Build problems on Solaris 8
by Robert W. Johnstone 16 Dec '07

Hello, I've tried building CLN 1.1.13 on a machine using Solaris 8. I'm having difficulty getting the library to pass all its tests. I've tried building CLN using gcc 4.1.1, with the following combinations of flags: "-O", "-O1", and "-O1 -fno-schedule-insns". The library fails many of the integer_floor_tests. I've attached the log from running tests/exam. Additionally, I've tried compiling with gcc 3.4.0 with the flags "-O -fno-schedule_insns". The library then fails sfloat_mul_tests 72 through 75. I'm uncertain what would be causing the errors. Thank-you, ---------------------------------------- Robert Johnstone Simon Fraser University http://www.sfu.ca/~rjohnsto/

Hello! I got problems with building CLN on PowerPC64. uname -a Linux blade1 2.6.5-7.252-pseries64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 14 11:11:04 UTC 2006 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux make ... In file included from base/cl_N.h:6, from base/cl_as_err.cc:7: ../include/cln/number.h: In constructor `cln::cl_number::cl_number()': ../include/cln/number.h:191: error: `cl_FN_tag' undeclared (first use this function) ../include/cln/number.h:191: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) And it seems i know why does it happen: <config.h> ... #ifndef __powerpc64__ #define __powerpc64__ 1 #endif ... <object.h> ... #if defined(__alpha__) || defined(__ia64__) || defined(__mips64__) || defined(__powerpc64__) || defined(__sparc64__) || defined(__x86_64__) #define cl_word_alignment 8 #endif ... // Definition of the tags. #if !defined(CL_WIDE_POINTERS) #if (cl_word_alignment == 2) #define cl_FN_tag 1 #define cl_SF_tag 3 // must satisfy the cl_immediate_p predicate! #endif #if (cl_word_alignment == 4) #define cl_FN_tag 1 #define cl_SF_tag 2 #endif #else // CL_WIDE_POINTERS // Single Floats are immediate as well. #define cl_FN_tag 1 #define cl_SF_tag 2 #define cl_FF_tag 3 #endif There is no branch defining tags for powerpc64 (cl_word_alignment==8) Please, tell me what values should i write in #define or explain what am i doing wrong. Thank you! -- Best regards, Dmitry mailto:khutornoy@gmail.com

Hello cln-developers and cln-listmoderator, I want to know how it is the correct form to cite cln. 1. first in a paper? 2. in a GNU-software for Linux that uses the library? best regards -- Ms. C.
