Bug #1914: ruby-1.9.1-p243 failed to build from source on aix 5.3 with  
gcc 4.2.0  
[http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1914](http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1914)

Hello all,

I very fall in love of ruby programming language when I discover it  
some years ago (iirc it was release 1.6) and when in a few days, even  
thought I am not a programmer, I was able to rewrite in ruby a ksh  
script of mine about 10 time faster ;\<)

Today I would like to use it on the platform Aix which I am now in  
charge to manage as system engineer.

I reach to compile release 1.8.7-p160 and later but without kernel  
pthread support, also would I like to test 1.9 if it better support  
those native pthread.

Unfortunately, it failed to build with this first issue:

With Google I read this thread:

well the patch aix.diff it contains and apply:

Well I also read this thread related also related to 1.9 but with xlC  
compiler:  
[http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/180444](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/180444)

but as I am not a programmer, I am not familiar with any gdb or dbx  
and I doesn’t understand how Graham reach to compile ruby1.9.

That said, I noticed another error in the make step:  
/opt/freeware/bin/gcc -shared -Wl,-G -Wl,-bnoentry -Wl,-bE:ruby.imp

I was worry why ‘w’ was used here and see that it comes from Makefile:  
Makefile  
$(LIBRUBY\_SO):  
@-$(PRE\_LIBRUBY\_UPDATE)  
$(LDSHARED) $(DLDFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(DLDOBJS) $(SOLIBS)  
$(OUTFLAG)$@  
-$(OBJCOPY) -w -L ‘Init\_\*’ $@  
@-$(MINIRUBY) -e ‘ARGV.each{|link| File.delete link if  
File.exist? link;   
File.symlink  
“$(LIBRUBY\_SO)”, link}’   
$(LIBRUBY\_ALIASES) || true

but I didn’t install binutils (I read somewhere it wasn’t recommended)  
so:

SET\_LC\_MESSAGES = env LC\_MESSAGES=C  
OBJDUMP =  
OBJCOPY =  
VCS = echo cannot  
VCSUP = $(VCS)

But this error is ‘ignored’ so may be not related to the previous  
“[BUG] Segmentation fault” above, though?

That said, all comments, advise will be welcome.

Thanks in advance,  
J.

AIXでruby 1.9 を使う時の話がいくつかあがっているのですが、  
ã¨ã‚Šã‚ãˆãšæœ€åˆã«è¦‹ã¤ã‘ãŸã“ã‚Œã«èª¿ã¹ãŸã“ã¨ã‚’å ±å‘Šã•ã›ã¦ã„ãŸã ãã¾ã™ã€‚

rubyのコードの中で、dln.cにAIX固有のコードがあります。  
おそらくですが、昔のAIXでdlopenがうまく動かなかったか、なかったときのものと思います。  
1.9では#1914,#2063,#2064ã®ã‚ˆã†ãªã“ã¨ãŒãŠãã‚‹ä¸€å› ã«ãªã£ã¦ã„ã¾ã™ã€‚

というところで提案なのですが、このAIX固有のコードではなく、ほかのPlatformのように  
dlopenを使うように変更するというのはいかがでしょうか？？  
最近のAIX（とりあえず5.2と5.3）では添付のパッチでmake testはパスしました。

ほかにも課題はたくさんあるのですが、このパッチで上述の三つの問題は、  
とりあえず手元では解決します。

nmでエクスポートする関数を列挙したファイルをつくってリンク時に使用することを止めて、  
-bexpallというオプションを代わりに利用したりしてあります。#1914や#2064に対応できます。  
ほかのPlatformへの影響はないように気をつけたつもりです。  
1.9.1p243とtrunkへのパッチです。

ただ、要するに昔のAIX用のコードがなくなることがどう古いAIXに影響するか  
わかりません。コードを生かせるようにしようと思ったのですが、  
å¤ã„æƒ…å ±ãŒæ‰‹ã«å…¥ã‚‰ãªã‹ã£ãŸã®ã¨ã€æ‰‹ã«å…¥ã£ã¦ã‚‚è©¦ã™ç’°å¢ƒãŒãªã„ã®ã§ã€  
あきらめてしまいました。

いかがでしょうか？

1.9.1p243は単にコンパイルしても  
make: Circular .rbconfig.time ← miniruby dependency dropped.  
make: ./miniruby: Command not found  
make: \*\*\* [.rbconfig.time] Error 127  
がでてしまって#2064のところまでいかないので、何かいじったあとの  
現象のようです。  
このあと別便（多少大きいので私信で）でnmの出力を参考のために送らせていただきます。  
あたまに.がついたものを抜かないとワーニングがでまくってしまいます。  
いただいたパッチを少し変更してとりあえずコンパイルが終了したものを送ります。  
シンボルのタイプはここに列挙されてあります。

e$B%A%1%C%He(B #1914 e$B$,99?7$5$l$^$7$?!#e(B (by Joel S.)

Hello all,

Sorry but I couldn’t test all stuff published on this forum  
[http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/193040#841466](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/193040#841466) just because am I out of  
office for some holiday ;\<)

That said, I couldn’t read comments because my FireFox just shows me  
garbage (I do have missed some language support, though) even though I  
don’t read Japanese at all (very sorry).

Any way, I guess to have understand that making some ‘.exp’ file is  
requested even thought I reach to build ruby without this file?

If I well understand this topic, I read this interesting thread imho:  
[http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2003-07/msg00082.html](http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2003-07/msg00082.html)  
where the mentioned script:  
nm -BCpg \*.o | awk ‘{ if ((($2 == “T”) || ($2 == “D”) || ($2 == “B”)) &&  
(substr($3,1,1) != “.”)) { print $3 } }’ | sort -u \> icu.exp

seems to do the same job as the ‘CreateExportList’ of xlc (the native  
AIX C compiler).

Otoh as much as I can read there are a lot of different way to create  
this ‘.exp’ file and python project have this “Modules/makexp\_aix”  
script in its src tree for this purpose.

Thanks a lot, I will try to comeback asap with test of different  
suggested patches.

## J.

Some issues reported here is fixed by r24482 and r25124.  
At least, building ruby(trunk) is finished successfully in my env(AIX  
5.3).

By the way, for this ‘w’ problem:

> ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com:/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/coreutils  
> AIX’s install command does not have -d option, and that caused this

If crash issue still persists, please reopen this ticket with:

1. configure options
2. gcc version
3. oslevel -s

Thanks and best regards,  
Yutaka K.
