Libgcrypt is a package which has some assembly code routines. An option to the configure script
--disable-asm will disable the use of assembly code. This is known to be necessary on OS X. I've also found it is essential on Solaris SPARC in 64-bit mode. I've now found it is sometimes necessary on Solaris x86. I've created an updated package http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-fixes/libgcrypt-1.4.4.p1/ which addresses all the issues I know of. Assembler code is disabled on: * OS X (both 32 and 64-bit) * Solaris x86 (both 32 and 64-bit) * Solaris SPARC (32-bit only) * IRIX (as a precaution, as untested) * AIX (as a precaution, as untested) * Tru64 (as a precaution, as untested) Assembly code is enabled on: * Linux * Solaris SPARC (32-bit only) * HP-UX * Anything else, not mentioned above. This would include Cygwin. The updated package has been tested on * sage.math * bsd.math * Sun Ultra 27, Intel Xeon processor, running OpenSolaris (x86) * Sun Blade 2000, SPARC processor in 32-bit mode. * Sun Blade 2000, SPARC processor in 64-bit mode. The code does not build fully on 64-bit SPARC, as there is a mix of 32 and 64-bit object files generated. That is an issue to be resolved at a later date. * HP C3600 running HP-UX 11.11. The libgcrypt code builds fully on HP-UX. Unfortunately, the spkg-install is a bit complex, as it has tests for numerous operating systems, 32 and 64-bit modes, SPARC and x86 on Solaris ...etc. Any takers to review? http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7373 Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
