scipy is probably building part 32-bit on OpenSolaris x64 when SAGE64=yes

[David Kirkby]

Build environment

• Sun Ultra 27 3.33 GHz Intel W3580 Xeon. Quad core. 8 threads. 12 GB RAM
• OpenSolaris 2009.06 snv_134 X86
• Sage 4.4.2
• gcc 4.4.4

How gcc 4.4.4 was configured

Since the configuration of gcc is fairly critical on OpenSolaris, here's how it was built.

drkirkby@hawk:~/sage-4.4.2$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-pc-solaris2.11
Configured with: ../gcc-4.4.4/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.4 --with-as=/usr/local/binutils-2.20/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.4 (GCC) 

gcc 4.3.4 was failing to build iconv.

The problem

This is odd, as some temporary files created during the build are clearly 32-bit

drkirkby@hawk:~/sage-4.4.2/spkg/build$ find . -exec file {} \; | grep 32-bit
./sage-4.4.2/c_lib/src/convert.pic.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable 80386 Version 1

However, parts of it are compiling 64-bit, as can be seen by the -m64 flag below:

compiling C sources
C compiler: gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -m64 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC

creating build/temp.solaris-2.11-i86pc-2.6/build/src.solaris-2.11-i86pc-2.6/scipy/lib/lapack
compile options: '-DNO_ATLAS_INFO=2 -I/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.4.2/local/include -Ibuild/src.solaris-2.11-i86pc-2.6 -I/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.4.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.4.2/local/include/python2.6 -c'
gcc: build/src.solaris-2.11-i86pc-2.6/scipy/lib/lapack/calc_lworkmodule.c

Fortran f90 compiler: sage_fortran -Wall -fno-second-underscore -fPIC -O3 -funroll-loops

So I'm amazed this builds at all, but it does:

creating /export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.4.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/weave/doc
copying scipy/weave/doc/tutorial.txt -> /export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.4.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/weave/doc/

So I'm somewhat puzzled by this!

Outdated, should be closed

[Michael Orlitzky]

The goal of these tickets is laudable, but:

• We need at least one user who is able to test.
• The package/OS information on this ticket is outdated beyond usefulness.
• Upstream is a better place to report portability issues these days.

[Frédéric Chapoton]

Closing very old sun/solaris tickets. Any tentative for this OS should start afresh.
