FW: Mac Intel Leopard guile 1.8.4 link fails

Hi there!

Guile uses GMP as you may know, and one of our MacOS users has
reported the following link error, which appears to be related to GMP.

ld: warning codegen in ___gmpn_popcount (offset 0x00000007) prevents  
image from loading in dyld shared cache

Can you help us understand and/or fix this?

There is nothing a poor GMP developer can do about a bug report
like this.

If you file a proper bug report, with all the facts and with a test
case, then we can perhaps help.

That's fair enough.  I guess I was hoping that this was something
you've seen before, and so could throw some light on without a "proper
bug report".

Given that it isn't, we'll work on the proper reporting!

Hi Neil.

I wonder if its got something to do with my GMP version:
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.3.4.2.dylib

Maybe.  What release version of GMP does that correspond to?  (Note
that shared library numbers are not necessarily the same as release
numbers.)

[Roger Mc Murtrie]

Well, Maybe not!
For gmp-4.2.2 I just did
./configure
make
sudo make install

then for guile-1.8.4
./configure
make
Success!
make check
All tests passed.

Mysterious!

Well that's good news.  I'm sure there are subtle build
inconsistencies that might account for the problem that you were
getting before, so I won't worry about that further until and unless
it happens consistently again.

Many thanks for all your help with reporting and testing!

Have you tried Guile 1.8.1 in MacPorts? - It seems to work on PPC G4.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for reporting this.  I was just wondering if this is a
regression since 1.8.3 - i.e. a problem that we've introduced by
something between 1.8.3 and 1.8.4.

As far as I remember, the 1.8.3 Leopard build was blocked by "64" API
problems, but I think you managed to work around those.  If you can
still remember, did the build then complete?

If it did complete, I guess this must be a regression.

Regards,
    Neil

Hi Neil,
	We ended up building 1.8.3 successfully with Leopard using ./ 
configure without any switches etc.
The 64 problem was avoided,  I think, by not defining HAVE_STAT64  in  
the config.h.in file:
/* Define to 1 if you have the `stat64' function. */
/* #undef HAVE_STAT64 */
The generated 1.8.3 then contained
/* Define to 1 if you have the `stat64' function. */
/* #undef HAVE_STAT64 */

The supplied 1.8.4 config.h.in file has
/* Define to 1 if you have the `stat64' function. */
#undef HAVE_STAT64

and
/* Define to 1 in order to try to use "64" versions of system and  
library
    calls. */
#undef GUILE_USE_64_CALLS
which I seem to recall had to do with a proposed solution for Mac OSX?

But the 1.8.4 config.h has
/* Define to 1 if you have the `stat64' function. */
#define HAVE_STAT64 1

I tried running autoconf but configure still generated a config.h with
#define HAVE_STAT64 1

I'll try changing config.h to
#undef HAVE_STAT64
I'll let ypu know the result.

Fortunately, I still have the 1.8.3 build files.

Regards
Roger
