In regard to: Re: [rpm-list] problems compiling rpm on solaris, Edward...:
'./'`aesopt.s
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./.. -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Xa -xstrconst -xs -mt -KPIC -mt -Wa,--noexecstack

That's because beecrypt's configure didn't correctly detect that
--noexecstack and/or -Wa,--noexecstack are not valid options for
the Solaris assembler.
I reported that issue in the beecrypt tracker, see:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1486951&group_id=8924&atid=208924
(My sourceforge login is "enchanter"). To fix, just remove
-Wa,--noexecstack
from all the Makefiles that it occurs in.
Thanks for this Tim. I wouldn't have got that in a million years! In the end
I also had to download beecrypt from cvs, as the 4.1.2 stable release had a
problem with linking even after I removed the noexecstack (from the
configure script).
Following that I had to recompile libxml2 with Workshop C, and then
recompiled rpm again. That got rid of all the libgcc dependencies. But to
keep everything in one place, I copied the beecrypt and libxml shared object
libraries into /opt/rpm/lib, set the runpath LDFLAGS=-R/opt/rpm/lib and
recompiled rpm one last time, then made a solaris package of it. Talk about
doing things the hard way!
After installing the package on another box, I discovered a missing libC
dependency. It turned out that the workshop studio 11 install had patched
the libC, so I needed a minimum of
SUNWlibC 108434-18
on the other box. Fortunately that was quite an easy patch to put on and
didn't require a reboot.
The rpm was fine after that.
I just want to say a big thanks to you and Jeff for all the help you've
given me this week. I really really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Ed.
