Description Jonathan Adams 2008-03-20 05:01:37 UTC

tried in all versions from 8.60 up

failure to link libgs.so.8.62:

"Text relocation remains" ... about 64000 lines of relocation error.

I'm using the installed gcc 3.4.3 that came compiled with Solaris, it's compiled
with Sun's ld.

I have tried compiling with Sun's cc compiler, but it fails at the same stage.

This is the log of the specific failure, if you want to see the full log i have
it.

my configuration log

I tried many configurations, but this is the config of the current build.

/opt/tools has a slightly newer version of SDL, GL and libz, not sure if it
used them, but it's a habit to include them.

Comment 3 Jonathan Adams 2008-03-20 05:11:23 UTC

just thought i'd add that the same config compiled happily in 8.57, and that gs
compiled as a non shared object happily (and when i had my LD_LIBRARY_PATH setup
to point to the old libgs.so and commented out the compile of libgs.so from
unix-dll.mak the rest built fine)

Priorities are set by the Artifex staff. P1 and P2 are for licensed, supported
customer bugs, or those bugs deemed very important by us.

Comment 5 Jonathan Adams 2008-05-30 03:20:37 UTC

Another bug has been added to the system, for Sparc solaris that appears to be
the same problem:

quite possibly same as bug 686865 - and see the linker flag mod's there.
