Compilation problem with macosX PPC: version>5.14

Thomas · August 28, 2008, 10:34am

Hello,

Sorry for this very basic question but I did not find any hints in the previous posts of this forum.

Here is my problem encountered with a macosX PPC (10.4.11) and gcc4.0.1.

I tried to compile root 5.14 (downloaded via http), 5.18 (downloaded via svn) and 5.20 (svn) and I have systematically the same compilation error:

I hope someone works with a mac PPC and succeedeed in compiling a version of root (later than 5.14) to help me to solve this problem…

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Sorry far a late reply … things are quite crazy at CERN.
Did you manage to fix the issue? Do you have glx package installed? I don’t have a mac so I’m not really sure what should be there.

Best,
Matevz

Thomas · October 27, 2008, 5:25pm

Thanks for your answer…

Yes, I have the glx installed => glu version 1.3

I succedeed in installing the ROOT version 5.10 but failed with the 5.14 and later…

Any ideas ??

Many thanks

Thomas

Hi,

What is your compiler version? I just compiled root successfully with:
bash> gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin9
Configured with: /var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5465~16/src/configure --disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0 --with-slibdir=/usr/lib --build=i686-apple-darwin9 --with-arch=apple --with-tune=generic --host=i686-apple-darwin9 --target=i686-apple-darwin9
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)

I think I remember Fons was advising somebody to update the compiler sometime ago.

This might help to somebody else looking into this … are you still using 10.4.11?

Cheers,
Matevz

Thomas · October 30, 2008, 2:11pm

Hi,

This is my gcc version (macOsX 10.4.11)

Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-apple-darwin8
Configured with: /private/var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5247.obj~4/src/configure --disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0 --build=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --host=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --target=powerpc-apple-darwin8
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5247)

Do you think I need to update my gcc ??

Thanks a lot

Yes, if you can, please do …

I’ll send a mail to Fons … he knows more abot the mac stuff.

Soon,
Matevz

Hi,

please install the latest xcode for 10.4 on your machine. That should indeed fix this compilation problem.

Cheers, Fons.

Thomas · October 31, 2008, 3:16pm

Hi all,

Thanks for your answer…

I have updated to XCode 2.5 (last version for PPC 10.4) and the new version of my gcc leads

Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-apple-darwin8
Configured with: /var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5370~2/src/configure --disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0 --with-slibdir=/usr/lib --build=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --host=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --target=powerpc-apple-darwin8
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)

Unfortunately, I have exactly the same error…

If you have any ideas (except the one to update to PPC 10.5, of course !!)

Cheers

Thomas

rdm · October 31, 2008, 3:48pm

Could you try the svn trunk version. That one should compile fine.

Cheers, Fons.

Thomas · October 31, 2008, 5:07pm

I tried the 5.18 svn trunk version…

Same problem…
I will try the 5.20 svn but I’m not sure that the results will be different…

Cheers

Thomas

rdm · November 1, 2008, 12:37am

I meant the real trunk not a tagged version.

Cheers, Fons.

Thomas · November 3, 2008, 8:06am

I downloaded the svn trunk version and just try to compile it…

Once again, I have exactly the same error.

I don’t know how to solve this problem or if it is definitely impossible to compile under ppc ???

Cheers

Thomas

rdm · November 3, 2008, 9:25am

Ok, this should now be fixed. Do a:

svn up

and try to compile again.

Cheers, Fons.

Thomas · November 5, 2008, 3:48pm

Thanks Fons for trying fixing this problem !

Now, the compilation error takes place in a different class…
This is my compilation output :

Have you got an idea ??

Cheers

This whole issue is a big mess as the behavior in Apple’s gcc changes in the middle of the 10.4 life cycle. On 10.5 there are no problems. I can only definitely fix it next week when I’m back in my office and have access to my sole 10.4 machine (which is turned off right now).

Cheers, Fons.

pmasterkim · December 15, 2008, 12:03am

Hi,
I am also suffering from this problem. I thank you for taking the time to solve this for us.

rdm · December 15, 2008, 1:58pm

Hi,

first make sure you have gcc >= 5363 (get latest Xcode developer tools) and use the ROOT trunk. In that case I’ve no problems on my PPC 10.4.11 machine.

Cheers, Fons.
