Subject: compilation error: gcc does not take -KPIC
Platform: Solaris2.X/Sparc
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.7 CVS 10-5-04
I tried to update Grass 5.3 and 5.7 from CVS today after a LONG time, and 5.3
compiled fine, but 5.7 didn't. Running make, gcc kept spitting out
"gcc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'"
This was never an issue before, and -KPIC isn't a flag when compiling 5.3. What
does it do? How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Gilead Wurman

What does it do? How can I fix this?
-KPIC comes from the compile flags used for shared libraries. They are
used on 5.3 if you pass the --enable-gmake=no option to configure. But
actually if you tried this on 5.3 you wouldn't have got the error because
I changed -KPIC to -fPIC for gcc on Solaris a few weeks ago.
Just this afternoon I applied the same change to 5.7 so if you update now
and try again you should get a bit further. Please let us know how you get
on as the build doesn't get much testing on Solaris these days AFAIK.

Hi Paul,
I updated this morning, and the -KPIC did indeed change to -fPIC, but this
seems to have broken some library links. All the -lgrass_* calls return
/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/bin/ld: cannot find -lgrass_display
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: ***
[/export/home/gwurman/Codes/grass57/dist.sparc-sun-solaris2.8/bin/d.linegraph]
Error 1
Also, perhaps unrelated, there seem to be a variety of symlinks missing, as
occasionally I get things like:
find: cannot open
/export/home/gwurman/Codes/grass57/dist.sparc-sun-solaris2.8/scripts/d.m: No
such file or directory
find: cannot follow symbolic link /bin/oldjava: No such file or directory
find: cannot follow symbolic link /bin/javald: No such file or directory
find: cannot follow symbolic link /bin/ImageMagick: No such file or directory
find: cannot follow symbolic link /usr/bin/oldjava: No such file or directory
find: cannot follow symbolic link /usr/bin/javald: No such file or directory
find: cannot follow symbolic link /usr/bin/ImageMagick: No such file or directory

such file or directory
find: cannot follow symbolic link /usr/lib/locale/fr_CA.ISO8859-1/LC_MESSAGES:
No such file or directory
Is this just old makefile, or is it something to worry about?
Thanks,

Hi Markus,
In trying to answer your question I see that some big changes have been
made since last time I checked out the code. For starters, I see that
5.3 has become 5.4, so I guess congratulations are in order :-)
Also I see from the makefile that mix is no longer needed. Does that
mean I don't need the current 5.4 version at all to install 5.7?
Anyway, I tried making the updated 5.7 and a bunch of stuff is missing
(header files, etc.) I'm going to just check out a new copy of both
versions and see if that cleans it up a bit.

OK, with new checkouts of both 5.4 and 5.7 the latter still gives three kinds
of errors.
The symlink errors still crop up in a few places, though it qualitatively
seems less common than in the last checkout I did a few weeks ago.
There are a couple of header files not found, notably rtree.h, dgl.h and
shapefil.h crop up several times.
Finally there are still library errors with all the -lgrass_* calls, which I
believe is because I have an outdated glibc on this system. Have to wait for
the admin to get around to updating it, then will let you know.
BTW, sorry about the last post, I tried to email Markus personally and I
goofed, so it came here. One day I'll get it :-) |

Hi,
there was a bug in the cleanup routine.
You have to be sure that all links to 5.3 are eliminated.
Then in the grass57 source dir:
cvs login
PW: grass
(once needed only, CVS remembers)
cvs up -dP
make distclean
configure ...
make
Now it should compile.
Please try again.
Markus

OK, it's been a few weeks. I saw that you put out grass 6.0.0 beta...
congratulations!
I've picked up the beta tar.gz and am restarting my efforts with that version
(unless you think I should stick with 5.7). I do seem to get similar error
messages with this version.
When making the binaries I often get the error:
/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/bin/ld: cannot find -lgrass_*
For kicks I tried "make libs" and the error that comes up most often is of the
sort:
install -m 644 shapefil.h
/export/home/gwurman/Codes/grass6/dist.sparc-sun-solaris2.8/include/grass/shapefil.h
find: cannot open

I've been playing around with this for a while now, and I've figured out what
seems to be the prevailing issue. Whenever the command "install" is invoked
in a makefile (which is unfortunately quite often), it checks the install
directory for a preexisting file. The purpose of this is to warn the user
about overwriting files, but on my system if "find" doesn't locate a file
about to be overwritten it cries and "install" craps out.
I'm currently working around this by going into the makefiles and adding
"touch" commands before each install command, but it's a hack (not to mention
a pain). So far it seems to have worked on the libraries. If there's a
better way around this, someone please let me know.
Thanks,
Gilead Wurman
