Looks like this is still not fixed. Any idea how to get matplotlib compiled on Solaris 10 x86?

Any new idea?
Borut

[mdboom]

The second is due to:

    const unsigned long _M, _A, _C;

which is common enough of a construction that any compiler should handle it, but you could try:

    const unsigned long _M;
    const unsigned long _A;
    const unsigned long _C;

instead.

Then I'm at a loss, unfortunately.

[WeatherGod]

At this point, I would go with my personal rule of "work from the top" when
dealing with compiler issues. The very first warning (of significance) is:
"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/ndarraytypes.h",
line 209: Warning: Identifier expected instead of "}".

Which indicates to me a possible issue with something in numpy. Now, in my
version of numpy that I have on-hand, that line refers to one of the enums,
but there is nothing special that I can see about it. It would be helpful
to know which version of numpy it is including so we can see exactly what
it is warning about.

[podlipnik]

BUILDING MATPLOTLIB
matplotlib: yes [1.3.0]
python: yes [2.6.4 (r264:75706, Jun 26 2012, 21:27:36) [C]]
platform: yes [sunos5]

REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES AND EXTENSIONS
numpy: yes [version 1.7.1]

[WeatherGod]

So, the line in question refers to this enum definition:

typedef enum {
        /* Only allow identical types */
        NPY_NO_CASTING=0,
        /* Allow identical and byte swapped types */
        NPY_EQUIV_CASTING=1,
        /* Only allow safe casts */
        NPY_SAFE_CASTING=2,
        /* Allow safe casts or casts within the same kind */
        NPY_SAME_KIND_CASTING=3,
        /* Allow any casts */
        NPY_UNSAFE_CASTING=4,

        /*
         * Temporary internal definition only, will be removed in upcoming
         * release, see below
         * */
        NPY_INTERNAL_UNSAFE_CASTING_BUT_WARN_UNLESS_SAME_KIND = 100,
} NPY_CASTING;

This is completely a shot in the dark, but perhaps that incredibly long enum identifier might be tripping up the compiler?

[podlipnik]

After removing the last comma in typedef enum, warning disappear:

typedef enum {
....
NPY_INTERNAL_UNSAFE_CASTING_BUT_WARN_UNLESS_SAME_KIND = 100
} NPY_CASTING;

in file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/ndarraytypes.h

The first errors are coming from this part in lib/matplotlib/tri/_tri.h:
...
812: class RandomNumberGenerator
813: {
814: public:
815: RandomNumberGenerator(unsigned long seed);
816:
817: // Return random integer in the range 0 to max_value-1.
818: unsigned long operator()(unsigned long max_value);
819:
820: private:
821: const unsigned long _M;
822: const unsigned long _A;
823: const unsigned long _C;
824: unsigned long _seed;
825: }

"lib/matplotlib/tri/_tri.h", line 825: Error: A declaration was expected instead of "}".

Any idea?

[podlipnik]

Looks like one of the problems are _M, _A, _C in lib/matplotlib/tri/_tri.cpp:

RandomNumberGenerator::RandomNumberGenerator(unsigned long seed)
: _M(21870), _A(1291), _C(4621), _seed(seed % _M)
{}

unsigned long
RandomNumberGenerator::operator()(unsigned long max_value)
{
_seed = (_seed__A + _C) % _M;
return (_seed_max_value) / _M;
}

Is underscore a problem?

[WeatherGod]

Or, maybe specifically, "_C" is a problem, as in it might be treated as a
special identifier in the compiler (or, sometimes one might use _C to
indicate a class for templating). Again, another complete shot in the dark,
try changing the letter to be something else.

[podlipnik]

I just replaced "M","A","C" with "M","A","C" and this works! However, there are many warnings:

At this point, I am just not sure anymore. As a complete guess, I would
wonder if completely nuking the build and starting from fresh would help.

@mdboom, a coworker passed along a link that might be useful for us:

It isn't solaris 12, but who knows?

[podlipnik]

How do I control which libraries should be linked? I am compiling with Solaris Studio and not with g++! As we can see "-lstdc++" from /usr/local/lib/libstdc++* is used instead of /opt/sunstudio12.1/lib/libCstd.so

I tried to compile matplotlib on Solaris 11 where I have only Solaris Studio installed. This failed because libstdc++ is not installed! Removing "-lstdc++" lead to successful build. Looks like "-lstdc++" is hard coded library to use.

How do I tell build process to use Solaris Studio and their libraries?

[mdboom]

I don't think we have any developers on Solaris, and I wouldn't stick my neck out to say it's officially supported. However, we do use Python distutils as our build system, so anything that applies to that would also apply here. You may want to look through the distutils documentation for ways that the compiler can be forced or for Solaris Studio-specific information.
