PACKAGE NAME
------------
neko_libarchive


DESCRIPTION
-----------
A multi-format archive and compression library


SOURCE/VERSION
--------------
libarchive-3.3.3 / 1


IRIX/MIPSPRO VERSION
--------------------
6.5.22 / 7.4.4m


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
---------------------
setenv CC c99
setenv MAKE /usr/nekoware/bin/gmake
setenv PERL /usr/nekoware/bin/perl
setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -mips4 -n32 -diag_error 1035 -woff 3970'
setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/nekoware/lib'
setenv CPPFLAGS '-I/usr/nekoware/include'
setenv LIBS -lpthread
setenv PATH /usr/nekoware/bin:/usr/nekoware/sbin:$PATH

for building on mips3 systems, use:

setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -mips3 -n32 -diag_error 1035 -woff 3970'


CONFIGURE
---------
patch -p0 < libarchive-3.3.3_irix.patch
./configure --prefix=/usr/nekoware --disable-rpath


BUILD
-----
gmake
gmake check

- The 'gmake check' fails on overloading the objects buffer in the linker when building libarchive-test. Redo this step with the objectlist you get from 'gmake check V=1' in a separate file and issue:

c99  -O2 -mips3 -n32 -diag_error 1035 -woff 3970 -Wall  -L/usr/nekoware/lib -o libarchive_test -objectlist libarchive-objectlist -L/usr/nekoware/lib -liconv -lcrypto -lcrypto -llzma -lbz2 -lexpat -lz -lpthread

gmake check
gmake install

ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS
--------------------
The 'gmake check' will fail on several tests with libarchive, most notably with iso9660 data formats and derivatives.

FAIL: libarchive_test
PASS: bsdtar_test
PASS: bsdcpio_test
PASS: bsdcat_test

Currently there are 12 failed tests:
Failing tests:

  452: test_write_format_iso9660_filename (13104 failures)
  453: test_write_format_iso9660_zisofs (34 failures)

The test_write_disk_perms when run as root passes, so that leaves 11 failed tests.

This package has dual support for both mips3 and mips4 architecture, controlled by the mach(CPUARCH=R4000) switch for libraries and executables.
