gcc13 installation does not install static libstdc++.a

[nbriggs]

While the gcc13 build produces both

prototype/sparc/usr/gcc/13/lib/sparcv9/libstdc++.a
prototype/sparc/usr/gcc/13/lib/libstdc++.a

the manifest does not install these files.

When attempting to build rust this missing library results in an “Empty search path given via '-L’” error.

This looks like some older problem. You might need to look at rust-lang/rust#97260.

Generally we don't ship static libraries.

Do you know that we bundle Rust with Solaris?

Thanks - I had missed one of the places where it depended on the static library, so I had fixed it by installing the static library from the gcc13 build. I've fixed it properly now in rust 1.62.0.

I have been using a personal/non-commercial Solaris 11.4 system, but as far as I'm aware there hasn't been a Solaris 11.4 CBE release since the original one announced March 2, 2022, so for building open source packages that depend on more modern releases of things like Rust the only option seems to be building from the userland git repository.

It would be a great help if the solaris-userland git repository contained the intermediate versions of Rust, since it appears that you can never move more than one minor version ahead at at time (1.70.0 is definitely not compilable with 1.61.0 which was the previous checked in version).

I do some Rust interim version builds in my personal repo here: https://github.com/psumbera/solaris-userland/commits/master/

[nbriggs]

Thanks for that. I'm sure it will be helpful.

My understanding is that I can close the issue now. Thank you all.
