Re: Linking problems in alpha

[Trond Varslot]

Hi,
Which make program are you using?

I had similar problems compiling octave on Solaris 5.6 a while ago (See my
posting on help-octave:
http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/help-octave/2001/70.

In my instance the problem turned out to be make. I started out using gnu
make-3.77, and octave-2.1.33 would not compile. The error messages were
similar, but I would nok know if they were identical. However, upgrading to
make-3.79.1 octave-2.1.33 compiled fine. The complaints about -rdynamic not
being supported did not go away, but atleast I was able to compile and run
octave without problems.

I hope this can be of help to you.


Yours sincerely
Trond Varslot.
