[gentoo-user] openwatcom ebuild question

[David Relson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1060 bytes --]

As background, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233097 has an
experimental, unsupported ebuild for openwatcom-1.7.1 and it doesn't
quite work :-<

The ebuild's src_compile function is:

    src_compile() {
        ./build.sh || die "build.sh failed"
    }

When I run "emerge =dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1", the build fails with

    /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
    i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `bootstrp/clibext.o' is
    incompatible with i386 output distcc[16016] ERROR: compile (null)
    on localhost failed

The full output of the emerge command is in the attached file.

Alternatively, I can manually unpack and build with commands:

    ebuild =dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1.ebuild unpack
    cd /var/tmp/dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1/work
    ./build.sh

With the steps performed manually, the compilation works properly.

Anybody familiar with the "i386:x86-64 ... incompatible ... i386"
message and know what it means?

Any suggestions on ebuild changes to correct this behavior?

Thanks !

David

You use distcc. But seems to be not well configured. Just disable distcc to
build the package (FEATURES=-distcc in /etc/make.conf).

Do you use distcc? Try if the ebuild works with temporary disabling
distcc. If distcc is to blame, fixing wont be that easy. You have to
examine build.sh and fix it in order to work with distcc.

Okay, this is not a distcc problem.

From looking at the bug. Do you really think by just tricking the
architecture check to accept x86_64 will make it magically compile. You
can't be serious! This software does not build on x86_64 at the moment.
If you don't have the appropriate programming skills to fix this
yourself you have to wait for the openwatcom developers to make it
x86_64 ready.

Xavier,

It helps a lot!  I had installed distcc, but never quite got it
working.  Getting it working is on my TODO list, but I hadn't thought
of it when the problem occurred.

Thanks!

Daniel,

A detail I meant to include in my original posting is that I'm
attempting the build on (and for) a 32 bit machine.  So distcc _is_
the problem.

The lack of 64-bit buildability for openwatcom is a whole 'nother
subject and I'm in communication with the developer about it.

Regards,

David

Is this the very famous watcom compiler that's been around longer than MS-DOS 
and eventually ended up being owned by Sybase?

Or disable distcc in the ebuild.

Or add FEATURES="-distcc" to /etc/portage/env/dev-land/openwatcom-1.7.1
Create whatever of the path is missing.

Everything correct. I was just confused as there were two problems
distcc on one hand and the 64bit problem in the other hand.

You are correct -- though lacking the "Sybase released it to the open
source world" detail.

Sybase actually release the source to something? Surely you jest?

I used to work for the local Sybase reseller. I would not have thought 
management would ever have open-sourced anything.

Well, well, whaddayaknow. Miracles do happen.

watcom was a very nice compiler back in the day. I remember it trashing the 
pants off anything else in the market (this was in the DOS-3.x era)

For more on Watcom C's history, including the Sybase release as open
source, see http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/History

I used Watcom C quite a bit in the mid '90s to develop a bookkeepping
program for Michigan Bingo games, and even made some spending money
off of the project :->  

At that time, my host operating system was 32-bit OS/2 and the target
was 16-bit DOS.  Watcom worked like a champion for me!
