GIGO right - computers, given the same input should
produce the same output
every time. If it's garbage in it's garbage out.
The build of sip4-tqt seems to violate that adage.
When attempt to build
sip4-tqt (the first time/randomly), I get a failure:
gcc -c -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe
-fstack-protector
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-I/usr/include/tqt
-I/opt/trinity/include -I/opt/tqt3/include -O2 -w -DNDEBUG
-I. -o parser.o parser.c
lex -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu
-t lexer.l > lexer.c
/usr/bin/flex: Unrecognized option `W'
Try `flex --help' for more information.
make[1]: *** [lexer.c] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/src/sipPy3/sipgen'
make: *** [all] Error 2
The only 'W' that could be causing the error is the
LDFLAGS string
'-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu',
but that hasn't
caused a problem before so I just issue the build command
again - and it builds
without issue - WTF?
Looking at the lex command above I see:
lex -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu
-t lexer.l > lexer.c
That doesn't seem right. I don't know lex from fred,
passing 'lex ${LDFLAGS}
-t lexer.l > lexer.c' doesn't seem right because there is
no '-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu'
c syntax that I
know of :)
Has anyone else seen this spurious behavior? I kills
rebuilds when it causes
sip build failures
I haven't changed a thing, and I get different
results.
The build is simple:
<snip>
cd ${srcdir}
## copy source for Python build
cp -r ${pkgbase#*-} sipPy3
## Python version
msg "Running python configure.py (python3 based sip)...."
cd ${srcdir}/sipPy3
python configure.py CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" LFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}"
msg "Building - tde-sip (python3 based sip)..."
make
## Python2 version
msg "Running python2 configure.py (sip4-tqt)...."
cd ${srcdir}/${pkgbase#*-}
python2 configure.py CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" LFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}"
msg "Building - ${pkgbase}..."
make
}
Any thoughts?
First thought is something is indeed changing. We just can't recognize what. Not yet.
Second thought is I have seen this before --- several weeks ago with tdenetwork. For some
reason I could not build tdenetwork during my first pass when I built all of my packages
in one run with my master build script. The build always failed. Yet after the master
build run completed, I could build tdenetwork without failure. Eventually I decided there
was some weird relationship with tdeadmin, which I always had built just after tdenetwork.
I reversed the order so that tdeadmin built before tdenetwork and I have not had a problem
since.
I have not tried to revert to the older order to test whether the problem remains.
Possibly the problem is now gone, who knows.
I notice you now are building two packages, one for python 2 and one for python 3. I
suspect somewhere in that transition you'll find what you changed to cause the latest
hair pulling. :)
