RE: Cannot compile 20050830 on Solaris 9

[Rob D]

The only Solaris 9 binary I could find was from his website at:
http://www.members.optushome.com.au/bobl/

The only problem is that it is 20040309, which is over a year and a half 
old and it has the RTLD_FIRST problem.

various combinations of symlinking /usr/ccs/bin/as to /opt/sfw/bin/gas and 
back, with and without running configure between makes does change the 
output significantly. Some combinations give the Assembler Message Unknown 
pseudo-op '.half', but most combinations give the illegal mnemonic or 
dozens of the following error:

(standard input): Assembler messages:
(standard input): 4802: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored 
character is '@''

Since changing the symlink appears to change the behaviour, I would assume 
that gcc IS trying to use as instead of gas, but it also seems that adding 
the symlink and running configure should make it use gas.

Now Im really confused.

I read somewhere that someone had to maually configure gcc to use gas. Not 
sure how to do that at all, but now that is my next task.

Thanks

Are you sure your gcc is setup to use gas and not as? There's a section
about that on Solaris in README. The same kind of problem can happen too
with ld.

Robert Lunnon makes some Solaris version of Wine, maybe you could find
them.

You have a ways to go, Wine needs a gnu toolchain to build in particular I 
recommend gcc configured to use gas for assembly and solaris ld for linking. 
This is the way Sun set up the gcc that comes with Solaris 10  - Thank you 
Sun, saves me building my own gcc !  You cant just link gas to replace as 
since the gcc compiler driver will pass it the wrong flags. Go the hard yards 
and build your gcc the right way.

Anyway, I have a sysv Binary package of 25072005 ready to go once I finish 
negotiating the hosting space for it on blastwave. Must admit this is for 
Solaris 10 though. Solaris 9 is more problematic for late versions since 
there are significant differences in Solaris 9 and 10 interfaces upon which 
Wine depends. Solaris 9 threading can be a bit unstable with Wine, but 
Solaris 10 threads appear rock stable. I *can* produce a solaris 9 version 
but I only have one build system, its a very manual process and there is not 
much demand - you are the first to ask.

After I've set up the new website I intend to automate a weekly build of the 
Solaris 10 version for those who like to be at the bleeding edge.

I built gcc with the recommended options, but still getting similar errors

This doesnt make sense to me. Here are a few settings on the machine:

$ which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
$ /usr/local/bin/gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-pc-solaris2.9
Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.1/configure --with-gnu-as 
--with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1

$ which as
/usr/local/bin/as
$ /usr/local/bin/as -v
GNU assembler version 2.14 (i386-pc-solaris2.9) using BFD version 2.14 20030612

Not sure where to go from here at all. This is VERY frustrating. I am 
downloading Wine-20050930 to try that

You need to tweak the functions at the end of tools/winebuild/utils.c
to output the right assembly for your platform. It sounds like gas
doesn't behave the same way on Solaris x86 and Solaris sparc, so you
probably need to add CPU checks in there.
