[ruby-core:27847] [Bug #2638] ruby-1.9.1-p37[68] build on aix5.3 with gcc-4.2 failed to run for me because it ignores where libgcc is located.

Issue #2638 has been updated by Joel Soete.


Hello Sir,

Please accept my apology, I am always trying to be more accurate in my pr report but here I was a bit disturbe.

So here is my configure options:
./configure \
            --prefix=/opt/${Co}pware \
            --program-suffix=1.9 \
            --libexecdir="\${prefix}/lib/ruby1.9" \
            --mandir=/opt/${Co}pware/man \
            --infodir=/opt/${Co}pware/info \
            --enable-shared

(with variable Co="mce-" as you certainly guess)

That said, # gcc -print-libgcc-file-name
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/libgcc.a

returns well the full path of libgcc.a but my libgcc_s.a is in the same dir:

# ll /opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/
total 7616

drwxr-xr-x    3 root     system          256 Aug 07 06:49 pthread

Well it would be more clean to run full 'make test' but after the installation some samples seems to work fine:
# ruby1.9 ./sample/fib.rb 
6765

# ruby1.9 ./test/test_timeout.rb
Loaded suite ./test/test_timeout
Started
.
Finished in 0.134635 seconds.

# ruby1.9 ./test/ruby/test_thread.rb
Loaded suite ./test/ruby/test_thread
Started
...............................
Finished in 21.258614 seconds.

31 tests, 101 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips

1 tests, 1 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips

Anyway, I already see 2 issues:
    - I don't now if it wouldn't be better to use the 'pthread' version of libgcc_s
      (/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/pthread)?
    - how would I manage a 64bit build:
        * normaly I would simply use -m64 gcc compile option to do so;
        * but "# gcc -m64 -print-libgcc-file-name" always return same result and not
          /opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/ppc64?

Thanks a lot for your attention,
    J.
