llvm on ia64 ?

[Anton Shterenlikht]

llvm port fails to build on ia64 current:

Anything I can do to help debug this?

I wont comment the failure but llvm does NOT support generating IA64
code as the support for this was removed some 6 months or so ago....

what exactly do you want to use the llvm@ia64 for?

replacement for gcc..

gcc44 and 45 fail to build on ia64. From what I can gather (I'm a
user, not a developer) after following this for some months on gcc bugzilla,
gcc folks do not really have a solution, or might not even understand
the problem. Lots of ports of interest to me are dependent on gcc44,
e.g. gfortran, blas, lapack, calculix, code_aster, etc. So I'm looking
for a possible replacement for gcc44 on ia64

many thanks

Well, this is a pretty serious problem, then, because IIUC the llvm
back-end for ia64 was recently dropped because it had not been maintained
for 6 months and no longer worked at all, without any committer interest.
Perhaps someone more up-to-date with llvm will correct me.

llvm can be used within gcc's new plugin framework.
So, you would need both llvm and gcc to build on
IA64. Have you tried building gcc-4.3.5 on IA64?
gfortran in 4.3.5 is in fairly decent shape.

FWIW;

For most of the scientific/CAD stuff you need a Fortran
compiler and llvm doesn't provide it.

I think your best solution is to try gfortran42 or
gfortran43 if it's supported in your platform.

best regards,

Pedro.

It gives you a limited implementation of�gfortran42. Right now It's better and
simpler�to build gcc42 (or gcc43) with fortran support.

maybe the intel cc compiler?

no, gcc43 fails to build as well

Have you tried with a recent gcc45 port? It now depends on newer
binutils, which is required to build it with -march=native on amd64,
perhaps you're hitting the same base-binutils-is-too-freaking-old issue?

hth,
Uli

checked again now. gcc45 fails as before:
