Dont use --enable-static and --disable-shared at the same time?? (WHY?)

[Bill Fassler]

Thank you for taking the time to respond.  I did manage to get a browser built and it is working but is not overly stable.  Perhaps I could improve on it based on your feedback.  This is not a front burner issue for me at the moment, but I may be back in touch.

By the way, I did indeed use both flags --enable-static --disable-shared and it DID work!  So I wonder what the "known issue" is because I don't think the problems I am experiencing are related to the use of these two flags.

Yes. The order is not important. Did you tried to compile with just one of this flags? What happens then? I ever used none of this flags to compile.
 

If this is the case can you point me to the historical references or documentation or whatever there is.  

I fear the only way to track down this issue is to check the build system in detail. Look what happens and try to fix it.

I ask because I am building towards an embedded project using the blackfin DSP.  I actually built a konqE browser using their instructions but it is not overly stable and I would like to build a better one if possible.
Here is the ADI uClinux on blackfin site and instructions for building konqE.  Any input or advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.

I'll try to help you, but I don't have the time to dig deeply into build system issues.

  The konqueror browser I am using now does not handle javascript very well and will crash on some sites like www.cnn.com because of it. It also acts funny with cookie management.  For instance if I set reject all cookies all the time in the preferences it will ask me about cookies anyway.  Also saving my network preferences causes the browser to freeze up or crash.



Which snapshot release do you use? It is compiled with rtti-support enabled? The javascript interpreter will crash without rtti-support..


Blackfin DSP processors and their compiler toolchain is a little different and trickier than most because the ABI prepends underscores to their symbols.

Sounds like a lot fun.. ;)



Could you please take a look at these directions:

http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=:browsers

Any feedback that you could provide directly to the ADI team or to me who will relay it to them would be very helpful.

The configure line for the shared release should be changed. You should remove this "--enable-shared --disable-static" completely if you want to build a shared library release. And there is no "--enable-rtti-embedded", therefore the javascript interpreter will crash. Please remember that you have to enable rtti-support in Qt as well.
 I think it is a good idea to compare your configure line with ours at: http://www.basyskom.de/index.pl/konqe


I hope that helps a bit..
