Has anyone actually built emacs 21.3 for SOLARIS (sparc)?

Has anyone actually built emacs 21.3 for SOLARIS (sparc)?

[David Combs]

I'm having difficulties getting emacs 21.3 to compile,
load, etc -- and am getting complaints about a missing
lib:

	../lisp/textmodes/text-mode.elc 	../lisp/vc-hooks.elc 	../lisp/ediff-hook.elc 	../lisp/widget.elc 	../lisp/window.elc 	../lisp/version.el
LC_ALL=C ./temacs -batch -l loadup dump

	setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/sfw/lib/

Then why do you not install that library if you wish to use it?

You certainly have the option in the ./configure script to choose motif
instead of Xaw3d.

I run Solaris 9, not Solris.  Does that disqualify my comments?

BTW that release of emacs builds without error on Ultra 1 if a bit slowly.

[emacs-21.3]$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/sfw --with-x-toolkit=motif
 --with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-gif --with-png --with-x

I've gotten version 21.2, 21.3 and CVS of emacs to compile on
solaris/slowlaris.

Looks like you've got problems with libXaw3d.

You should look for xaw3d in /etc/PROBLEMS. Here is what I found:

"
* On systems with shared libraries you might encounter run-time errors
from the dynamic linker telling you that it is unable to find some
shared libraries, for instance those for Xaw3d or image support.
These errors mean Emacs has been linked with a library whose shared
library is not in the default search path of the dynamic linker.

Similar problems could prevent Emacs from building, since the build
process invokes Emacs several times.

On many systems, it is possible to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your
environment to specify additional directories where shared libraries
can be found.

Other systems allow to set LD_RUN_PATH in a similar way, but before
Emacs is linked.  With LD_RUN_PATH set, the linker will include a
specified run-time search path in the executable.
"

Hope that helps,
Bijan

Solaris is an ELF system.  The library search path is supposed to be in
the headers of the binary.  It gets put there by using the proper LDFLAGS
during the compile time link.

Go back and re-read my previous post in the other branch of this thread.

Completely unnecessary.  Learn something about the OS before posting such
nonsense.

It merely confuses and confounds the misimpressions you Linux users have

My "make" got as far as creating "temacs", for
which ldd on gives:

Why does mine want the 3d thing, and yours doesn't?


Also, you did that echo of the two LD_..._PATHs, and
showed nothing for what typed out.

Here's what I get:


84 ==/dkcjunk==> echo $LD_RUN_PATH
LD_RUN_PATH: Undefined variable
85 ==/dkcjunk==> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Undefined variable
86 ==/dkcjunk==> 

A prior answer said to define the first one as
/usr/openwin/lib.

Is that your opinion too?

And what about the RUN path -- set it to what?

(The last time I dealt with these concepts was
way back on dec-20 twenex; since then I've been
using a language no one's ever heard of (Mainsail)
that works entirely differently, doesn't even
use ld, does such things its own (also nice) way.)

Thanks!

Probably because I enabled motif instead of Xaw3d when I ran the configure
script.  Do you really want the Athena widget set?  Is that library
actuallly on your system?  Where?  If it's in /opt/sfw/lib then your
environment should contain

[duhring]$ echo $LDFLAGS
-L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib -L/opt/sfw/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib
 
before running the configure script.

A blank line appeared because I do not have either of those values set in
my environment.  I do not require them for any of the software which I
have built on this machine.  Neither are they required for the OS software
supplied by Sun; they built those binaries with the correct LDFLAGS in the
compiler user's environment.

http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html 

No, my opinion is that neither of those values should be set.  They are
unnecessary and evil.  Set LDFLAGS in your environment correctly -before-
running any GNU configure script.

You probably should also set CC and CFLAGS:

[duhring]$ echo $CC
/usr/sfw/bin/gcc
[duhring]$ echo $CFLAGS
-O2 -pipe -mcpu=ultrasparc

This is what I used:

[emacs-21.3]$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/sfw --with-x-toolkit=motif \
--with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-gif --with-png --with-x

Thanks to you two for explaining that.

