OK, so mathplotlib needs to be built before cvxopt.

I use os x 10.7 currently with xcode 4.2.   How can I build this sage version so i can sctually use it?  I tried 5.0.beta9, but it crashes on a lot of doctests (though it builds).

Use the tar ball posted at #12369.

On OS X 10.7, I get one doctest failure:

sage -t  --long -force_lib devel/sage/sage/matrix/matrix_double_dense.pyx

Tried this on Mac OS X, 10.7.1 (Core i7). The build (-j7) failed on the MPIR build. The immediate cause is

checking compiler gcc -march=native -g -O3 ... no, double -> ulong conversion
configure: error: could not find a working compiler, see config.log for details
Error configuring MPIR. (See above for the options passed to it.)

FWIW, 23 other spkg's built; this one went boom and the whole build collapsed.

The full log for MPIR is at

I should mention that I used the full b10-gcc tarball attached to #12369; not the gcc .spkg. I'm trying "-j1" now.

Presumably more, or at least also interesting would be the config.log
from the (temporary) build dir --
$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/build/mpir-2.1.3.p9/src/config.log -- since 'configure'
failed.

Ask, and it shall be answered. Let me know if you need more details.

:-)

So your assembler doesn't understand the instructions GCC (4.6.3)
generates (with '-march=native'). You can try specifying some other CPU
type (with '-march=...', e.g. 'core2') in CFLAGS, or try using
'-mno-avx', both a bit odd.

Unfortunately there's currently no other way to disable '-march=native'
if your /compiler/ supports it, other than specifying another CPU for
tuning and/or code generation, or by setting SAGE_FAT_BINARY=yes.

Note that this is not an upstream problem, but rather related to how we
configure MPIR in the spkg. (I'm working on newer ones, so can probably
add a better solution to that.)

(MPIR uses a different assembler for its assembly files, so there
shouldn't be a problem when MPIR chooses code optimized for your
specific CPU your native assembler doesn't understand. Only GCC doesn't
use that assembler, so must not generate instructions the latter doesn't
support.)


FWIW, Simon King has just created a binutils-2.22 spkg btw. (which
includes the GNU assembler); no idea whether that would work on MacOS X...

P.S.:

Justin case you want to hack the spkg, the "offending" part of MPIR
2.1.3.p9's spkg-install is:

native_build_cflags_if_supported() # Give option for a native build if
supported.
{
# Some GCC 4.0.x versions don't support '-march=native', and it's
currently
# not supported on all platforms supported by Sage.
# (Compilers other than 'gcc' might support it as well, in which
case the
# following also works. Other flavours could be added, too.)
if touch foo.c && $CC -march=native -c foo.c &>/dev/null; then
echo "-march=native"
fi
rm -f foo.* >/dev/null
}

You could replace this by / temporarily change it to e.g.

native_build_cflags_if_supported()
{
echo "" # not really necessary, but easier to understand
return # so you don't have to delete code below... :-)

Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS x86_64 (with a 2.6.38 kernel; AMD Fusion E-450):

I've replaced the following packages due to (partially known) issues
with them, i.e., not respecting CC or CXX (and I use e.g. CC=gcc-4.6.3),
being prepared with too old autotools to support LTO (GLPK only), or
causing trouble with multiple words in LDFLAGS (Maxima):

* GAP (see #7041 [1])
* GLPK (see #12703 [3])
* Maxima (haven't yet created a ticket for that)
* zn_poly (see #12433 [2])


GCC 4.6.3 with LTO (and Graphite loop optimization) enabled*:

* Singular fails to build. This is a GCC (lto1) bug which pops up
during linking (when link-time optimization actually happens).
See #12738 [4]; Simon King already reported this for a modified
version of the new GCC (4.6.3) spkg along with some additional
prerequisite spkgs he created.

* After working around that issue (by disabling actual LTO), ptestlong
passes all test.


GCC 4.7.0 with LTO (and Graphite loop optimization) enabled*:

* ECL fails to build; assembler error during actual LTO of 'ecl_min'.
(Likely to be a GCC bug; haven't yet opened a ticket for that, nor
examined that further.)

* After "successfully" building ECL without actual LTO (by removing
'-flto' from LDFLAGS), the Maxima build (i.e., 'ecl') hangs.
Using my Maxima spkg that (conditionally) unsets LDFLAGS (and uses
'ecl -norc ...') the Maxima build completes without errors.
Don't know yet whether the former (or the latter ;-) ) is reproducible.

* Singular build has passed the point where it failed with GCC 4.6.3
(and LTO taking place).

* Build hasn't yet finished (but so far 58 spkgs have been built
without errors); more to come...


(Both builds performed with binutils 2.22; GCCs built with GMP 5.0.4,
MPFR 3.1.0-p6, MPC 0.9, PPL 0.12, CLooG-PPL 0.15.11, libelf 0.8.13; FWIW.)


-leif

__________
* CFLAGS et al.: -march=native -flto -floop-interchange
-floop-strip-mine -floop-block -fgraphite-identity -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing
LDFLAGS: -flto -fuse-linker-plugin (the latter only necessary if GCC
had been built in presence of a linker that doesn't support plugins,
like GNU ld versions < 2.21)

See also #12703 for some (off-ticket-topic) comments on GCC, LTO etc.

This release has not propagated to the mirrors, it seems. See http://www.sagemath.org/download-latest.html . Perhaps the logic is misled into thinking 10 < 9 because "10" < "9" in a lexicographic ordering?

The Singular build completed successfully.

> errors); more to come...

Now at 95 packages... ;-)

* gfan fails to build due to a trivial C++ programming error.
I've made a gfan-0.4plus.p2 package fixing this and also cleaning
up 'spkg-install', but haven't yet opened a ticket for that. [The spkg
should presumably get updated anyway, but someone else should do that on
another ticket.]

