zlib does not build universal / Tiger-ppc

Description

On Tiger ppc, zlib doesn't build i386 support for the dylib. Configure spits out:

--->  Configuring zlib for architecture i386
Checking for shared library support...
No shared library support; try without defining CC and CFLAGS
Building static library libz.a version 1.2.3 with /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -arch i386.
Checking for unistd.h... Yes.

Checking for vsnprintf() in stdio.h... Yes.
Checking for return value of vsnprintf()... Yes.
Checking for errno.h... Yes.
Checking for mmap support... Yes.

Putting some debugging into the configure script, it's failing due to:

The problem is with CC:

Or actually, it's probably because '-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk' is missing during linking...

Given that there wasn't a real reason to start using muniversal here, it should be reverted (unless the portgroup is going to be fixed VERY soon).

comment:3 Changed 15 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Well, wait, why is '-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk' missing diring linking? Could we add the right flags to configure.ldflags to fix this? My Power Mac is not on the network at the moment or I'd test this myself.

comment:5 Changed 15 years ago by MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)

I am not sure this problem has anything to do with the muniversal PortGroup.
In portconfigure.tcl, the function configure_get_universal_ldflags only adds the following:

    if {${os.arch} == "powerpc"} {
        set flags "-Wl,-syslibroot,${configure.universal_sysroot} ${flags}"
    }
    if {${os.major} == "9"} {
        set flags "${flags} -mmacosx-version-min=${configure.universal_target}"
    }
}

-isysroot only gets added in configure_get_universal_cflags and configure_get_universal_cppflags.
muniversal simply duplicates this behavior.

isysroot is not well documented, but I though it had to do with looking for include directories.
Why should it help with linking?

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

This should be fixed in r50198.
"-Wl,-syslibroot,${configure.universal_sysroot} ${flags}" will not be used when linking.
Hopefully, this will solve the problem.

This doesn't appear to have done it for me:

which all looks right, but:

$ file /opt/local/lib/libz.1.2.3.dylib 
/opt/local/lib/libz.1.2.3.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc

I'm not getting a universal lib. However the static lib is universal:

/opt/local/lib/libz.a (for architecture ppc):   current ar archive

The end result for me is that I can't build libtiff universal:

...

Replying to Chris.Barker@…:

$ file /opt/local/lib/libz.1.2.3.dylib 
/opt/local/lib/libz.1.2.3.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc

I'm not getting a universal lib. However the static lib is universal:

$ file /opt/local/lib/libz.a 
/opt/local/lib/libz.a: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/opt/local/lib/libz.a (for architecture ppc):   current ar archive
/opt/local/lib/libz.a (for architecture i386):  current ar archive random library

At least it is a new error.
My initial guess is that the configure script encounters an error when trying to cross-compile the shared library and therefore does not build it for i386.

Could you please attach the config.log for i386?
Perhaps that will offer some insight.

It doesn't appear to produce a config.log.

comment:12 Changed 15 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Right, zlib does not use an autoconf configure script. After configure, the file zconf.h is changed and the file Makefile is created from Makefile.in.

I was sure zlib used to build universal on Tiger PPC... :(

Try now (as of r52192)

Tested on PPC Tiger, confirmed that a universal .dylib is now built.
