Sage 64 bit OSX 10.5 build notes for Sage 3.2.3

Notes

The notebook doesn't work unless ctypes are manually build. This is a bug in Python 2.5.2. Need to check Python 2.5.4 and 2.6.1 as well as 3.0 for workarounds.

fortran.spkg

Use OSX-gfortran.spkg (coming soon) which is a repackaged Gfortran 4.2.3 by the R people. It is quad universal.

Make local/bin/sage_fortran like

gfortran -m64 "$@"

Make sure to chmod 755 and extend DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the Fortran runtime - maybe in toolchain?

gmp

use eMPIRe

Python

ctypes broken, use the old workaround, but also look at 2.5.4 and 2.6.1 for potential solutions

atlas

The following error pops up, but it is harmless:

/bin/sh: /Users/michaelabshoff/Desktop/sage-3.2.3-64bit/local/bin/which_fortran: No such file or directory

It should still be fixed.

pynac

No OSX64 bit support yet - an unclean version that builds would be:

r

libpng trouble since the build with a dynamic libpng was fixed recently:

Error in dyn.load(file, ...) :

The fix here is to analog to 32 bits to disable aqua support for now.

sagelib

sage -b: devel/sage/c_lib/SConstruct

## We want the debug and optimization flags, since debug symbols are so useful, etc.
env.Append( CFLAGS="-O2 -g -m64" )
env.Append( CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g -m64" )

The above fix needs to be dependent on SAGE64 being set. CXXFLAGS should have -g added, too.

Another problem is that the Sage's libsage.dylib is linked without -m64 - setting LDFLAGS in SConstruct does not fix the problem:

libcsage.dylib:                 Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

Building manually works around the problem for now.

Another problem is that the memory.pyx extension needs to be linked against libcsage:

Similar linker fixes are needed for Cygwin

ghmm

ghmm is build 32 bits only

libghmm.1.0.0.dylib:            Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
libghmm.1.dylib:                Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
libghmm.dylib:                  Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

Quick and ugly hack, needs SAGE64 specific cleanup:

boehmgc

Also is build as 32 bit lib at the moment. Should be trivial to fix via something along the lines of

+export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -m64"
+export LDFLAGS="-m64"

in spkg-install.

singular

We need to enable system malloc for MacIntel since it is only chosen pre default for MacPPC. The ugly hack below needs to be cleaned up:

But at exit we are having problems with double frees:

Sprocketer:sage-3.2.3-64bit michaelabshoff$ ./sage

These also happen on Cygwin, so this needs to be investigated and fixed.

The problem might be realted to Givaro and/or Givaro and Singular somehow getting in each other's way: Setting a breakpoint as recommended above leads to Singular's Rational deconstructor. Note that Givaro also has its own Rational type.

Note that both Singular as well as Givaro have a class called Rational in the *global* namespace. Sigh. But in Givaro the destructor is commented out for some reason:

class Rational {

public :
<SNIP>
    Rational(const Rational&) ;
        //~Rational();

Might this be the trouble?

cvxopt

Linker trouble - no clue why yet.

ld: library not found for -lgfortran
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The build issue goes away when installing gfortran directly into $SAGE_LOCAL, but it might also be a failure due to missing gfortran due to env issues. This needs to be verified.

scipy

Import issue with d1mach: Note that d1mach.o manages to be 32 bits:

Sprocketer:scipy-20071020-0.6.p4 michaelabshoff$ file ./src/build/temp.macosx-10.3-i386-2.5/scipy/integrate/mach/d1mach.o
./src/build/temp.macosx-10.3-i386-2.5/scipy/integrate/mach/d1mach.o: Mach-O object i386

This causes import failures all over the place as Scipy's special functions module does fail to import. This seems to be due to scipy using gfortran in some cases when it finds it instead of sage_fortran:

One workaround is to use a dummy gfortran wrapper.

sympow

For now sympow is build in 32 bit mode, but it works:

Sprocketer:sage-3.2.3-64bit michaelabshoff$ file local/lib/sympow/sympow 
local/lib/sympow/sympow: Mach-O executable i386

Since OSX will always have a 32 bit runtime this is something we should be able to live with.

A lot of the above are segaults caused by the tentative Singular vs. Givaro collision.

Reasons for failures:

• different gmp, i.e. eMPIRe, accounts for 10 failures
• the missing compoenents also cause failures
• Singular does double frees at exit on occasion due to the use of system malloc, a patch to work around those has been done