Where do I find actual documentation on what an ELF system is?
First time I've seen the word.
(There's always google, but maybe someone knows the "best"
doc, right off.)

Likewise, thanks for the above new-to-me info --
never before heard of LD_RUN_PATH, nor of ldd.  Thanks!

With my having to delve through several levels of makefiles,
maybe you could explain why making an (untested) emacs requires
running emacs itself.  If not for testing, are they using
emacs (specially-written) functions to actually build
things that get included in the final emacs itself?
Whatever, if not just testing, it sounds clever.

 
-------- Please, could one or more explain the below
back-and-forth?  Sounds good, but said to be wrong???

Question: does any 2nd person agree that I should use
the above config-args -- either as-is, or with modifications.

Thanks.

I removed nothing from your post, for this reply,
because it's so informative.

It's now 6:15pm EST that I first see your post,
and going through the thread, just asked some
things that you answered here.

For doc for everyone, and maybe that should be included
in the emacs build-doc, if you have a second way to
answer those, just for different angle on same subject
by even same person, maybe answer those repeated
questions?

SURELY, the info in this thread should not just
disappear into deja-seen-long-ago, but should
be stuffed into the emacs building-doc!

---

To summarize one of your points, you say to set
the LDFLAGS *now*, eg in .cshrc, so it's always
there.

And to IGNORE the idea of a RUN path.  (Since one
person evidently believes in it, maybe a few
educational words on why not -- the more you
explain, in some depth, the more that other
people will learn, and have an easier time with
building eg emacs.)


THANKS!!!

I now have lots of things to read-over *in-detail*,
before I go have a try at emacs again.

---

Oh, is there some EASY way, cookbook like, to grab
an emacs from CVS, without having to *learn* the
whole freaking thing?

The --with-xpm, --with-jpeg, --with-tiff, --with-gif, and --with-png,
and --with-x should be unnecessary (they are autodetected).
The --with-x-toolkit=motif is your choice, depending on whether you prefer
the Motif toolkit for scrollbars and menus or the Xaw3d toolkit for
scrollbars and the Lucid toolkit for menus.

You have Xaw3d installed on your system in /usr/sfw/lib as your
listing has shown, so it should work just fine as long as you make sure
to tell the executable where the Xaw3d library can be found.

For that you need to either provide a -R/usr/sfw/lib argument or an
LD_RUN_PATH to the C compiler (the C compiler did find the library while
compiling,  but the compiler does not assume that the library will be at the
same spot when you run the program as when you compile) or set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you forgot to give the relevant info to the compiler.
The -R option is the best choice.

The same issue you're seeing with Xaw3d might occur with Motif, of course,
depending on where the library is installed and what is the default search
path for dynamically linked libraries.

If you're referring to me, I don't advocate the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
either.  I only suggested you to *try* it to see if it works around your
problem (which it should have, but it seems that you didn't even bother to
try or to report the result of trying).
Trying it this way is a matter of 10 seconds (no need to reconfigure and/or
recompile).

Any particular reason the -R stuff isn't added for a Solaris build?

Yes, so that it is in your environment -anytime- you run a configure
script.  Note that not all those configure scripts will create proper
LDFLAGS in your Makefiles.  You need to monitor that; for each -L in the
linking output there needs be a corresponding -R.

Considering c-shell you might also want to read this:

Solaris run-time linker, ld.so.1, does not even recognize that LD_RUN_PATH
value.  man ld.so.1  It does not even appear in the ld.so(8) man page for
Linux.

EMACS is a GNU utility.  I don't know about a publicly readable CVS
repository for it, but you might check at http://www.gnu.org.

