Unhappy Alien Bob’s gcc5.SlackBuild won’t create Java compiler and supporting files.


I’m trying to build GCC 5 from Alien Bob’s gcc5 package (yes, I know—there’s a pre-built package available, but I’m running Slackware64-current, for which only a multilib package is available, while my system is pure 64-bit; plus, out of curiosity, I wanted to attempt the build myself anyway).

When I start the build, it informs me that it will create compilers for C, C++ and Java.

However, when the build finishes, the Java part is missing. Also, if I list the contents of the resulting package, then only 1398 lines of output are produced:
Code:
$ tar -tvJf gcc5-5.5.0-x86_64-1alien.txz | wc --lines
1398
When I do the same on the pre-built 32-bit (“i586”) package, on the other hand, I get 5553 lines, while the 64-bit multilib (“multilib-x86_64”) package will produce 5662 lines.
In addition, for the package that I built, none of the paths have “jvm” anywhere in their names, while the 32-bit and 64-bit pre-built packages have 21 and 23 entries, respectively, with “jvm” somewhere in the path.

The “gcc.build.log” does indicate that the SlackBuild appears to understand that the Java support files should be built, as it includes, e.g., the following lines:
Code:
  53666 JVM root installation directory: /usr/lib64/jvm
  53667 JAR root installation directory: /usr/lib64/jvm/jvm-exports
  53668 Java version: 1.5.0
  53669 JVM ROOT directory: /usr/lib64/jvm
  53670 JVM JAR ROOT directory: /usr/lib64/jvm/jvm-exports
  53671 JVM JAR directory: /usr/lib64/jvm/jvm-exports
  53672 SDK tools directory: /usr/lib64/jvm/bin
  53673 SDK jar directory: /usr/lib64/jvm/lib
  53674 SDK include directory: /usr/lib64/jvm/include
  53675 JRE tools directory: /usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin
  53676 JRE lib directory: /usr/lib64/jvm/jre/lib
By the way, the build log also includes four lines that report a strange “command not found” problem:
Code:
  53946 ../../../../gcc-5.5.0/libjava/classpath/configure: line 18201: libdir: command not found
  53947 ../../../../gcc-5.5.0/libjava/classpath/configure: line 18201: target_noncanonical: command not found
  53948 ../../../../gcc-5.5.0/libjava/classpath/configure: line 18201: gcc_version: command not found
  55658 ./gcc5.SlackBuild: line 462: only: command not found
That last one I can understand, because it looks like there’s a hash-sign (see the “#” below) missing on what should be a comment line in the “gcc5.SlackBuild” script:
Code:
    460 if [ ${MULTILIB} = "NO" ]; then
    461   # Make our 64bit gcc look for 32bit gcc binaries in ./32 subdirectory:
    462   # (only needed if gcc was compiled with disable-multilib)
    463   if [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
    464     sed -i 's#;.\(:../lib !m64 m32;\)$#;32\1#' \
    465       $PKG/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/gcc/${TARGET}/${VERSION}/specs
    466   fi
    467 fi
Other than this little detail, I have no idea whatsoever what is going on and going wrong with this SlackBuild.

Maybe it'd be worth looking at the output generated by the SlackBuild. That could indicate why the java portions weren't created. You could try and post that output on pastebin and link to it here so others can possibly look through it and maybe find the culprit.

I seem to remember there's some comment in the changelogs as to why Java is no longer included in GCC.

hi luvr,

I'm not sure of what's happening there, but I've installed gcc5 (kindly contributed by Alien Bob) from this repository (should be very similar to the one you tested) and I have the java compiler and tools available after building, if I source the appropriate profile.d file, like explained in the README: I just tested using it by building successfully pdftk, that needs gcjh.

also I have a bunch of links in /usr/lib64/jvm/ here
Code:
# ls -laR /usr/lib64/jvm/*

note that this is not to be considered as a substitute of a proper java virtual machine, you may still need jdk/openjdk to run java binaries succesfully.

I have just tried your SlackBuild, but I still don’t get the Java stuff.
The ‘gcc5-5.5.0-x86_64-1SBo.tgz’ package has the same number of files as the one I built from the “alien” SlackBuild:
Code:
$ tar -tvzf gcc5-5.5.0-x86_64-1SBo.tgz | wc --lines
1398
After I install the package, the ‘/usr/lib64/jvm/’ directory doesn’t even exist. (The package doesn’t include anything that has ‘jvm’ in its name either.)

I uploaded the gcc5 build log to my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rE...ZbaOQMGwCmWc5h, but I have no idea where to begin to look for the problem in such a huge log. In fact, I don’t even have any idea what to look for in the first place.
NOTE:
I updated the link to build log, after I retried the build as suggested by orbea in a later post.
END NOTE
The gcc5 SlackBuild doesn’t happen to have any prerequisites that I might be missing, by any chance?
Just for the record, I’m running Slackware64-current, upgraded from a full Slackware 14.2 install.

this is easy to check: what happens if you do a
Code:
slackpkg update
slackpkg install slackware64
does slackpkg proposes you to install other packages besides the kdei-l10n-* and calligra-l10n-* ones?

this doesn't seem to be the full log, as the first thing that gets built here is fastjar.

