Ubuntu ppc64le (Power8, little endian)
Description
When building in the source dir, cmake fails with this error:
-- Check if the system is big endian
|
-- Searching 16 bit integer
|
-- Check size of unsigned short
|
-- Check size of unsigned short - failed
|
-- Check size of unsigned int
|
-- Check size of unsigned int - failed
|
-- Check size of unsigned long
|
-- Check size of unsigned long - failed
|
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/TestBigEndian.cmake:44 (message):
|
no suitable type found
|
Call Stack (most recent call first):
|
configure.cmake:542 (TEST_BIG_ENDIAN)
|
CMakeLists.txt:346 (INCLUDE)
|
When building in a subdir of the source tree, cmake succeeds, but the make step fails for jemalloc-configure:
checking build system type... /home/skysql/mariadb-source/10.0-power/extra/jemalloc/config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2012-02-10, has failed to recognize
|
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
|
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from
|
|
|
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
|
and
|
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD
|
|
|
Following those instructions and updating config.guess and config.sub fixes this problem. Not sure how to fix cmake above.

Couldn't reproduce the first problem:
$ cd 10.0
|
$ cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="g++-4.8"
|
...

-- Check if the system is big endian

-- Using unsigned short

The second problem is fixed in upstream jemalloc: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/commit/d79d59b86649104e198e4b6a0892e673fcaada09
There are also many bug fixes since 3.3.1: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/master/ChangeLog
Sergei, please consider upgrading jemalloc.
As discussed on IRC, I'm going to remove it completely and use system jemalloc.
The first problem only happens when building with ATC
$ cd 10.0
|
$ PATH=/opt/at7.1/bin:$PATH cmake .
|
I suppose one needs to run autoreconf in jmalloc (and may be xz) directories to update all autotool-generated files.
And commit.
