98578 - Can't build freebl on Solaris 8

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 77788

(NSS :: Build, defect)

Description

For a very long time I have been unable to build the trunk on Solaris due to 
this problem:

http://groups.google.com/groups?as_umsgid=[e-mail]

I can't for the life of me get a trunk build on Solaris 8 with Forte to
complete.  When the build descends into mozilla/security/nss/lib/freebl,
I get these undefined symbols:

Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
s_mpv_mul_d                         SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpmontg.o
conv_i32_to_d32_and_d16             SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpmontg.o
s_mpv_mul_d_add                     SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpi.o
mont_mulf_noconv                    SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpmontg.o
s_mpv_mul_d_add_prop                SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpmontg.o
conv_i32_to_d32                     SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpmontg.o
conv_i32_to_d16                     SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpmontg.o

After hacking on it, I have determined that these .o files needed to be added 
to the link line for libfreebl_pure32_3.so:

SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpi_sparc.o SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/mpv_sparcv8.o 
SunOS5.8_DBG.OBJ/montmulfv8.o

I've hacked around this in my build, but I'd like a real fix.

Changed product to NSS and assigned the bug to Nelson.

Ed,

I believe that this bug is a duplicate of bug 77788.
Do you have CFLAGS set in your environment?  If so,
the workaround is to specify CFLAGS on the configure
command line as opposed to having it set in your
environment.

wtc: thanks for your prompt reply.

I've never set an env var during my configure run.  How does one do this?

Thanks,

Ed

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

This bug is clearly the same symtom as bug 77788.

Ed, I suggest you look at 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=32377&action=view
(an attachment to bug 77788 that shows a good build) and compare your own 
build log to it.  The two should be the same except for directory names.  
In particular, the command line arguments to cc and ld must be the same,
especially the -D_something options.  If they are not, then you've got a 
problem with environment variables or make variables.  

One other possibility: are you pulling NSS with the right tag? 

This code does build OK on Solaris 8 when the right version of the code
is pulled and the environment variables are correct for that version.

Ed:

If you use csh or tcsh, do this:
    env CFLAGS=-xO2 ./configure

If you use sh, ksh, or bash, do this:
    CFLAGS=-xO2 ./configure

This will set CFLAGS *only* in the environment for ./configure.
CFLAGS won't be set in your environment for other processes.

Ed:

You may want to check with Shirley Woo on this particular build problem.
