Description taniguchi 2005-02-11 13:43:09 UTC 
This patch is for cws_srx645_mozooo.

It is necessary to pass "-shared" option instead of "-G" to GNU ld when we
build shared libraries on Solaris gcc platform.

This patch changes to use "-shared" when GNU ld is used.

There is a same thread in mozilla bugzilla at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35419
But the patch get checked in and then backed out. 
taniguchi: Do you finish mozilla build with this patch?
Comment 6 taniguchi 2005-02-22 16:38:09 UTC 
Yes, I do. I uploaded mozilla solaris gcc binaries to waooo site.
See, https://sourceforge.jp/projects/waooo/files/.

GCC can be built with ether Sun ld or GNU ld on Solaris environment, and
it is necessary to use GNU ld to build OOo because map file format is different
between GCC and Sun C.

I don't know which ld they use, but I failed to build mozilla with -G option
with GNU ld because unnecessary reference to main symbol was defined
in shared libraries like libxpcom.so, libnspr.so, and so on.

=============================================================
cd ./unxsogi.pro/misc/SOLARISGCCIruntime && strip *.so
cd ./unxsogi.pro/misc/SOLARISGCCIruntime/components && strip *.so
cd ./unxsogi.pro/misc/SOLARISGCCIruntime && ./regxpcom
Can not initialize XPCOM Glue
Can not aquire component registrar
dmake:  Error code 255, while making './unxsogi.pro/misc/build/so_moz_runtime_files'
================================================
$ nm libxpcom.so |grep main
[4780] | 0| 0|NOTY |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |main
==========================================

I changed to use -shared option when GNU ld is used and I succeeded to build it.

Thank you.

taniguchi, sorry for the delay. Is the latest attached patch still valid? In
this case we could pursue bringing it into the tree ...
Comment 9 stx123 2006-03-02 22:05:48 UTC 
taniguchi, could you update us on the status of the solaris gcc port?
Thanks, Stefan

No response for nearly a year. Closing.
Feel free to re-open if the patch is still valid, and action is required.
