217312 - Mozilla doesnt start because of relocation errors after being build with Sun CC 5.5 (Forte 8) on Solaris/sparc

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[r.e.j.degroot]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030305
Build Identifier: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4/src/

When buiding mozila-1.4 release on Sun Solaris 9 08/03 with Forte 8 (all patches
applied to both the OS and the compiler) the build will not start up. It will
report relocation errors for libraries which are stored in the
dist/bin/components directory. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build mozilla-1.4 on Sun Solaris 9 (08/03) with Forte 8 and all patches applied
2. Start mozilla from mozilla/dist/bin

Actual Results:  
A variety of relocation errors:

$ ./mozilla
ld.so.1: ./mozilla-bin: fatal: relocation error: file
/home/jogchem/mozilla/dist/bin/components/libimglib2.so: symbol : referenced
symbol not found
Killed

$ ./mozilla-bin
ld.so.1: ./mozilla-bin: fatal: relocation error: file ./mozilla-bin: symbol
PL_strncpy: referenced symbol not found
Killed

Expected Results:  
A problemless startup of the mozilla browser.

When the libraries which generate the relocation errors are moved to a
crle-configured library directory the problems seem disappear. However i ll have
to move practically all files in mozilla/dist/bin/components there as it will
simply give relocation errors on a different library when i move for example
'libimglib2.so'.

This is a problem with your build flags/LD_RUN_PATH path setup and/or your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH setup. 

It works just fine with Forte compilers.

Mozilla used to build fine for me too, i build 1.2 to 1.4 fine with Forte7. The
problems started when i switched to Forte8.

Ok, i'll double check tomorrow. I'm sure i'm compiling with F8 too, though
if that's the case then the problem is surely a compiler issue and not mozilla's
fault ?

[Mitch]

Sorry it took so long. I built with SOS8 (Studio 8) - i'm assuming that's
what you mean by Forte 8 http://wwws.sun.com/software/sundev  - and it
works perfectly.

Mass reassign of Build/Config bugs to Leaf.

Definetly working fine. Here's my about:buildconfig from a build yesterday:
