haproxy 2.5.3 compiles but fails to start

Barcoboy · 03-18-2022, 07:24 PM

Greetings. I'm trying to upgrade haproxy from 2.2.9 to 2.5.3 via sbopkg on my Slackware64-15.0 machine. sbopkg is able to download, compile, and install the package successfully, but when I try to run /etc/rc.d/rc.haproxy, I get the following:

Code:

FATAL ERROR: invalid code detected -- cannot go further, please recompile!
The source code was miscompiled by the compiler, which usually indicates that
some of the CFLAGS needed to work around overzealous compiler optimizations
were overwritten at build time. Please do not force CFLAGS, and read Makefile
and INSTALL files to decide on the best way to pass your local build options.

Build options :
  TARGET  = linux-glibc
  CPU     = generic
  CC      = cc
  CFLAGS  = -O2 -fPIC
  OPTIONS = USE_PCRE=1 USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_ZLIB=1 USE_NS=1
  DEBUG   =

Wondering if anybody else has had any luck with getting the Slackbuild script to compile a working version?

looks like haproxy has become picky about its build flags: just delete these two lines from the haproxy.SlackBuild and rebuild/reinstall it

Code:

--- ./haproxy.SlackBuild.orig   2022-03-17 18:41:57.132985000 +0100
+++ ./haproxy.SlackBuild        2022-03-19 18:15:03.313985000 +0100

thanks for the report!

That indeed fixed it, many thanks! I had tried removing the -O2 optimization parameter, but I guess that wasn't enough. :-)
