Before everyone loses it, I have a lot of reasons for
sticking with such an old version. I won't go into
them because they only affect me. But I would very
much appreciate any help from those more in the know,
likely increasing along the way my knowledge of NPTL
and new gcc demands on older software.
Using:
glibc-2.3.6
gcc-4.0.3
binutils-2.16.1
nptl only
rpm-4.0.3 build commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install
yielding the following error during the db build:
creating libtool
./configure: line 13666: syntax error near unexpected
token `('
./configure: line 13666: ` case `(ac_space=' '; set
| grep ac_space) 2>&1` in
which led me to the following solution:
changequote(, )dnl
(set) 2>&1 |
case `(ac_space=' '; set | grep ac_space) 2>&1` in
*ac_space=\ *)
# `set' does not quote correctly, so add quotes
(double-quote substitution
# turns \\\\ into \\, and sed turns \\ into \).
sed -n \
-e "s/'/'\\\\''/g" \
-e
"s/^\\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*_cv_[a-zA-Z0-9_]*\\)=\\(.*\\)/\\1=\${\\1='\\2'}/p"
;;
*)
# `set' quotes correctly as required by POSIX, so
do not add quotes.
sed -n -e
's/^\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*_cv_[a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)=\(.*\)/\1=${\1=\2}/p'
;;
esac >> confcache
changequote([, ])dnl
if cmp -s $cache_file confcache; then
:
I smell that this will not be the only snag with all
of the changes to the toolchain and nptl. I have also
built with the no-pthreads option and get the same
results.
I remember running into the wrong glibc being detected
a while back, which was fixed by changing
#if !defined(__LCLINT__) && defined(__GLIBC__) &&
__GLIBC__ == 2 && __GLIBC_MINOR__ == 2
to
#if !defined(__LCLINT__) && defined(__GLIBC__) && \
(__GLIBC__ > 2 || (__GLIBC__ == 2 && __GLIBC_MINOR__
>= 2))
in rpmio.h.
The solution this time will not likely be as simple,
but I really need to get my hooks into what's going on
and understand it. I just don't have the vast
knowledge of how everything is put together here or
how it is crashing the build. Thanks in advance for
any insight. JBJ--ping, ping
