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.
Created attachment 3878 [details] ( gmake so 2>&1 ) > /tmp/libgs.log This is the log of the specific failure, if you want to see the full log i have it.
Created attachment 3879 [details] 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.
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.
Another bug has been added to the system, for Sparc solaris that appears to be the same problem: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689872
quite possibly same as bug 686865 - and see the linker flag mod's there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 686865 ***
