7# If perl fails tests that involve dynamic loading of extensions, and
8# you are using gcc, be sure that you are NOT using GNU as and ld. One
9# way to do that is to invoke Configure with
10#
11# sh Configure -Dcc='gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/'
e766ed8d 12#
13# (Note that the trailing slash is *required*.)
14# gcc will occasionally emit warnings about "unused prefix", but
15# these ought to be harmless. See below for more details.

518Generic notes about building Perl5 on Solaris:
519- Use /usr/ccs/bin/make.
520- If you use GNU make, remove its setgid bit.
521- Remove all instances of *ucb* from your path.
522- Make sure libucb is not in /usr/lib (it should be in /usr/ucblib).
523- Do not use GNU as or GNU ld, or any of GNU binutils or GNU libc.
524- Do not use /usr/ucb/cc.
525- Do not change Configure's default answers, except for the path names.
526- Do not use -lmalloc.
527- Do not build on SunOS 4 and expect it to work properly on SunOS 5.
528- /dev/fd must be mounted if you want set-uid scripts to work.

531Here are the gcc-related questions and answers from the Solaris 2 FAQ. Note
532the themes:
533 - run fixincludes
534 - run fixincludes correctly
535 - don't use GNU as or GNU ld
536
537Question 5.7 covers the __builtin_va_alist problem people are always seeing.
538Question 6.1.3 covers the GNU as and GNU ld issues which are always biting
539people.
540Question 6.9 is for those who are still trying to compile Perl4.
541
542The latest Solaris 2 FAQ can be found in the following locations:

545
546Perl5 comes with a script in the top-level directory called "myconfig" which
547will print a summary of the configuration in your config.sh. My summary for
548Solaris 2.4 and gcc 2.6.3 follows. I have also built with gcc 2.7.0 and the
549results are identical. This configuration was generated with Configure's -d
550option (take all defaults, don't bother prompting me). All tests pass for
551Perl5.001, patch.1m.

582From: Casper.Dik@Holland.Sun.COM (Casper H.S. Dik - Network Security Engineer)
583Subject: Solaris 2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1.48
584Date: 25 Jul 1995 12:20:18 GMT
585
5865.7) Why do I get __builtin_va_alist or __builtin_va_arg_incr undefined?
587
588 You're using gcc without properly installing the gcc fixed
589 include files. Or you ran fixincludes after installing gcc
590 w/o moving the gcc supplied varargs.h and stdarg.h files
591 out of the way and moving them back again later. This often
592 happens when people install gcc from a binary distribution.
593 If there's a tmp directory in gcc's include directory, fixincludes
594 didn't complete. You should have run "just-fixinc" instead.
595
596 Another possible cause is using ``gcc -I/usr/include.''
597
5986.1) Where is the C compiler or where can I get one?
599
600 [...]
601
602 3) Gcc.
603
604 Gcc is available from the GNU archives in source and binary
605 form. Look in a directory called sparc-sun-solaris2 for
606 binaries. You need gcc 2.3.3 or later. You should not use
607 GNU as or GNU ld. Make sure you run just-fixinc if you use
608 a binary distribution. Better is to get a binary version and
609 use that to bootstrap gcc from source.
610
611 [...]
612
613 When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing
614 GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their
615 counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x.
616
6176.9) I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run.
618
619 Run Configure, and use the solaris_2_0 hints, *don't* use
620 the solaris_2_1 hints and don't use the config.sh you may
621 already have. First you must make sure Configure and make
622 don't find /usr/ucb/cc. (It must use gcc or the native C
623 compiler: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc)
624
625 Some questions need a special answer.
626
627 Are your system (especially dbm) libraries compiled with gcc? [y] y
628
629 yes: gcc 2.3.3 or later uses the standard calling
630 conventions, same as Sun's C.
631
632 Any additional cc flags? [ -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
633 -I/usr/ucbinclude] -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
634 Remove /usr/ucbinclude.
635
636 Any additional libraries? [-lsocket -lnsl -ldbm -lmalloc -lm
637 -lucb] -lsocket -lnsl -lm
638
639 Don't include -ldbm, -lmalloc and -lucb.

642
8e86fe69 6437.0) 64-bitness, from Alan Burlison (added by jhi 2000-02-21)
644
645 You need a machine running Solaris 2.7 or above.
646
647 Here's some rules:
648
649 1. Solaris 2.7 and above will run in either 32 bit or 64 bit mode,
650 via a reboot.
651 2. You can build 64 bit apps whilst running 32 bit mode and vice-versa.
652 3. 32 bit apps will run under Solaris running in either 32 or 64 bit mode.
653 4. 64 bit apps require Solaris to be running 64 bit mode
654 5. It is possible to select the appropriate 32 or 64 bit version of an
655 app at run-time using isaexec(3).
656 6. You can detect the OS mode using "isainfo -v", e.g.
657 fubar$ isainfo -v # Ultra 30 in 64 bit mode
658 64-bit sparcv9 applications
659 32-bit sparc applications
660 7. To compile 64 bit you need to use the flag "-xarch=v9".
661 getconf(1) will tell you this, e.g.
662 fubar$ getconf -a | grep v9
663 XBS5_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
664 XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
665 XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LINTFLAGS: -xarch=v9
666 XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
667 XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
668 XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_LINTFLAGS: -xarch=v9
669 _XBS5_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
670 _XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
671 _XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LINTFLAGS: -xarch=v9
672 _XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
673 _XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
674 _XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_LINTFLAGS: -xarch=v9
675

677 > > Perl to compiled in v9 mode? Or should we for compatibility stick
678 > > with 32 bit builds and let the people in the know to add the -xarch=v9
679 > > to ccflags (and ldflags?)?
