I have a 64 bit ubuntu 10.10

I tried everything to build erlang with hipe support, to no avail.

I tried using kerl
KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--enable-hipe" kerl build R14B03 r14b03_hipe

Then I tried on a source I dowloaded using
./configure --enable-hipe

I even removed the following lines in otp_build script which disables hipe for linux
"

if target_contains linux; then
XX=`echo $* | grep -v able-hipe`
if [ "$*" = "$XX" ]; then
CONFIG_FLAGS="$CONFIG_FLAGS --disable-hipe"
fi
fi
"
then do a ./configure --enable-hipe

I can't get a build with hipe enabled. I don't understand why for linux hipe is disabled in the first place.

The only way I can get a hipe enabled erl is through ubuntu software center, which has a erlang-base-hipe module. However that is an old build R13.

Can anyone help me? I tried but I don't know why simply ./configure --enable-hipe does not work.

you are misreading that script.
It adds --disable-hipe, if there's no explicit --enable-hipe or --disable-hipe
given to ./configure
XX is *empty*, if there's something containing "able-hipe" on the commandline,
so it *differs* from "$*", so nothing is added to CONFIG_FLAGS.
If there is nothing on the commandline matching "able-hipe", then XX is the
given commandline, so it matches "$*" and "--disable-hipe" get's added.

What's the exact error you are getting?
It works for me (I use gentoo, FWIW)

Regards,
Michael

I don't get any errors.
I do
./confgure --enable-hipe
make
sudo make install

I don't get any errors. But afterwards when I run erl (and I made sure I am running /usr/local/lib/erlang/bin/erl) I get a vm that does not have hipe.

I really do not understand what (you think) the problem is and more
importantly I do not understand what it is you are doing. Are you
compiling from source and if so where did you get this source from.
(My advice: get it from Erlang's github repo.)

On most (all?) Linuxes, hipe is enabled by default, so you should really
not need --enable-hipe. What is the slogan when you start the system?
If it's something like:

Erlang R14B0? [source] [64-bit] ...[hipe] ...

then HiPE is enabled.

This is what I get when I start the system:
Erlang R14B03 (erts-5.8.4) [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [rq:8] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

1) I got the source from
http://www.erlang.org/download.html

2) I downloaded from git:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/tree/OTP_R14B03 (by not using git command, rather clicking on download link to download the zip file OTP_R14B03)
Interestingly when you do this you don't get the "configure" files, and config.h.in files for two directories (which causes ./cofigure --enable-hipe to fail), so I copied them from the source I downloaded from erlang.org

In both cases I did ./configure --enable-hipe and then a make. I have no idea why I don't get [hipe] when I run erl.

3) I used kerl from:
https://github.com/dreverri/kerl
and ran it like this:
KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--enable-hipe kerl build R14B03 r14b03_hipe


I am on a 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 - the Maverick Meerkat -
here is uname -a output:
Linux ahmet-asus 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I know, I probably sound like an idiot, but I want to know if anyone has built this on 10.10 64 bit ubuntu.

Could it be a shell thing, a variable that I got?

AHA moment!!!!!

Finally I found an interesting post before from times of R13B02:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.erlang.general/42230

On my machine m4 processor was not installed, and when I piped configure output, I see the following lines:
------------------
checking for m4... no
configure: HiPE disabled as no valid m4 is found in PATH
------------------

So; that was the problem, I did a 'sudo apt-get instal 4" and re-making it, I will tell if it fixes the problem.

It did work!
The problem was my ubuntu distro did not have m4 installed, and I never noticed the configure error. That previous error was deep in google search pages, so it took me awhile to see it.

I am hoping this post will be a good reference for people who have ubuntu distros.
