Make an optional, self contained gcc 4.3.4 spkg

[sagetrac-mabshoff]

This spkg requires a working Sage to build and is Linux only for now.

See #12369 instead.

The spkg at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.1.2/alpha0/gcc-4.3.1.spkg

builds find on x86-64 Linux with recent enough glibcs. It should also work on x86 and Itanium.

Cheers,

I have an updated spkg at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/gcc-4.3.1.p0.spkg

that is about half the size. It now installs into $SAGE_LOCAL/toolchain and needs a matching patch to set $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly to work properly.

Cheers,

Michael

The above spkg will fail in case the Sage build directory is on another mount than the tmp dir since the symbolic link across mounts will fail. That is the reason that it failed on SkyNet with the same error across the board.

I am working on gcc-4.3.1.p1.spkg.

The spkg at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/gcc-4.3.1.p0.spkg

now builds on various Skynet machines. I still need to add some magic to make the toolchain automatically integrated into sage-env.

Cheers,

The spkg is obviously

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/gcc-4.3.1.p1.spkg

Sorry :)

And now there is

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/gcc-4.3.1.p2.spkg

I still need to provide an update with the toolchain env being copied into the right place to make this work automatically.

23:32 < wstein-682> there's no gcc-4.3.2 spkg, so why did you write "neeeds review"?
23:32 < wstein-682> can I change 3898 to "needs work"?
23:32 < mabshoff> It need to update.
23:32 < mabshoff> Yes
23:32 < wstein-682> since it's not done as stated inthe summary?
23:33 < mabshoff> I need to do two things:
23:33 < mabshoff> (a) update to gcc 4.3.2 (quick)
23:33 < mabshoff> (b) create custom toolchain.sh scripts for x86, x86-64 and Itanium.
23:33 < mabshoff> Next time I build on SkyNet I will do so.
23:34 < mabshoff> And definitely before SD 12 due to obvious reasons :)

gcc 4.3.3 is out, so this needs to be fixed anyway.

Cheers,

Michael

Despite not being the latest release, 4.3.4 is arguably the most stable release to date.

Hi David, are you thinking of making an spkg? I think it would be well worth making one. I've changed the title to 4.3.4.

This is really old and we are now adding a new gcc spkg, so this ticket should be closed.

I agree: this should be closed.