I remember discussions about it a long time ago, but didn't know
enough at that time and can't remember what was the conclusion.
It's odd also that the PROBLEMS file only mention LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and LD_RUN_PATH without mentioning the -R arg in LDFLAGS.

I hope somebody who knows more about how `configure' chooses the -L and -R
args could help us at least write a better entry in PROBLEMS.

How do I do that?  Is there some way that I can add it as
a config arg?  Or as an env-variable?  Or do I have to
go into the resulting makefile (Makefile?) and add it, by
hand, after cc command?

Here's some lines from the Makefile:











(an *Occur* buffer):
3 lines matching "(CC)" in buffer Makefile<2>.

     79:LD = $(CC)

     and showing that piece's matching lines just below (with,

For anyone's edification,  I did two M-x Occurs in the Makefile,
and I show them here, along with the matched lines and
each with some surrounding context-lines.

Anyone eager to write in come comments or other

LD_RUN_PATH is used only by the compile time linker as a default
for the -R option.

That's the part I never bothered to learn.
What I do is `make' then look for the command that did the link
(in make's output) and copy&paste it into the shell, edit to
my liking and rerun.
It seems that Dave understands autoconf a bit better so he uses
a more principled way to do it.

FWIW, there does exist a book about Autoconf,
although the customer-blurbs on Amazon say
that it's already out of date, and leaves
out lots of stuff.

I assume it's a lot better than having no book at all.

/tmp/emacs-21.3/src/Makefile generated with $LDFLAGS=""

LDFLAGS= -L/usr/openwin/lib
X11_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/openwin/lib
LIBX= $(LIBXMENU) $(X11_LDFLAGS) $(LIBXT) -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lm -lXpm -lX11

Note that the -R/usr/openwin/lib linking argument does not exist.  Neither
does -L/usr/sfw/lib and hence /usr/ccs/bin/ld is NOT going to find
libtiff.so, libjpeg.so or libpng.so, let alone provide the required
run-time link paths.

Now export LDFLAGS properly and run configure again.  The src/Makefile now
has:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib
X11_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/openwin/lib
LIBX= $(LIBXMENU) $(X11_LDFLAGS) $(LIBXT) -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lm -lXpm -lX11

The build time linker will now not only find the required libraries but
will place the library search path within the resultant binary executables.

Libtool had nothing to do with it.

Thanks much!  Since libtool -- first time I've heard
of it.

Oh, there it is -- in sfw, info-pages and everything.

I'll have a read.

Since I uses csh, I made a  file env.source:

setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/openwin/lib'
setenv X11_LDFLAGS  '-L/usr/openwin/lib'
setenv LIBX '$(LIBXMENU) $(X11_LDFLAGS) $(LIBXT) -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lm -lXpm -lX11'

, and then said "source env.source", and then "env", and got:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/openwin/lib
X11_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/openwin/lib
LIBX=$(LIBXMENU) $(X11_LDFLAGS) $(LIBXT) -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lm -lXpm -lX11

I think (maybe wrongly, for sure!) that csh has no export cmd,
nor(?) needs one?

Oh, better do a "make clean", I suppose, first.

Re: Has anyone actually built emacs 21.3 for SOLARIS (sparc)?

[David Combs]

OK, I did, I think, what I was told to do,
and I still get the same error.


I did a make clean, then the ./configure, and
looked at the resulting src/Makefile.


Here's what I ended up with in that src/Makefile:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib
...
X11_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/openwin/lib   
LIBX= $(LIBXMENU) $(X11_LDFLAGS) $(LIBXT)         -lXpm  -lX11     

I then did "make", which started out like this:

the doc said only for the make install.)

No.  You set up your env.source incorrectly.  I keep telling you that
LDFLAGS must contain -L and -R entries for each library directory and you
did not even bother with -R/usr/openwin/lib in your env.source file.

Right, but you need to use setenv, which is the csh equivalent to
ksh,bash,zsh export.

Just remove config.cache and config.status if you have a clean source
tree.

