FW: Mac Intel Leopard guile 1.8.4 link fails

[Neil Jerram]

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
ld: warning codegen in ___gmpn_popcount (offset 0x0000000E) prevents

Can you help us understand and/or fix this?

Thanks,

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.)

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

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!
Regards

Roger

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!
