368-----
369Generic notes about building Perl5 on Solaris:
370- Use /usr/ccs/bin/make.
371- If you use GNU make, remove its setgid bit.
372- Remove all instances of *ucb* from your path.
373- Make sure libucb is not in /usr/lib (it should be in /usr/ucblib).
374- Do not use GNU as or GNU ld, or any of GNU binutils or GNU libc.
375- Do not use /usr/ucb/cc.
376- Do not change Configure's default answers, except for the path names.
377- Do not use -lmalloc.
378- Do not build on SunOS 4 and expect it to work properly on SunOS 5.
379- /dev/fd must be mounted if you want set-uid scripts to work.
380
381
382Here are the gcc-related questions and answers from the Solaris 2 FAQ. Note
383the themes:
384 - run fixincludes
385 - run fixincludes correctly
386 - don't use GNU as or GNU ld
387
388Question 5.7 covers the __builtin_va_alist problem people are always seeing.
389Question 6.1.3 covers the GNU as and GNU ld issues which are always biting
390people.
391Question 6.9 is for those who are still trying to compile Perl4.
392
393The latest Solaris 2 FAQ can be found in the following locations:
394 rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet-by-group/comp.sys.sun.admin
395 ftp.fwi.uva.nl:/pub/solaris
396
397Perl5 comes with a script in the top-level directory called "myconfig" which
398will print a summary of the configuration in your config.sh. My summary for
399Solaris 2.4 and gcc 2.6.3 follows. I have also built with gcc 2.7.0 and the
400results are identical. This configuration was generated with Configure's -d
401option (take all defaults, don't bother prompting me). All tests pass for
402Perl5.001, patch.1m.

433From: Casper.Dik@Holland.Sun.COM (Casper H.S. Dik - Network Security Engineer)
434Subject: Solaris 2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1.48
435Date: 25 Jul 1995 12:20:18 GMT
436
4375.7) Why do I get __builtin_va_alist or __builtin_va_arg_incr undefined?
438
439 You're using gcc without properly installing the gcc fixed
440 include files. Or you ran fixincludes after installing gcc
441 w/o moving the gcc supplied varargs.h and stdarg.h files
442 out of the way and moving them back again later. This often
443 happens when people install gcc from a binary distribution.
444 If there's a tmp directory in gcc's include directory, fixincludes
445 didn't complete. You should have run "just-fixinc" instead.
446
447 Another possible cause is using ``gcc -I/usr/include.''
448
4496.1) Where is the C compiler or where can I get one?
450
451 [...]
452
453 3) Gcc.
454
455 Gcc is available from the GNU archives in source and binary
456 form. Look in a directory called sparc-sun-solaris2 for
457 binaries. You need gcc 2.3.3 or later. You should not use
458 GNU as or GNU ld. Make sure you run just-fixinc if you use
459 a binary distribution. Better is to get a binary version and
460 use that to bootstrap gcc from source.
461
462 [...]
463
464 When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing
465 GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their
466 counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x.
467
4686.9) I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run.
469
