* What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Try to install phusion-passenger on sparc

* What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I've attached my build log. I think there is a problem to link with boost lib.

* What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using gentoo linux on a ultra-sparc. I've tried 2.0.3 and 2.0.6 (with gem system, gentoo packages and from source).

* Please provide any additional information below.

I don't know if these information will be usefull but there is a full description of my system

Which gcc version do you have?

I use gcc 4.1.2

I've finally found a solution on this page http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485434

I've modified the Rakefile

• THREADING_FLAGS = "-D_REENTRANT"
• THREADING_FLAGS = "-D_REENTRANT -DBOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS"

I will test this build in pre-production and i'll post result here.

Could you try the Phusion Passenger version from git master? I believe this has been fixed a few weeks ago.

I'm afraid that I have the same error with master version. I've also tried with gcc 4.3.2 with the same result. :-\

So defining BOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS works for you?

Do you know whether defining this macro on Solaris-Sparc might cause problems for other versions of Solaris?

I've just try to build the 2.1.2 version of passenger on my sparc and the problem is still present.

In ext/apache2:

g++ ApplicationPoolServerExecutable.cpp Utils.o Logging.o SystemTime.o CachedFileStat.o -o ApplicationPoolServerExecutable -I.. -Wall -g -DPASSENGER_DEBUG -DBOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS -D_REENTRANT -D_GLIBCPP__PTHREADS -I/usr/local/include ../libboost_oxt.a -lpthread /tmp/cc3AIVSD.o: In function boost::detail::atomic_decrement(int*)': /root/tmp/passenger-2.1.2/ext/apache2/../boost/detail/sp_counted_base_sync.hpp:44: undefined reference to__sync_fetch_and_add_4' /tmp/cc3AIVSD.o: In function boost::detail::atomic_increment(int*)': /root/tmp/passenger-2.1.2/ext/apache2/../boost/detail/sp_counted_base_sync.hpp:39: undefined reference to__sync_fetch_and_add_4' /tmp/cc3AIVSD.o: In function boost::detail::atomic_conditional_increment(int*)': /root/tmp/passenger-2.1.2/ext/apache2/../boost/detail/sp_counted_base_sync.hpp:62: undefined reference to__sync_val_compare_and_swap_4' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status rake aborted! Command failed with status (1): [g++ ApplicationPoolServerExecutable.cpp Ut...] /root/tmp/passenger-2.1.2/Rakefile:177

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

The THREADING_FLAGS var seems to have been removed from the Rakefile so i've modified the CXXFLAGS var

+CXXFLAGS = "-Wall #{OPTIMIZATION_FLAGS} -DBOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS"

And with this modification all works fine with and without optimization.

@honglila I'm sorry but I have never used Solaris so I can't tell you anything related with it.

Oops, I mistook the report to mean Solaris on Sparc. You're running Gentoo. :)

Can you post the output of the following command?

echo | cpp -dM

Of course ;-)

My version of cpp is "(Gentoo 4.3.2-r3 p1.6, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.2"

What happens if you modify ext/boost/detail/sp_counted_base.hpp and change

#elif defined(GNUC) && ( defined( __sparcv8 ) || defined( __sparcv9 ) )

to

#elif defined(GNUC) && ( defined( sparc ) || defined( __sparcv8 ) || defined( __sparcv9 ) )

I've remove my old modification and i've put your's.

The error is different :

OK so that doesn't work. I'll go with the other solution.

Could you post the output of:

ruby -e "puts RUBY_PLATFORM"

The output is sparc-linux

Could you check whether the latest git commit works?

I build passenger with the master branch and all works fine.

Thank you very much for your work. :-)

And in the future, if you have to test something on sparc I would be pleased to help you. (My username on github is titinux)
