I happen to do​:

gmake -f GNUmakefile ALL_STATIC=define
(C++ and gmake is the one that comes with strawberry)

I get this error​:
C​:\vad\perl-dev\perl-compile\perl-5.27.9-0\miniperl.exe "-I..\..\lib" -MExtUtils​::Command -e chmod -- 755 ..\..\lib\auto\Unicode\Collate\Collate.a
gmake[1]​: Leaving directory 'C​:/vad/perl-dev/perl-compile/perl-5.27.9-0/cpan/Unicode-Collate'
Making header files for XS...
Unicode​::Normalize, mkheader​: CombiningClass.pl not found at ./mkheader line 67.
  require ./mkheader called at Makefile.PL line 11
Unsuccessful Makefile.PL(dist/Unicode-Normalize)​: code=512 at ..\make_ext.pl line 518.
gmake.EXE​: *** [GNUmakefile​:1584​: Extensions_static] Error 2

.\dist\Unicode-Normalize\mkheader expects for the
File CombiningClass.pl to exist, yet it is generated on Extensions_normalize
stage, IOW should be here during "Extensions" phase;

Next, "ALL_STATIC" means "BUILD_STATIC", so I've edited it to be so.

Therefore I think the attached edit looks proper.

TIA,
Vadim

I can confirm that static build currently fails when done using mingw. But there's another makefile which is also used when building with mingw, win32/makefile.mk, though it's used with dmake, not gmake.

And for me, to make dmake-based all-static build work, the only required change was​:

I suppose that the same applies to gmake-based builds.

thanks

This is correct - to fix the build - all is needed to do - place Extensions_normalize sooner in the chain;

In addition, my patch makes 'ALL_STATIC' to have also 'BUILD_STATIC', and yet fixes an error in helper script
win32\list_static_libs.pl

all in all, seems reasonable update even at 5.27.9, but 5.27.10 also good for it :)

What is the error there? How can I check that it was present before your patch and is absent after applying it?

The incorrect thing there is that objects are "sort"-ed, but there is no actual reason for them to be sorted;

In simple cases - things work

In more complicated cases - when order is significant - linker error happens there, sometimes;

actually order should be preserved;

PS; it was me who introduced that file. Why I placed the 'sort' there, or was it even me - IDK; :)​:)

I agree, left to right ordering of deps has no meaning for a makefile. Usually a maketool, on a NON-PARALLEL build will build from left to right. But during parallel building any dep is fair game to execute at any time if the tree says all sub-deps r completed. Testing each target individually is the only way to prove the dep tree works for it and parallelness also will work. Personally I suggest (and have done this before when editing those Win32 makefiles) putting longer running deps on the left so more cores have more work to do. So if there are 4 deps, one 10 minutes, and 3 2 minutes deps and 1 5 minute, lets call them A10, B2, C2, D2, E5. On a 2 core machine, you want the maketool to do

Core 1 A10 = 10 mins
Core 2 E5 B2 C2 D2 = 11 mins

not

Core 1 E5 A10 = 15 mins
Core 2 B2 C2 D2 = 6 mins

If changing the left to order fixes something, it means there is a bug in the dep tree and the 2 deps that are written as siblings, 1 is parent and 1 is the child in reality and the MKF needs to be restructured to reflect that (or build products changed to not depend on each other, more parallelness).

At the mentioned by me place 'sort' was not on dependencies, rather it was part of " list_static_libs.pl"
The wrong thing there was to re-sort linker 's arguments;

On the other hand, at this makefile goal​:

rebasePE : Extensions_normalize Extensions $(PERLDLL) $(PERLEXE) $(PERLEXESTATIC)

Extensions_normalize should be satisfied before - all other extensions;

I've split the original patch into a series of four which can be applied independently. I've tested them all using a dmake-based mingw toolchain.

I've split the original patch into a series of four which
can be applied independently. I've tested them all using a
dmake-based mingw toolchain.

Nice approach to chew the food in smaller pieces :)
Thanks :)

I wouldn't have applied this. Left to right order can't be depended on.

This is a bug in GNUmakefile, (and also there is another bug, which I mentioned
recently but no-one replied me, under intentionally stupid subject "Bug in perl, yet another one")

PATCH are good in a sense that they do not improve situation but it also does not do it worse.

Don't you mean that they DO improve the situation?

Back when I had to deal with these kinds of things, on a 16-bit Unix
box, we used the tsort command to order libraries. I see that my Linux
box still has that command.

There are multiple bugs here, or design problems. Normalize is a separate target because it is very long to build because of $(UNIDATAFILES)/mktables. Extensions_normalize isn't a dep of Extensions_static. So list_static_libs.pl script errors out if normalize isn't built yet by time of list_static_libs.pl executing, either because its excluded by my attempted mayb wrong fix of " --static !Unicode/Normalize" or because BY CHANCE DLL Extensions_normalize hasn't built yet which indirectly built $(UNIDATAFILES) but it will later be rebuilt as static by Extensions_static target (bug in itself if it happens). Making Extensions_normalize a dep of Extensions_static would break the regular DLL build. Also Extensions_normalize needs a --static flag on static builds not dynamic to generate static .libs not DLLs.

Im tempted to make a Extensions_normalize_dyn and Extensions_normalize_static target, and split Extensions_static into targets, parent (make_ext.pl) child (list_static_libs.pl) and child depends on the mega-build-everything make_ext.pl static target and the other Extensions_normalize_static target. That allows paralleling but all static build products feed in together. I've played with the MKF a bit but I am trying to avoid a "ifeq ($(ALL_STATIC),define)" near Extensions_static but I think thats the only way to control if Normalize is dyn or static. and which bigger target it feeds into.

Don't you mean that they DO improve the
situation?

Bulk88 has concern that reordering of dependancies in makefile goal is not a correct way of fixing things, and explains this point by thinking about parallel build

From this POV - there was a bug, and there is a bug in case of parallel build;

Still, his concern could be addressed later then, I would not mind another separate bug ticket for this.

There is little point of not accepting improvement patches, which incrementally improve the satiation, by arguing that there is another bug nearby

From this POV - there was a bug, and there

IOW a person who introduced "Extensions_normalise" introduced a bug for parallelized build;

Still, his concern
could be addressed later then, I would not mind another

I think this ticket can now be closed since the patches in it, that were applied, that I found issues with, were fixed in https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/908f2cb56527d29c9176e478fa7eee0d02a7c77e
