Re: Build problem, Solaris 2.8 (not fatal)

Ted> unexec(): Ted> dldump(/users/pqc/tedrb/Src/xemacs-21.4.11/src/xemacs): Ted> ld.so.1: ./temacs: fatal: Ted> /users/pqc/tedrb/Src/xemacs-21.4.11/src/xemacs: unknown Ted> dynamic entry: 1879048176 I'm pretty sure this is described in PROBLEMS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Errors similar to the following: Dumping under the name xemacs unexec(): dldump(/space/rpluim/xemacs-obj/src/xemacs): ld.so.1: ./temacs: fatal: /space/rpluim/xemacs-obj/src/xemacs: unknown dynamic entry: 1879048176 are caused by using GNU ld. There are several workarounds available: In XEmacs 21.2 or later, configure using the new portable dumper (--pdump). Alternatively, you can link using the Sun version of ld, which is normally held in /usr/ccs/bin. This can be done by one of: - building gcc with these configure flags: configure --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as - adding -B/usr/ccs/bin/ to CFLAGS used to configure XEmacs (Note: The trailing '/' there is significant.) - uninstalling GNU ld. The Solaris2 FAQ claims: When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
