AIX-problem: the main module won't link statically

AIX-problem: the main module won't link statically

[Timo Aaltonen]

	Hi!

  I tried to compile zsh-4.0.1 w. AIX-4.3 (cc version 5), but the main
library (/module?) libzsh-4.0.1.so doesn't get in the binary, and when I
try to run it:

Could not load program ./zsh:
        Dependent module libzsh-4.0.1.so could not be loaded.
Could not load module libzsh-4.0.1.so.
Error was: No such file or directory

..and the binary size is only ~1,5kb (and the library is in ~/lib/zsh,
size ~690kb)

It seems that the linker doesn't function properly:

ld  -s -G -bexpall -lc -o libzsh-4.0.1.so  `cat stamp-modobjs` -ldl -lcurses -lm  -lc
ld: 0711-327 WARNING: Entry point not found: __start
ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .getproc
ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .glob
ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: glob
ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: getproc
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.


I also tried using gcc-2.8.1, but it failed miserably...

Have you installed it? Or, better, have you installed it in the same
location as specified when configuring ($prefix/lib/zsh)?

That's correct. Have you configured it with ``configure --prefix=$HOME'' ?
If you just run configure without any arguments zsh expects library in
/usr/local/lib/zsh.

I do not know AIX to decide if these warnings are harmful/harmless.

I've tried it both installed, and just by running "make check"..

Well, I compiled it for linux and Tru64-UNIX (I used the same
config.modules for all architectures), and they didn't produce that
library (it was linked statically, as configured..).

And yes, I did run configure with the prefix-stuff.

Me neither.. maybe I should poke the guy here who does =)

make check does not work in this case, known problem in 4.0.1. Should be
fixed in 4.0.2. "installed" you mean "make install"?

It depends on the system. Some systems need extra library some not. Try
'configure --disable-dynamic' to turn dynamic loading off.

Yes. AFAIK currently none of zsh developers works on AIX. Oliver, could you
comment on this?

Yes, installed as specified in prefix..

It works statically (test nr C02 failed though).. but it is weird, if
dynamic loading would work, that it couldn't link that library (libzsh..)
in the binary as configured...

I heard that it could be possible to use gnu-linker instead of AIX-one...
