-
- -----
- Generic notes about building Perl5 on Solaris:
- - Use /usr/ccs/bin/make.
- - If you use GNU make, remove its setgid bit.
- - Remove all instances of *ucb* from your path.
- - Make sure libucb is not in /usr/lib (it should be in /usr/ucblib).
- - Do not use GNU as or GNU ld, or any of GNU binutils or GNU libc.
- - Do not use /usr/ucb/cc.
- - Do not change Configure's default answers, except for the path names.
- - Do not use -lmalloc.
- - Do not build on SunOS 4 and expect it to work properly on SunOS 5.
- - /dev/fd must be mounted if you want set-uid scripts to work.
-
-
- Here are the gcc-related questions and answers from the Solaris 2 FAQ. Note
- the themes:
- - run fixincludes
- - run fixincludes correctly
- - don't use GNU as or GNU ld
-
- Question 5.7 covers the __builtin_va_alist problem people are always seeing.
- Question 6.1.3 covers the GNU as and GNU ld issues which are always biting
- people.
- Question 6.9 is for those who are still trying to compile Perl4.
-
- The latest Solaris 2 FAQ can be found in the following locations:
- rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet-by-group/comp.sys.sun.admin
- ftp.fwi.uva.nl:/pub/solaris
-
- Perl5 comes with a script in the top-level directory called "myconfig" which
- will print a summary of the configuration in your config.sh. My summary for
- Solaris 2.4 and gcc 2.6.3 follows. I have also built with gcc 2.7.0 and the
- results are identical. This configuration was generated with Configure's -d
- option (take all defaults, don't bother prompting me). All tests pass for
- Perl5.001, patch.1m.
-
- Summary of my perl5 (patchlevel 1) configuration:
- Platform:
- osname=solaris, osver=2.4, archname=sun4-solaris
- uname='sunos poplar 5.4 generic_101945-27 sun4d sparc '
- hint=recommended
- Compiler:
- cc='gcc', optimize='-O', ld='gcc'

- so=so

- From: Casper.Dik@Holland.Sun.COM (Casper H.S. Dik - Network Security Engineer)
- Subject: Solaris 2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1.48
- Date: 25 Jul 1995 12:20:18 GMT
-
- 5.7) Why do I get __builtin_va_alist or __builtin_va_arg_incr undefined?
-
- You're using gcc without properly installing the gcc fixed
- include files. Or you ran fixincludes after installing gcc
- w/o moving the gcc supplied varargs.h and stdarg.h files
- out of the way and moving them back again later. This often
- happens when people install gcc from a binary distribution.
- If there's a tmp directory in gcc's include directory, fixincludes
- didn't complete. You should have run "just-fixinc" instead.
-
- Another possible cause is using ``gcc -I/usr/include.''
-
- 6.1) Where is the C compiler or where can I get one?
-
- [...]
-
- 3) Gcc.
-
- Gcc is available from the GNU archives in source and binary
- form. Look in a directory called sparc-sun-solaris2 for
- binaries. You need gcc 2.3.3 or later. You should not use
- GNU as or GNU ld. Make sure you run just-fixinc if you use
- a binary distribution. Better is to get a binary version and
- use that to bootstrap gcc from source.
-
- [...]
-
- When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing
- GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their
- counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x.
-
- 6.9) I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run.
-
- Run Configure, and use the solaris_2_0 hints, *don't* use
- the solaris_2_1 hints and don't use the config.sh you may
- already have. First you must make sure Configure and make
- don't find /usr/ucb/cc. (It must use gcc or the native C
- compiler: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc)
-
- Some questions need a special answer.
-
- Are your system (especially dbm) libraries compiled with gcc? [y] y
-
- yes: gcc 2.3.3 or later uses the standard calling
- conventions, same as Sun's C.
-
- Any additional cc flags? [ -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
- -I/usr/ucbinclude] -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
- Remove /usr/ucbinclude.
-
- Any additional libraries? [-lsocket -lnsl -ldbm -lmalloc -lm
- -lucb] -lsocket -lnsl -lm
-
- Don't include -ldbm, -lmalloc and -lucb.
-
- Perl 5 compiled out of the box.
