Hello, [This mail did not appear on the list. Second attempt.]
I'm not able to build gzip-1.4 on my i686 machine: cp ./match.c _match.S gcc -std=gnu99 -E -DNO_UNDERLINE _match.S > _match.i sed '/^ * < _match.i > match_.s /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file make[3]: *** [match.o] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gzip-1.4/lib' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gzip-1.4/lib' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gzip-1.4/lib' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 This is caused by shell (bash-4.0_p35) or make (make-3.81) that truncates sed script after hash sign: $ grep ASCPPPOST lib/Makefile ASCPPPOST = sed '/^ *#/d; s,//.*,,; s/% /%/g; s/\. /./g' $(ASCPPPOST) < _match.i > match_.s Simple backslash-escaping could help. I found other problem during investigating why compilation works on other i586 machine. The difference is the i686 is recognised by configure as ASMV: configure:22627: checking for an assembler syntax supported by this package configure:22657: result: yes, with -Wa,--noexecstack $ grep ASMV lib/config.h #define ASMV /**/ And the second problem is my i686 machine has its own /usr/include/config.h that is included from lib/match.S instead of ./lib/config.h: gcc -std=gnu99 -E -DNO_UNDERLINE _match.S > _match.i [...] [pid 25009] open("_match.S", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY) = 3 [pid 25009] open("/usr/local/include/config.h", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 25009] open("/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/include/config.h", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 25009] open("/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/include-fixed/config.h", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 25009] open("/usr/include/config.h", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY) = 3 AM_CPPFLAGS in lib/Makfile is not populated apparently: $ grep CPPFLAGS lib/Makefile COMPILE = $(CC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) \ $(CPPFLAGS) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) ASCPPFLAGS = -DNO_UNDERLINE CPPFLAGS = AM_CPPFLAGS = # approach of adding -DLIBDIR=\"$(libdir)\" etc. to AM_CPPFLAGS, $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $(ASCPPFLAGS) _match.S > _match.i $(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(ASFLAGS_config) -c match_.s Maybe the second bug confuses configure to guess match.S should be compiled in. -- Petr
