Description Björn Persson 2009-06-21 23:49:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
When Gnatmake encounters a Library_Name attribute in a project file it says "warning: libraries are not supported on this platform", and I can't get it to generate or link to any shared libraries. I think the same message also appears in other cases that have to do with libraries.

Ludovic Brenta, maintainer of Gnat in Debian, explains: "This indicates that GCC was compiled with the wrong version of mlib-tgt.adb.  In GCC 4.4, the proper version was renamed from mlib-tgt-linux.adb to mlib-tgt-specific-linux.adb.   I know because I had to fix this problem for the Debian package, which is now in the NEW queue awaiting inspection by an FTP master."

I looked at the mlib-tgt* files and it looks like "cp mlib-tgt-specific-linux.adb mlib-tgt-specific.adb" should be done at some point in the build process.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-gnat-4.4.0-4

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to compile some Ada project, for example one of the GTKada examples:
1. yum install gcc-gnat GtkAda-doc
2. cp -a /usr/share/doc/GtkAda-doc-2.10.2/examples/base_widget/ .
3. cd base_widget/
4. make
  
Actual results (Fedora 11, i586):
gnatmake -Pdefault
gtkada.gpr:13:31: warning: libraries are not supported on this platform
gcc -c -I- -gnatA /home/beorn/base_widget/main.adb
gcc -c -I- -gnatA /home/beorn/base_widget/my_widget.adb
gnatbind -I- -x /home/beorn/base_widget/main.ali
error: "gtk.ali" not found, "gtk.ads" must be compiled
gnatmake: *** bind failed.
make: *** [all] Error 4

Expected results (Fedora 9, x86_64):
gnatmake -Pdefault
gcc -c -I- -gnatA /home/beorn/base_widget/main.adb
gcc -c -I- -gnatA /home/beorn/base_widget/my_widget.adb
gnatbind -shared -I- -x /home/beorn/base_widget/main.ali
gnatlink /home/beorn/base_widget/main.ali -shared-libgcc -L/usr/lib64/gtkada/relocatable -lgtkada -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib64/gtkada/relocatable:/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.3.0/adalib/ /usr/lib64/gtkada/static/libgtkada.a -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -o /home/beorn/base_widget/main

Additional info:
I have Fedora 11 only on a Pentium III test machine so far. I don't know whether the problem occurs on other platforms. I have no reason to think it's architecture-specific.
Comment 1 Björn Persson 2009-06-25 22:00:52 UTC 
It happens on x86_64 too.

spec hack to enable libraries

This is probably not the way it's meant to be done but this patch gets GNAT working again.

fix to the library support

I've finally found the error. This is the real fix.

The bug is already fixed in GCC 4.4.1 but 4.4.0 needs this patch.
Comment 4 Michal Nowak 2009-08-14 13:00:11 UTC 
Björn: F-11 features gcc-4.4.1-2.fc11.x86_64, where is it fixed right? So, only F-10, which features 4.3.2, is affected? Flipping version "10".
Comment 5 Björn Persson 2009-08-15 00:27:48 UTC 
This bug is new in GCC 4.4.0. Fedora 10 is not affected. At least it wasn't when I went to Fedora 11.

The current version in Fedora 11 is still gcc-4.4.0-4. After some confusion I found gcc-4.4.1-2.fc11 in updates-testing, and tried it. It works. This bug can be closed when that gets released to the updates repository.
Comment 6 Michal Nowak 2009-08-17 07:46:12 UTC 
OK. In F-10 there's GCC 4.3.2 and not gonna be updated to 4.4.X. Since 4.4.1 is in updates-testing flipping to ON_QA.
Comment 7 Björn Persson 2009-08-21 09:03:35 UTC 
I see the update to gcc-4.4.1-2.fc11 is released now.
