I am building Subversion 1.8.1 on Solaris 10 on AMD64, using the vendor compiler. All of the compile lines produce a warning from the compiler:
/bin/bash /tmp/subversion-build/libtool --tag=CC --silent --mode=compile cc -std=c90 -D__EXTENSIONS__ -D_REENTRANT -DSOLARIS2=10 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS [...] cc: Warning: illegal option -d=c90 The -std=c90 flag appears to be added by the SVN_CC_MODE_SETUP() macro in build/ac-macros/compiler.m4. This then uses SVN_CFLAGS_ADD_IFELSE(), which checks to see if the compiler accepts a specified flag. This macro assumes that the compiler will throw an error if it doesn't recognize a flag, which unfortunately does not hold true in the case of the Sun compiler and this -std= flag. According to "cc -flags", -s is "Strip symbol table from the executable file". The cc(1) man page states "cc recognizes -a, -e, -r, -t, -u, and -z and passes these options and their arguments to ld. cc also passes any unrecognized options to ld with a warning." Perhaps the macro should check the value of $GCC before testing this flag? --Daniel P.S.: Please Cc: any replies, as I am not subscribed to this list. -- Daniel Richard G. || sk...@iskunk.org My ASCII-art .sig got a bad case of Times New Roman.
