MacOS X: old DWARF debug info

andrewkononov — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 22:00:05 GMT

Hello, I'm trying to build application with debug options using Fortran Complier under Mac OS X.

When I'm compiling with "-debug" option and trying to link object, ld linker throws this an error:

ld: in constants.o, in section __DATA,__debug_frame reloc 0: length < 3 and X86_64_RELOC_UNSIGNED not supporte

constants.f90 is my module file

After removing this file I'm still getting anoter message:

ld: in test.o, object file contains old DWARF debug info - rebuild with newer compiler

My computer configuration:

MacBook 2.2 GHz

2 GB RAM

Mac OS X 10.5.5

Intel Fortan Compiler version 11.0.056

Please let me know if I need to set up some options for compiler and linker.

Thank you.

My files:

Makefile:

FF = ifort
CFLAG = -c -O0 -debug
LFLAG =

all: test Makefile

test: objs Makefile
$(FF) $(LFLAG) -o test *.o $(LIBS)

objs: *.f90 Makefile
$(FF) $(CFLAG) *.f90

.PHONY: clean
clean:
rm -f *.o
rm -f *.mod

constants.f90:

module constants
implicit none
integer TEST
parameter (TEST = 160)
end module constants

test.f90:

program test
!use constants
write (*,*) "Hello World",SOME_CONSTANT
end program

Andrew,

This is interesting. I have a MacBook Pro, Core 2 Duo, 10.5.5, ifort 11.0.054. I copied your files and makefiles. I am able to build and link in both 32 and 64 bit modes.

Is your MacBook using a Core Duo or Core Solo processor? that is, do you have a 32bit only system? (Apple menu, 'About this Mac'). The symbol error seems to indicate that the 64bit symbols are not found on your system.

Finally, what version of Xcode do you have installed? I'm at Xcode 3.1.1

What happens if you add -m32 to your CFLAG var options?

thanks

ron

Hi, Ron.

Answers to your questions:

Is your MacBook using a Core Duo or Core Solo processor?

My MacBook is using Core 2 Duo

Finally, what version of Xcode do you have installed? I'm at Xcode 3.1.1

I use Xcode 3.1.2 Thanks for advice, I tried to make my app via Xcode, and this worked fine (All time I was trying to make it via /usr/make). Looks like Xcode make utility uses binaries and libs from /Developer/usr, but /usr/make uses the same stuff from /usr and /bin

Also I when I'm tring to make via command line, linker still throws errors described in the topic.

What happens if you add -m32 to your CFLAG var options?

Linker throws (when I'm making via console):

'Undefined symbols: "_MAIN__", referenced from: _main in for_main.o'

With Xcode my app builds fine.

So, my question:Is it possible to build app with debugging flags via command line utility (/usr/make)?

Also I have gcc40 and gcc42 (installed via macports), gcc43(installed via fink). Is it possible, that they conflict with ifort?

Thanks

Andrew

Hmm, Xcode 3.1.2 - interesting. Yes, I see it was released Nov 24th. I'll go get that and see what happens.

Xcode includes the linker, ld, and header files. Maybe something broke with 3.1.2.

I'll check to see if anyone else is seeing issues.

As for the gccs via Fink - possible problem, but I'm more suspicious of the ld version in xcode 3.1.2. We only test against official Apple Xcode tools - released versions of Xcode that is. If you start loading up non-Apple supported gccs, we have no way to validate against that.

Let's see what happens when I update to 3.1.2. I should have an answer this afternoon.

Actually I tried to make may app with Xcode 3.1.1 too

Methods:

Via /usr/bin/make
Via Xcode make like this

There is the table of my results:

method	xcode 3.1.1	xcode 3.1.2
1	fail	fail
2	success	success

Also there was a similar issue with icc.

Making with Xcode is okay, but it is a little bit inconvenient. Also I don't want use Xcode because it's gdb has poor fortran dynmaic arrays support.

Ooops... I think I solved the problem: I've recently installed gdb 6.8.5 from cvs, after gdb uninstalling ifrort works fine.

Thanks

Andrew, that's great. I installed Xcode 3.1.2 this morning and could build w/o problems. I was worried that the new Xcode brought in a new lib or ld that might be the cause. Glad to hear it was just gdb and not Xcode 3.1.2.

Hi Ron and Andrew,

I was reading this thread and I am facing similar problem as mentioned in this thread. When I try to run a source using dlsode on a macbook pro using intel fortran on terminal, i get following error. I am a novice and dont know how to build project on xcode. The files run with no problem on a pc with compaq visual fortran. I changed the syntax for ifort but i get this error.

Undefined symbols:
"_MAIN__", referenced from:
_main in for_main.o
ld: symbol(s) not found

Could please suggest possible solutions.

thanks,
al

Al,

I will need the following:

your code

your command line for both compile and link: ifort

Your Xcode version

Your Xcode installation directory (default is /Developer )

And did you install the compiler AFTER installing this version of Xcode.

thanks

ron

Hey Ron,

Thanks for your reply. I apologize for not replying for all this time. I will post all the required info tonite. I did install the compiler AFTER installing Xcode (which was the one that came with the laptop I think, I will check the version and let you know).

thanks,
al

hey Ron,
I could run this with ifort on terminal..i was not linking the files properly..thanks..
