[LLVMdev] darwin dragon-egg build issues

[Duncan Sands]

Hi Jack,

>     Is anyone building dragon-egg on darwin?

Anton built it once.  There were some problems with dynamic libraries: gcc's
plugin support requires the use of dynamic libraries, and the configure logic
it uses thinks that darwin does not support dynamic libraries!  So it is
possible that plugin support was automatically disabled because of this.  Try
configuring with --enable-plugin

That's correct.  There is no need to build dragonegg with gcc-4.5; gcc-4.5 is
the target of the plugin, which is different.  You inform the makefile that the
plugin is for gcc-4.5 using "GCC=...", and as usual you say what compiler to use
to build dragonegg using CC/CXX.

This is a gcc-4.5 "plugin header file".  You can ask gcc where to find these by
doing:

   /sw/bin/gcc-4 -print-file-name=plugin

On my machine this returns

   /usr/local/gnat-fsf/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.0/plugin

I suspect that your gcc-4.5 was built without plugin support, and that
because of this you aren't getting a path here.

These aren't llvm headers, so llvm-config is not relevant here.

Ciao,