* PolyBoRi fails to build due to stricter (C++11) scoping / name
look-up rules.
Unfortunately PolyBoRi doesn't honor CXXFLAGS, so I had to use
CXX="g++-4.7.0 -fpermissive" to make the spkg build.

* LinBox fails to build for the same reason, but does respect
CXXFLAGS, so builds with '-fpermissive' in them.

* The Sage library fails to build for the same reason, but this is
really a mess, as it not only ignores CXXFLAGS, but also uses CC (i.e.,
'gcc-4.7.0') to compile some C++ sources (as well as C sources of
course), and '-fpermissive' is not a valid command-line option to 'gcc'.
Furthermore, with './sage -b', after the build of one module has
failed, the script exits and leaves a couple of (busy) orphans, still
compiling some modules, to no avail btw., as the number of modules to
build doesn't decrease further.
When using 'make', the build hangs, with a Python process waiting
for its children, who in turn wait for something forever.


Obviously, I couldn't run Sage's test suite yet.

I could provide a patch for the PolyBoRi 0.8.x packages, that the
configuration reads the flagsfrom the environment.

Nice, thanks.

Could you provide a PolyBoRi 0.8.0.p2 spkg including both? :P

(Don't know whether there are already tickets upgrading to some later
0.8.x version.)

There an updated spkg here: http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/dreyer/spkg/polybori-0.8.0.p2.spkg
See also: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12750

There an spkg for PolyBoRi 0.8.1. I'll merge that later, if
polybori-0.8.0.p2.spkg is fine.

Regards,
Alexander

See #12750 [5]. Alexander has already made a PolyBoRi 0.8.0.p2 spkg
fixing this.

Anyway, /someone/(tm) should fix the spkg.

Fixed. Turned out that all non-conforming code originated from C++
headers installed by spkgs, namely Givaro and PolyBoRi.

Since Alexander has already fixed PolyBoRi's (see above), I'll then just
make a new Givaro 3.2.13.rc1.p4 spkg with my fixed headers. [Btw.,
despite that the Givaro spkg has been touched a couple of times, it has
last been upgraded in 2008 -- to a release candidate. But I'm not going
to upgrade it either, at least not at the moment.]

"All tests passed!" ('make ptestlong')

This time I agree with the exclamation mark.

tl;dr: GCC 4.7.0 (with LTO and Graphite loop optimization enabled),
Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS x86_64

I just tried installing the gap_packages spkg (sage -i gap_packages)
on beta 10, on boxen, and it failed. The log is at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/lmfdbweb/sage-5.0.beta10-boxen-x86_64-Linux/spkg/logs/gap_packages.log

This works on beta8.

(Maybe I should send this to sage-devel instead of sage-release to get
someone's attention?)

Ubuntu 12.04 beta x86_64 (with latest updates; 2nd gen. Core i5):

Ubuntu's GCC (4.6.3-1ubuntu3) crashes on MPFR (cc1) and Singular
(cc1plus) when building with "-O3". "-O2" in contrast works; also MPFR
passes its test suite with that. (Further flags: "-march=native -g").

Already reported upstream (Ubuntu Launchpad); Dan Drake couldn't
reproduce these errors, although in a /32-bit/ VM I think.

ptestlong passed without errors.

Yes, I have a 32-bit VM of Ubuntu 12.04 beta. I built beta11 with

env CFLAGS="-O3" make

and mpfr built fine. So did Singular (which Leif said might have
problems), although looking in the logs, I saw things like "gcc -O3 -O2
...." so perhaps it wasn't really using O3.

I don't know if the build finished properly (it's on my work computer,
and I'm at home). I'll test it as soon as I can.

I think some parts of Singular are forced to be built with "-O2".

But since g++ / cc1plus crashed for me (on Singular), you'd (also) have to

export CXXFLAGS="-O3"

and probably also

export CPPFLAGS="-O3"

to eventually reproduce that.

(The latter are flags for the C preprocessor and should get used as
well; sometimes they're passed /after/ $CFLAGS/$CXXFLAGS and some
developer-chosen ones, such that one can override the latter by putting
e.g. "-O3" into these.)

You could retry building Singular with

$ env CXXFLAGS="-O3" CPPFLAGS="-O3" ./sage -f spkg/standard/singular-*.spkg

Exactly that is the case for Singular; '-O3' in CXXFLAGS gets
overridden, while '-O3' in CPPFLAGS doesn't.

So it's (necessary and) sufficient to try

$ env CPPFLAGS="-O3" ./sage -f spkg/standard/singular-3-1-3-3.p6.spkg

(perhaps with in addition "-march=native", but I don't think that makes
any difference w.r.t. the crash here).

I used both of those variables (even though you figured out that only
one is necessary) and CFLAGS=-O3, and sure enough, I get an internal
compiler error:

g++ -O3 -O2 -g -fPIC -pipe -fno-implicit-templates -I. -I.. -I/home/foo/sage-5.0.beta11/local -I/home/foo/sage-5.0.beta11/local/include -I/home/foo/sage-5.0.beta11/local/include -I/home/foo/sage-5.0.beta11/local/include -O3 -DNDEBUG -DOM_NDEBUG -Dix86_Linux -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c sparsmat.cc
sparsmat.cc: In function ‘BOOLEAN _ZL11smIsNegQuotP8spolyrecS0_S0_.part.12(poly, poly, poly)’:
sparsmat.cc:1948:16: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault

This on a 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 VM with all updates. gcc is

gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu3).

I'll try mpfr and see what happens there. With only CFLAGS set to O3,
everything built and tests passed.
