MMS V4.0-4 disappoints on VMS E9.2-1

Post by sms » Thu Apr 20, 2023 2:14 pm

Code: Select all

   I started with a Wget kit in which x86_64 stuff had been built using
cross tools:
      http://antinode.info/ftp/wget/wget-1_20_3b_vms/wget-1_20_3b_vms.zip
      (Corrected URL.  Sorry.)
      
(Note: My Internet connection is currently unreliable, so don't be
amazed by trouble downloading that.)

   On an actual x86_64 system:

V87 $ show version   ! (Just a thought.)
%DCL-W-IVKEYW, unrecognized keyword - check validity and spelling
 \VERSION\

V87 $ tcpip show version

  VSI TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS x86_64 Version X6.0
  on a VMware, Inc. VMware7,1 running OpenVMS E9.2-1  

V87 $ cc /version
VSI C X7.4-726 (GEM 50X23) on OpenVMS x86_64 E9.2-1  

V87 $ mms /id
%MMS-I-IDENT, MMS V4.0-4 © Copyright 2022 VMS Software, Inc and Hewlett-Packard 
Development Company, L.P.


   An attempt to (re-)build did nothing, appropriately, then complained:

V87 $ show default
  V87$DKA100:[utility.SOURCE.wget.wget-1_20_3b_vms.vms]

V87 $ mms /macro = (LARGE=1)

  20-APR-2023 07:57:16
   Destination: [.X86_64L]

   OS_TYPE string: "VMS x86_64 E9.2-1"

define sys 'f$parse( "V87$DKA100:[utility.SOURCE.wget.wget-1_20_3b_vms.vms]descr

   ALL done.

   This worked:
      V87 $ mms /macro = (LARGE=1) CLEAN

   But then, an attempt to build using the native compiler failed for no
obvious reason, with sub-helpful messages:

V87 $ mms /macro = (LARGE=1)

   Adding "LIST=1" to the MMS macros (still) floods the user with
%CC-I-INCLUDEINFO noise messages, but the listing looks to me ok
otherwise.

   The object file has a positive size (smaller than its older,
cross-compiler-built buddy):

Directory V87$DKA100:[utility.SOURCE.wget.wget-1_20_3b_vms.lib.X86_64L]
