Build failure of SVN8415 on Solaris 10 SPARC

Community matplotlib-users

The latest stable (0.99.3) matplotlib builds ok on Solaris 10 03/05 on SPARC.

However, your latest trunc release has some useful fixes, so it was downloaded by a fellow Sage devloper. However, when I try to build this version on a Sun Blade 1000 running Solaris 10 03/05, it presents a problem:

/usr/include/stdlib.h:144: error: declaration of C function 'void swab(const char*, char*, ssize_t)' conflicts with
/usr/include/unistd.h:480: error: previous declaration 'void swab(const void*, void*, ssize_t)' here
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
Error building matplotlib package.

There are two declarations of 'swab' in the Solaris header files, and what one you get depends on the compilation mode. The reasons are explained in the Solaris header files.

The issue is traced at

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9202

where you will see the full error message and attachments of the header files.

For this, gcc 4.4.4 was used.

Can you get it to work by adding "-D_XOPEN_SOURCE" to your CFLAGS environment variable?

I did reply, but I think off-list by mistake. So I'll reply to the list.

I think this actually causes the build to break earlier.

Do you have access to Sun SPARC hardware? If not, I can almost certainly arrange access to a Sun T5240 (16 core) at the University of Washington for a serious matplotlib developer.

The latest stable (0.99.3) matplotlib builds ok on Solaris 10 03/05 on SPARC.

However, your latest trunc release has some useful fixes, so it was downloaded
by a fellow Sage devloper. However, when I try to build this version on a Sun
Blade 1000 running Solaris 10 03/05, it presents a problem:

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
Error building matplotlib package.

There are two declarations of 'swab' in the Solaris header files, and what one
you get depends on the compilation mode. The reasons are explained in the
Solaris header files.

The issue is traced at

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9202

where you will see the full error message and attachments of the header files.

For this, gcc 4.4.4 was used.

Can you get it to work by adding "-D_XOPEN_SOURCE" to your CFLAGS
environment variable?

Eric

I did reply, but I think off-list by mistake. So I'll reply to the list.

I think this actually causes the build to break earlier.

Do you have access to Sun SPARC hardware? If not, I can almost certainly arrange
access to a Sun T5240 (16 core) at the University of Washington for a serious
matplotlib developer.

Dave,

Thanks, but much as I would like to see this problem solved, I don't really want to get sucked into it. I haven't messed with Suns for many years, and I am not eager to resume.

Did you compile the previous version of matplotlib that you used on your machine, or did someone else there do it?

Have you looked at the Cookbook entry?

This issue is new and not related to the issue on the cookbook, I'm
pretty sure. I have the same problem on my box at work, and it was
introduced when I upgraded to CXX6. I have spent some time on it but
haven't found the fix yet. I guess it's my bug :frowning:

I've added it to the tracker:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3022815&group_id=80706&atid=560720

Dave,

Thanks, but much as I would like to see this problem solved, I don't
really want to get sucked into it. I haven't messed with Suns for many
years, and I am not eager to resume.

Did you compile the previous version of matplotlib that you used on your
machine, or did someone else there do it?

Have you looked at the Cookbook entry?

I have a fix in that appears to work. Comments from the tracker
below. If anyone sees a problem with my fix, let me know::

The CXX/WrapPython.h header has the following code to deal with the swab
issue

// Prevent multiple conflicting definitions of swab from stdlib.h and
unistd.h
#if defined(__sun) || defined(sun)
#if defined(_XPG4)
#undef _XPG4
#endif
#endif

See

The header of stdlib.h on the sage tracker and on my solaris system say
this:

/*
* swab() has historically been in <stdlib.h> as delivered from AT&T
* and continues to be visible in the default compilation environment.
* As of Issue 4 of the X/Open Portability Guides, swab() was declared
* in <unistd.h>. As a result, with respect to X/Open namespace the
* swab() declaration in this header is only visible for the XPG3
* environment.
*/

Ie, the swab declaration is visible for the XPG3 environment but
WrapperPython.h is only unsetting XPG$. The proposed fix is to also unset
XPG3 in this environment. I don't pfully understand all these macros, but
this seems consistent with the comments in stdlib and with what WrapPython
is trying to do, and it works (mpl compiles and passes tests).

So I am committing the following change to mpl's CXX (this should also be
pushed upstream into CXX where we might get better feedback on whether this
change is indeed correct).

// Prevent multiple conflicting definitions of swab from stdlib.h and
unistd.h
#if defined(__sun) || defined(sun)
#if defined(_XPG4)
#undef _XPG4
#endif
#if defined(_XPG3)
#undef _XPG3
#endif
#endif
