[erlang-bugs] OTP-18.0 --enable-native-libs build failed on Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM) and Amazon Linux AMI 2015.03 (HVM)

[Bruno Matos Tavares]

Hi Kostis,

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I bumped into https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/erlang-programming/enable-native-libs/erlang-programming/qFJmWtUQHuA/EBHC750-4UYJ. 

So, I did try:

CFLAGS=‘-O2 -m64' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--disable-debug \
--enable-silent-rules \
--enable-threads \
--enable-smp-support \
--enable-kernel-poll \
--enable-hipe \
--enable-native-libs \
--with-ssl=/usr/bin \
--without-docs \
--without-wx \
--without-javac \
--without-odbc

make clean
./otp_build autoconf

CFLAGS=‘-O2 -m64' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--disable-debug \
--enable-silent-rules \
--enable-threads \
--enable-smp-support \
--enable-kernel-poll \
--enable-hipe \
--enable-native-libs \
--with-ssl=/usr/bin \
--without-docs \
--without-wx \
--without-javac \
--without-odbc

make


The error is different:

Thank you,

After discussing the issue on erlang-questions (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/erlang-programming/OnMkdZpml8E) --enable-native-libs seems not to be working at all on Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM) and Amazon Linux AMI 2015.03 (HVM) (the ones I was able to test) but with a workaround only the HiPE applications gets the native libs treatment.
