Subject: [ruby-dev:39340] [Bug #1914] ruby-1.9.1-p243 failed to build from source on aix 5.3 with gcc 4.2.0

チケット #1914 が更新されました。 (by Joel Soete)


Hello all,

Sorry but I couldn't test all stuff published on this forum <http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/193040#841466> just because am I out of office for some holiday ;<)

That said, I couldn't read comments because my FireFox just shows me garbage (I do have missed some language support, though) even though I don't read Japanese at all (very sorry).

Any way, I guess to have understand that making some '.exp' file is requested even thought I reach to build ruby without this file?

If I well understand this topic, I read this interesting thread imho:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2003-07/msg00082.html>
where the mentioned script:
nm -BCpg *.o | awk '{ if ((($2 == "T") || ($2 == "D") || ($2 == "B")) && (substr($3,1,1) != ".")) { print $3 } }' | sort -u > icu.exp

seems to do the same job as the 'CreateExportList' of xlc (the native AIX C compiler).

Otoh as much as I can read there are a lot of different way to create this '.exp' file and python project have this "Modules/makexp_aix" script in its src tree for this purpose.

Thanks a lot, I will try to comeback asap with test of different suggested patches.

J.
