Re: FW: Swarm2.1.1 source code compiling error (explow.c) on Linux Re d Hat 7.2

[Paul E Johnson]

You can build/install gcc and swarm in your own user account.  The key 
thing is that the gcc that RedHat ships has bad bugs, so you need either 
to step back to gcc-3.0.4 or to gcc-3.3 snapshot 2002-09-09.  If you 
patch gcc and build it to install in /home/your_name/gcc3 then when you 
build swarm you can change your environment so it knows to build your gcc.

When you build swarm with gcc-2002-09-09, please use the Swarm snapshot 
I've already built and tried:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH8.0/swarm-2.1.141.20021019.tar.gz

If you use a newer gcc snapshot, I know of one other fix you need to 
make, but lets worry on that later.


If you build gcc-3.0.4, the correct patch is:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Marcus_objc_gcc301.patch

If you build gcc-3.3 and want support for method functions in swarm, you 
should patch gcc-2002-09-09 with this:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Marcus_gcc301_MethodFunction.patch

before building.

When you build swarm, follow the usual procedure with making a build 
directory.  Something like this in the swarm dir: (i'm typing from 
memory now)

# mkdir build
# cd build
# CC=/home/your_name/gcc3/bin/gcc JAVAC=jikes ../configure --srcdir=../ 
--with-defaultdir=/usr --prefix=/home/your_name/swarm-2.1.141 
--enable-subdirs --with-jdkdir=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0
# PATH=/home/your_name/gcc3/bin make EXTRACPPFLAGS=-DMETHOD_FUNCTIONS 
EXTRALDFLAGS=-static-libgcc JAVAC=/usr/bin/jikes

good luck.