That is because libtiff, libjpeg, etc were not found.

It will not build correctly.

Of course you got the same error.  You keep refusing to include
-R/usr/openwin/lib in your $LDFLAGS.  tmacs cannot find it because you did
not do that.

Fix your env.source file, make clean, remove config.cache & config.status
and run configure again with the proper $LDFLAGS.

Perhaps you should consider changing your shell for the purpose of
building emacs.  Re-read this:

 http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/

Create a ~/.bashrc like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PATH=/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:
/usr/sfw/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin
export PATH

PS1="[\W]$ "

export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib 
-R/usr/sfw/lib'
export CC=/usr/sfw/bin/gcc
export CXX=/usr/sfw/bin/g++
export CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe -mcpu=ultrasparc'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now from your csh prompt, just execute "bash"

Go back to the directory where your emacs tarball resides and 

$ rm -r emacs-21.3
$ gzip -cd emacs-21.3.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd emacs-21.3
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/sfw   # or whereever you want it to go
$ make

FYI: there are now binaries of emacs 21.3, for solaris 8 and later, on
mirror sites of www.blastwave.org

[For both sparc and x86. And technically, it will take a few hours for all
 the mirrors to sync up]

Since I've already got the sources downloaded,
and I'll probably soon have it "made" ok,
I probably won't get the blastwave "binary"
(actually, solaris "package"?).

But  a question:

Suppose in a case like this, you like the current
version ok, but want to try the new one.

However, in case it's not so great after all,
I'd want to keep using the OLD one.

Looking at the blastwave page, it implies (says
right out!) that the new one gets installed
OVER the old one -- the old one would be GONE,
no?

So, first question: how to be able to restore
the "old" one?


Second question (similar): Suppose you want
to *compare* how they run'; you want to
be able to run either one, or, for emacs,
have both running at the same time, switching
between via switching from one (cde) window
to another.

How to do that?

Thanks!

David

OK, tried both the bash and the .cshrc you sent;
HOURS spent until I finally noticed that you
had /usr/sfw/, but solaris-NINE wants it in
/opt/sfw   (I believe that's who wanted it
there, not me).

Once I fixed that, at least it could run gcc;
however, no matter which of your suggested ways
I tried (starting with the huge rm almost each
time), I always got the same error:

None, really.  I use gcc-3.2.2 built from source using gcc from the
Solaris 9 Software Companion CD; then I pkgrm'd SFWgcc and all of its
dependencies and I no longer have /opt/sfw.

Since Sun chose to add its supported free software in /usr/sfw that is
where I placed the rest of the free software built from source on this
system.

Solaris 9 -does not- "but solaris-NINE wants it in /opt/sfw   (I believe
that's who wanted it there, not me)".  If you did a complete install of
Solaris 9 you will indeed find much free software in /usr/sfw.

I built emacs-21.3 again and saved all of the output of the configure
script and make and will send it to you via email.  Perhaps you can see
from that where your problems lie.

blastwave installs all its packages in /opt/csw

I dont think you installed yours in /opt/csw :-)
"old one" refers to "older blastwave packages"

If you really meant, "how do I try out an older version of a blastwave
package, and a newer version";

ideally, newer blastwave packages are always an improvement over old ones,
otherwise the maintainer would not update the package.
If you find a case where the newer one is worse than the old one, you
should file a bug against the package, on http://www.blastwave.org/bugtrack/
The maintainer should then release a newer "new" version, with your issue
resolved.

Note: Followups set to comp.unix.solaris only ;-)

Aaarrgh!  You're right (as usual).  There's TWO sfw's!


Above, you said you built, from source, gcc, and got rid
of SFWgcc and all it's dependencies.

That I understand.

The "and I no longer have /opt/sfw." -- how did that dissappear?
Presumably not via "and all it's dependencies", but by
deliberate pkgrm of everything there, and then rm -r of /opt/sfw.

