Hello,
I'm trying to create 32-bit shared libraries on 64-bit PA-RISC 2.0
(HP-UX 11) with aCC compiler. I have several libraries and executables
in my project. When I run them from build directory, everything works
fine. However, when I run make install and delete build directory, the
executables and libraries stop working. I've looked into them via chatr
utility and it shows that they reference build directory as search path,
not install one.
I've investigated the problem and it looks like it lies in
config.guess. config.guess checks host type according to uname and
getconf utility which results in "hppa2.0w" (64-bit PA-RISC 2.0). Then
there is a check for __LP64__ define, which fails. Here the failure is
caused by wrong use of compiler options - it runs:
$CC_FOR_BUILD -E -
which is not understood by aCC. It should be rewritten to use
temporary file instead of "-" (stdin). Moreover, the check does not use
compiler flags so the result is not affected by switches determining the
"bitness" of resulting code - +DA2.0W (64-bit), +DA2.0N (32-bit), +DA1.1
(32-bit PA-RISC 1.1). However, this can be workarounded by putting these
directly into CC when running configure.
The host type set after the check is not clear enough since it does
not correspond to aCC options. When __LP64__ is defined, host type is
hppa64, which seems correct if it stands for 64-bit. When the check
fails, host type is set to hppa2.0w. However, I think this host type
should mean 64-bit since option +DA2.0W to aCC generates 64-bit code.
Unfortunatelly, libtool determines 32/64-bit hppa in a way "hppa64 is
64-bit and anything else is 32-bit". There is also problem in libtool.m4
regarding options supplied via CC variable. When they are supplied,
libtool checks for compiler do not work since cc_basename contains also
those options. I've attached simple patch which removes all characters
after the first space.
Also I don't understand the way config.guess should be copied to
project. Currently it is copied by libtoolize from share/libtool, but
this one is outdated and current one is in share/automake-1.7. Should I
copy it manually from automake?
Now here are my conclusions:
- config.guess does not use CFLAGS when making compilation checks but
this can be "fixed" by providing necessary flags directly in CC variable
- config.guess should be fixed so __LP64__ check works corretly (patch
attached)
- config.guess "generates" host types which do not correspond to aCC (HP
native) namings but this cannot be changed
- there are two config.guess versions when both libtool and automake are
installed. libtoolize takes one from libtool, not automake
- libtool needs to be patched to support options supplied in CC or CXX
variables
