Hello,

after running 'configure' with this autogenerated command line:

autogenerated wrapper script used to run 'make so'

Please note that I'm running "make -f makefile so" rather than just
"make so" - I wanted to make sure that the "makefile" and not the "Makefile"
is picked by 'make'.

I did try to run just "make so" - the result is the same.
Comment 2 Hin-Tak Leung 2008-01-06 16:07:16 UTC 
current svn with 
"./configure 
--prefix=/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/install/ghostscript-8.61 --with-omni
--enable-dynamic --with-libiconv=gnu"
then "make so" does not segfault. Note that:

1) The line "./obj/../soobj/echogs -w ./obj/../soobj/devs.tr - -include
./obj/../soobj/unix_"
look incomplete - please attach complete log if that's the case.

2) the submitted shell script defines $PATH containing over 1700 characters
and similiarly for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc and has a single line of over 8000
characters.

3) "obj/../soobj/devs.tr" on ghostscript svn on a reasonably sane linux 
build system (unlike the user's) already contains a line of nearly 6000
characters.   

Based on 1), 2) and 3), I suspect that it is another user error - GNU bash, 
GNU make or GCC may have command-length limits which the user's particular
preference has exceeded (e.g. I can see that the combined gcc linker command
with all the includes and object files can easily exceed 65536) If the 
user refuses to change his preferences and habits, I suggest the bug 
being closed as WORKFORME and the user is referred to filing the bug 
elsewhere, possibly against gcc (or bash or make). 

The segfault seems to be one of gcc, bash or make's.
Comment 3 Sergei Steshenko 2008-01-06 17:51:17 UTC

Screen output of make_-f_makefile_so.sh run

Attached is redirected screen output make_-f_makefile_so.sh run, i.e.
there can't be any copy-paste artifacts.

So, if something looks truncated in the file, so it is.

In the file one can see these lines:

"  8  ./obj/../soobj/echogs -w ./obj/../soobj/devs.tr - -include
./obj/../soobj/unix_
9  make[1]: *** [obj/../soobj/devs.tr] Segmentation fault
".

FWIW, "obj/../soobj/devs.tr" file does not exist:

"
ergei@amdam2:/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/ghostscript-8.61.bug689641>
ls ./obj/../soobj/devs.tr
ls: cannot access ./obj/../soobj/devs.tr: No such file or directory
sergei@amdam2:/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/ghostscript-8.61.bug689641>

".

So, I do not think there is a command line length problem.

If you wish, I can a tarball from the failing build directory, and you'll
be able to see contents of all the files of interest youselves.

Grabbing some some of Ralph's bugs.
Comment 5 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-05-05 02:23:36 UTC 
See http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691264#c4

It is now clear that the "then created the needed symbolic link:.." part in the initial report is out-dated, and just does not work on modern systems. Plain "configure" then "make so" (which is what I wrote in comment 2) works, and the 'create link' step is just faulty, and current documentation reflects that.
