Description Mieszko Ślusarczyk 2008-09-14 12:53:20 UTC
When I try to compile ocaml using distcc on x86 32bit machine it fails.
The second machine is x86_64.

gcc -c -I../byterun -DCAML_NAME_SPACE -DNATIVE_CODE -DTARGET_i386 -DSYS_linux_elf  -pg -O -DPROFILING -march=pentium2 -O2 -pipe -Wall -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT gc_ctrl.c

Please post your `emerge --info' too and inspect your /usr/lib/distcc/bin for the obvious problems with issuing a bare `gcc' where a arch-vendor-kernel-libc-gcc should have been used. After that, we can probably work out a way to make dev-lang/ocaml ebuilds respect CHOST better.
Comment 2 Mieszko Ślusarczyk 2008-09-14 21:18:37 UTC
I've set my distcc host using this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_AMD64-x86-distcc#Setup_.28with_crossdev.29 (usng crossdev)

This is my emerge --info:

Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-15 14:16:48 UTC
It seems like even with myconf="--host ${CHOST}", the ocaml build system ignores CHOST. :) I can't readily confirm this, but I do see that on a HPPA system, it doesn't call hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc, but simply gcc.
Comment 4 Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2008-09-15 14:24:48 UTC
well, first of all, to avoid future problems due to poor build systems like this one you'll need to setup the symlinks hacks as explained on  http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cross-compiling-distcc.xml

then yes, ocaml calls gcc directly; i am not sure how to fix this, as there are two things to keep in mind:
- you may want to cross compile it and have ocamlopt produce code for you native arch
- you may want ocamlopt to produce code for a different arch
- ocamlopt also calls gcc itself to link the binaries


ocaml itself is a compiler, so things aren't that easy as forcing it to call $CHOST-gcc; and of course patches are welcome

there already exists a croscompile patch

ocaml-3.12.1.ebuild-multilib.patch

this patch makes it possible to compile it with multilib portage

-	RAW_LDFLAGS="$(raw-ldflags)" ./configure -prefix /usr \
+	RAW_LDFLAGS="${STD_LDFLAGS/-m32/${EMUL_LDFLAGS}}" ./configure -prefix /usr \

as already said, multilib portage people should make raw-ldflags work well and translate -m32 to -m elf_i386 based on CHOST instead of adding hacks to ebuilds; this should also make the first hunk of your patch not needed.

-		-cc "$(tc-getCC)" \
-		-as "$(tc-getAS)" \
-		-aspp "$(tc-getCC) -c" \
+		-cc "$(tc-getCC) ${CFLAGS}" \
+		-as "$(tc-getAS) ${ASFLAGS}" \
+		-aspp "$(tc-getCC) ${CFLAGS} -c" \

ocaml should respect cflags without this, could you please point me where they are ignored ?
Comment 10 Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2014-12-01 16:37:02 UTC
ocaml ebuild now should properly pass CBUILD/CHOST but upstream use tryrun constructs that make this not sufficient; closing as upstream
