[csw-users] GCC errors when installing ruby gems

[Chris May]

Hi all,

On previous systems I've never had problems installing and compiling
ruby gems using the opencsw packages, but I have a new system which is
exhibiting some strange failures.

I'm using the unstable repo, on Solaris 10 5/09 (u7). I have

gcc4core            4.3.3,REV=2009.05.07
ruby        1.8.7,REV=2009.04.06_p72
rubydev        1.8.7,REV=2009.04.06_p72
rubygems            1.3.1,REV=2009.02.16


If I try and do "gem install mongrel", I get this

make
/opt/csw/gcc4/bin/gcc -I. -I/opt/csw/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-solaris2.8
-I/opt/csw/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-solaris2.8 -I. -I/opt/csw/include

To my untrained eye, this looks like I've got something fairly
fundamentally wrong - wrong version of the c compiler, wrong
libraries, or something like that.

If I try editing the makefile to use the Sun Studio C compiler, I can
get the gem to make, but with warnings:

bash-3.00# make

-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -fPIC -mtune=i686 -O2 -pipe -m32 -march=i386
-I/opt/csw/include  -fPIC   -c fastthread.c

-Wl,/opt/csw/lib -L/opt/csw/lib -lruby  -lrt -lpthread -ldl -lcrypt
-lm   -lc
cc: Warning: illegal option -march=i386

I suppose I could track down the source of the warnings (presumably
gcc options being passed to cc) and tweak the Makefile accordingly,
but it seems like it ought to be possible to get the compile to work
using just the opencsw gcc.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
