While trying to build ppl-0.10.2 on Solaris 8 with GCC 4.4.4 I have seen the following error in the 'make check' stage : /bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link /usr/local/gcc4/bin/g++ -g -O2 -march=i386 -frounding-math -march=i386 -malign-double -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8 -m32 -O3 -Qy -fexceptions -D_TS_ERRNO -march=i386 -malign-double -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8 -m32 -O3 -Qy -fexceptions -D_TS_ERRNO -W -Wall -o membytes1 membytes1.o ../../utils/libppl_utils.a ../../tests/libppl_tests.a ../../src/libppl.la -lm -L/usr/local/lib -lgmpxx -L/usr/local/lib -lgmp -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib libtool: link: /usr/local/gcc4/bin/g++ -g -O2 -march=i386 -frounding-math -march=i386 -malign-double -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8 -m32 -O3 -Qy -fexceptions -D_TS_ERRNO -march=i386 -malign-double -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8 -m32 -O3 -Qy -fexceptions -D_TS_ERRNO -W -Wall -o .libs/membytes1 membytes1.o ../../utils/libppl_utils.a ../../tests/libppl_tests.a ../../src/.libs/libppl.so -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libgmpxx.so /usr/local/gcc4/lib/libstdc++.so -lm /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so -Wl,-R -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-R -Wl,/usr/local/gcc4/lib ld: warning: file /usr/local/gcc4/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.8/4.4.4/../../../libstdc++.so: linked to /usr/local/gcc4/lib/libstdc++.so: attempted multiple inclusion of file /usr/local/gcc4/bin/g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src -I../../src -I../../tests -I../../utils -DNDEBUG=1 -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -march=i386 -frounding-math -march=i386 -malign-double -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8 -m32 -O3 -Qy -fexceptions -D_TS_ERRNO -march=i386 -malign-double -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8 -m32 -O3 -Qy -fexceptions -D_TS_ERRNO -W -Wall -MT powerset1.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/powerset1.Tpo -c -o powerset1.o powerset1.cc powerset1.cc: In function 'bool<unnamed>::test01()': powerset1.cc:30: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant powerset1.cc:34: error: expected ';' before 'ps1' powerset1.cc:34: warning: statement has no effect powerset1.cc:35: error: 'ps1' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:37: error: expected ';' before 'ps2' powerset1.cc:37: warning: statement has no effect powerset1.cc:39: error: 'ps2' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:46: error: expected ';' before 'ps3' powerset1.cc:46: warning: statement has no effect powerset1.cc:48: error: 'ps3' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:51: error: 'ps3' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:57: error: 'ps3' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:70: error: expected ';' before '::' token powerset1.cc:70: warning: statement has no effect powerset1.cc:70: error: 'i' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:77: error: expected ';' before '::' token powerset1.cc:77: warning: statement has no effect powerset1.cc:77: error: 'i' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:84: error: expected ';' before '::' token powerset1.cc:84: warning: statement has no effect powerset1.cc:84: error: 'i' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:91: error: expected ';' before '::' token powerset1.cc:92: warning: statement has no effect powerset1.cc:92: error: 'i' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:92: error: 'ps3_rend' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:97: error: 'ps2' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:98: error: expected ';' before 'ps_empty' powerset1.cc:98: warning: statement has no effect powerset1.cc:100: error: 'ps_empty' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:105: error: 'ps_empty' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:110: error: 'ps_empty' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:115: error: 'ps_empty' was not declared in this scope powerset1.cc:118: error: 'ps_empty' was not declared in this scope make[3]: *** [powerset1.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/export/medusa/dclarke/build/GCC/4.5.2-RC/ppl/i386/ppl-0.10.2.002/tests/Powerset' make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/medusa/dclarke/build/GCC/4.5.2-RC/ppl/i386/ppl-0.10.2.002/tests/Powerset' make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/medusa/dclarke/build/GCC/4.5.2-RC/ppl/i386/ppl-0.10.2.002/tests' make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 [ titan ] $ The sources were taken from http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/Download/ftp/ppl/releases/LATEST/solaris/ Not sure if ppl can be compiled on Solaris 8. Certainly gmp, mpfr and mpc all work flawlessly. I would certainly like to incorporate ppl into the next GCC release if it could pass the testsuite. -- Dennis Clarke dclarke@opensolaris.ca <- Email related to the open source Solaris dclarke@blastwave.org <- Email related to open source for Solaris
