There seems to be a bug in Squid 5.x's configure script which, on my system at least, consistently kills the calling process thus preventing the build from completing. I haven't tried earlier versions yet. This problem appears with various recent GCC versions, and does not appear to be a bug in my system as there are literally over a thousand other packages that build fine, while Squid consistently dies. This is what it looks like: checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a race-free mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking whether UID '0' is supported by ustar format... yes checking whether GID '0' is supported by ustar format... yes checking how to create a ustar tar archive... gnutar checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether the compiler supports GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to enable C11 features... none needed checking whether gcc understands -c and -o together... yes checking whether make supports the include directive... yes (GNU style) checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3 checking whether the compiler supports GNU C++... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking for g++ option to enable C++11 features... none needed checking dependency style of g++... gcc3 checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu configure: CPU arch native optimization enabled: auto checking whether compiler accepts -march=native... yes checking simplified host os... linux (version ) checking whether g++ supports C++11 features by default... yes checking for ranlib... ranlib checking how to run the C preprocessor... Killed <------ here is the problem # gcc -E checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E checking for sh... /usr/bin/sh checking for false... /usr/bin/false checking for true... /usr/bin/true checking for mv... /usr/bin/mv checking for mkdir... /usr/bin/mkdir checking for ln... /usr/bin/ln checking for chmod... /usr/bin/chmod checking for tr... /usr/bin/tr checking for rm... /usr/bin/rm checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl [...] checking for dirent.h... yes checking for closedir... yes checking for opendir... yes checking for readdir... yes checking for strlcat... no checking for strlcpy... no checking that generated files are newer than configure... done configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing libtool commands At this point the script seems to hang, but actually I only have to press the enter key and the prompt reappears, as the process had been killed. Anyone seen this before? Dave _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