But why?  There's a HUGE amount of software in /opt/sfw?

I ask because I've gotten to know you well enough to know
that you always (it seems) have really good reasons for whatever
you do.

-----

Suppose you hadn't deleted all of /opt/sfw/, except for the
gcc package there.

What sfw-stuff would you then have on your PATH and LDFLAGS?
Both of them -- every /usr/sfw/... would perhaps be paired with
a /opt/sfw/...?

pkgrm; rm -r

Only if you put it there.  I did not.  I installed SFWgcc in order to be
able to build gcc-3.2.2.  Once I had gcc-3.2.2 installed I had no more use
for /opt/sfw.
 
Libraries compiled with gcc-2.95.3 are incompatible with binaries built
with gcc-3.2.2, and I cannot afford the license for Sun's compilers.

/opt/sfw does not exist.  You have my PATH in the .bashrc file which I
sent you.  For others it is:

[duhring]$ echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:

You will see from the 3 files which I sent you that emacs can indeed be
built on Solaris 9 SPARC.  No way in hell I could be bothered to fake all
that ;-)

Oops!  Only the libraries built with g++-2.95.3 are incompatible with
binaries built with g++-3.x.x.

The /opt/sfw (and now /usr/sfw) directory is a bad idea by Sun.  Save
yourself some grief and make /usr/local a symbolic link to whichever
directory your version of Solaris came with.

What came compiled with gcc-3.2.2?

Anything supplied by Sun -- including in that companion-cd?

I finally managed, yesterday, to get emacs built, and
I had to add opt/sfw/bin to path, and likewise for
the ldflags for the -L and -R pair.

Here -- I'll include what I just got through saying
to someone else in this thread:


----------------------- start:
Finally, just yesterday, using Uhring's ideas and 
sample .cshrc, I got it built,  Whew!

I used this for LDPATH [sic: LDFLAGS}:

setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib    -L/opt/sfw/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib'

(One long line; didn't like the \-continuation --
the stuff on the continuation-line never got
into the Makefile, and also got a sed-error
somewhere.  My setup must be different from his;
he didn't need the /opt/-stuff either, but for
me, gcc was there.)
------------------------ end.

Also this:
  set path=(/sbin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/dt/bin /usr/sfw/bin \
      /usr/openwin/bin /usr/ccs/bin     /opt/sfw/bin)
 ie, yours plus the opt, for gcc.

Oh yes it does.  During 9's installation,
I must have answered some question differently from you.

Looks like I really screwed up where I got things placed
during initial install.  Even though I had sun-service on
the phone while I did it!


Turns out that I'm getting some of the same problems
I got with 21.2.1 -- I'll have to play with it
with both of them with -q and --no-site-file.


Well, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP!

Ah, only for C++ compiling.

Well, which ones that you use have been compiled with
the 3.x.x, and which with 2.95.3?

The ones that sun supplies, either straight or
on companion cd, how are *they* compiled?

Thanks

Thanks.


You mean make /usr/local a symlink to either /opt/sfw or /usr/sfw,
whichever one I have?

Well, probably due to answering some question wrong (or maybe right?),
I have *both*.

Perhaps best to make /usr/local a symlink to something on
a different partition, and keep them all separate,
so that the companion-disk stuff stays in an sfw-dir,
and the stuff I build can go in the /usr/local,
where so much stuff still seems to want to live.

AFAIK, every binary supplied by Sun was built using their own compilers. 
And those libraries do seem to be compatible with binaries built using
gcc-3.2.2.  I have KDE-3.1.1a compiled and installed on this system.  KDE
requires libjpeg and I use jpeg supplied with the OE.

Had I known that you had installed packages from the Software Companion CD
I would have included those arguments to $LDFLAGS.

/opt/sfw gets created when you install packages from the Software
Companion CD.  It is not there otherwise.

Not a screw up as to where things got placed.  You simply have to know
where they are and adjust your environment accordingly.
