        Oh dear - something failed during the build - sorry !
  For more help with debugging build errors, please see the section in:
            http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development

 it seems that the error is inside 'sc', please re-run build
 inside this module to isolate the error and/or test your fix:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

/bin/bash
cd /build/buildd-libreoffice_3.3.0~rc1-1-alpha-BFqLZJ/libreoffice-3.3.0~rc1/libreoffice-build-3-3-0-1/build/libreoffice-3.3.0.1
source ./LinuxAlphaEnv.Set.sh
cd sc
build

when the problem is isolated and fixed exit and re-run 'make' from the top-level
sometimes (sadly) it is necessary to rm -Rf unxlngaxp.pro in a module.

Comment 1 Matt Turner 2011-01-04 19:10:07 UTC

I don't know a thing about Libre/OpenOffice and have never tried to use it on Alpha, but I can tell you that 'relocation truncated to fit: GPREL16 against symbol' is usually caused by using gcc's -msmall-data or -msmall-text flags, documented here [1].

-msmall-* isn't the default, so it must be enabled somehow on your compilation. The gcc doc says "When generating code for shared libraries, -fpic implies -msmall-data and -fPIC implies -mlarge-data." so perhaps you can replace the -fpic flag with -fPIC, that is if -fpic is being used?

[1] http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/DEC-Alpha-Options.html

Other information that may help:

What distribution are you using? What version of gcc? glibc? binutils? What JDK and version?

Comment 2 Matt Turner 2011-01-23 18:26:58 UTC

Just a fire-and-forget bug report? What gives?

Comment 3 Rene Engelhard 2011-01-23 19:19:48 UTC

nah, just no time to follow-up on this (especially as alpha isn't a release-critical arch anymore and thus failures on it are not critical anymore).

Will try later the week when I hopefully will have time to look.

So far:

> What distribution are you using?

Debian sid (+ libwpd/g/s from experimental)

> What version of gcc? glibc? binutils? What JDK and version?

See the buildlog :). From the attempted rc4 build:

... and it uses -fPIC

Maybe try adding --no-relax to LDFLAGS.

Cheers
Michael.

Yeah, that's it.  Apparently there is a bug in the code optimiser of the linker that only rears its ugly head on the vary rare occasion.  I am told that using --no-relax turns off the optimiser thus avoiding the possibility of the bug.

I have built libreoffice from Debian 3.3.0-2 sources on Alpha.  It bombed out twice while linking in package sc and once in package sw and all were fixed by manually running the link command with -Wl,--no-relax added, and then continuing the build.

I now have a working libreoffice on my Alpha running an up-to-date Debian sid.

Cheers
Michael.

eh, no, actually the patch is stupid (no bussiness adding it to CFLAGS). This is better:
