Re: [Dotgnu-libjit] Building x86_64 libjit on OS X 10.6

[Maarten Hoeben]

I sincerely apologize for my comment regarding LLVM. I wasn't aware this was a sensitive issue, but I fully understand your position on this. It won't happen again.

To make up for my mistake, I want you to know that the reason I choose libjit in the first place was exactly because of the facts you state in your reply. Moreover, libjit's interface has a more elegant API, is much more light weight and its feature set was a better fit than the other product's. I got my project running just fine with libjit, however, the missing OSX platform support was an oversight when I evaluated libjit.

I agree that the key benefit of an open project is that people contribute their changes. However, in my case I just found a patch in an earlier posting, which I applied. After reading some more on OSX support I found that getting my project to work on the level I needed it, it would require more time than I had available, so I never got around writing any changes. Consequently there is little to contribute, apart from the patches in earlier postings.

Regards,

Maarten

I'm trying to build libjit as an x86_64 shared library on OS X 10.6.

I initially experienced several errors like

"/var/folders/Xv/Xvlv+HaaEx8DvcH2RrHzXk+++TI/-Tmp-//ccQp2TYt.s:1189:junk

address@hidden' after _expression_"

I got these errors to stop appearing by specifying gcc/g++ version 4.0

rather than 4.2 before running ./configure.

Next challenge: I need to build an x86_64 build.  Even with

./configure BUILD=x86_64 HOST=x86_64,  the .dylib created by make is

i386.  What flags should I be setting to generate an x86_64 binary?

I hope this isn't a ridiculously naive question (I'm relatively new to

scratch compiling -- trying to get hornetseye for Ruby working on my

mac).
