NSS patches.  They will appear in
mozilla 1.4alpha.

This is the patch for the current Mozilla tip, excluding NSPR
and NSS.  (For ease of code review, this patch does not contain
the changes to mozilla/configure.  Do not apply this patch to a
source tree.)

cls, please review this patch.

I have a question about the test for GNU_LD.  Why is there an
"echo" command with no arguments at the beginning of the pipeline?

> if test "`echo | $LD -v 2>&1 | grep -c GNU`" != "0"; then
>     GNU_LD=1
> fi

My test for GCC_USE_GNU_LD does not use this "echo" command.
Should it?

I don't think the echo is needed.  It was probably just copy-n-pasted from the
as test (which does need the echo since it takes input from stdin).

*** Bug 200090 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hello all,
I resolved this with a specific "configure" command in the mozilla/nsprpub
directory, and it found the right Sun Compiler and associated binutils rather
than my GNU CC and GNU Binutils.
In fact, if this configure is done from the top tree, it fails because it tries
to use the GNU gcc and associated binutils.

So my mozilla is running fine, but was compiled both with GNU and SUN cc, and
GNU and SUN binutils.

But I'll keep in mind the _real_ patch exists...

Manys thanks for this help,
Sylvain.