The gcc5 sources/SlackBuild in 14.2's patches/source/gcc directory will build gcc-java, but it is considered dead, obsolete, and removed upstream as of gcc7. I have no idea if the compiler in -current is able to build gcc5 (and gcc5's gcc-java), but it wouldn't surprise me if that's not possible without some code changes.

In any case, I don't know what your purpose is for building gcc-java for gcc5, but I suspect it's a dead end that will get you nowhere.

No, it doesn’t (actually, my full Slackware 14.2 install was a really full install, in that it included even the KDEI packages):
Code:
# slackpkg update

Updating the package lists...
	Downloading...
			Linking //opt/downloads/slackware/slackware64-current/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc...

		No changes in ChangeLog.txt between your last update and now.
		Do you really want to download all other files (y/N)? N

# slackpkg install slackware64

Looking for slackware64 in package list. Please wait... DONE

No packages match the pattern for install. Try:

	/usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade

(I'm quoting @ponce but this is really directed for the OP.)

The "write once, run anywhere" bit doesn't include "at any time, present and future" after all. (I've been developing software in Java for the past 18 years. [JFC, where does the time go?] The odds of finding 1.5 compliant code to compile now is close to nil, unless you are attempting to resurrect some ancient software.) You might even have to find a Java 1.5 runtime jar as well, due to deprecations.

If the ‘fastjar’ build is missing, then I guess it simply wasn’t done. In any case, the build log must be incomplete, since, obviously, not everything is getting built.

Well the story went something like this: first, I installed Slackware 14.2. Next, I installed a second copy of Slackware 14.2, which I upgraded to Slackware-current.

Then, I installed quite a few SlackBuilds on my 14.2 system. Among them, openjdk8. To build openjdk8, I first had to build and install openjdk (i.e., the “7” generation). Then, to build openjdk, I first had to install jdk (the Oracle one). So, in the end, I created the jdk package, installed it, built openjdk, removed jdk, installed openjdk, built openjdk8, removed openjdk, and installed openjdk8.

I am now trying to repeat the installation of these SlackBuilds on my Slackware-current system. So, I created the jdk package (which, in the meantime, got a new revision from Oracle) and installed it. Next, I attempted to build openjdk (gen. “7”), but that requires not only the Oracle JDK, but also GCC Java support—the latter of which is no longer available in GCC 8 (as used on Slackware-current).

I first considered skipping openjdk8, and attempting to install one of the JDK 11 versions that I find on SlackBuild—but then, I discovered the GCC 5 SlackBuild by alienbob (Eric). Since that is supposed to build C, C++ and Java support, I decided to try that first. In fact, when I start the gcc5.SlackBuild, its first on-screen output line tells me:
Code:
Building these compilers: c,c++,java
So, in my infinite wisdom, I considered that a good sign…

… and that is where I am now.

Possibly, but I thought I’d ask here first.

Given, however, that both alienbob and ponce appear to have successfully built GCC 5, including the Java support, I wonder if, perhaps, the GCC 5 build used to be fine with an earlier GCC and/or autotools version?
Perhaps GCC 8 or the newer autotools can no longer handle it?

Hmm… The build log reports a number of make errors:
Code:
$ grep ' Error ' gcc.build.log 
make[4]: *** [Makefile:449: sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.lo] Error 1
make[3]: *** [Makefile:437: all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [Makefile:307: all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:13534: all-target-libsanitizer] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:21415: bootstrap] Error 2
make[3]: *** [Makefile:449: sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.lo] Error 1
make[2]: *** [Makefile:437: install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:13602: install-target-libsanitizer] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:2304: install] Error 2
I’d be surprised if that’s what it is supposed to do…

Those error lines are not helpful without the related lines printed somewhere above them, can you share the full build log?

I'm also curious what the goal is?

if you build it like this
Code:
./gcc5.SlackBuild > /tmp/build-gcc5.log 2>&1
then all of the output will go to that file: you can also eventually "tail -f /tmp/build-gcc5.log" if you want to follow the progress (you can stop the tail command via "ctrl-c")

regarding what you are trying to do, in a similar way like you a trying to start with a jdk binary I think that you could also start directly using a prebuilt openjdk for current: Alien Bob already provides one

http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/peo...pkg64/current/

then, with this installed, build yourself another one from source

http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/peo...openjdk/build/

FYI I've just tried this, it works and you don't need gcc5 installed in your system at all.

I'm sure you know this, but its possible to also follow the output directly with tee.

Code:
./gcc5.SlackBuild 2>&1 | tee /tmp/build-gcc5.log
This way the output prints to the terminal and is saved in the log file without the need for tail, its also useful when using programs like gdb.

I uploaded to log build log to my Google Drive— see my earlier post.

I described what I was trying to do, also in an earlier post.
