9 # way to do that is to invoke Configure with

13 # (Note that the trailing slash is *required*.)

510 Here are some notes kindly contributed by Dean Roehrich.
513 Generic notes about building Perl5 on Solaris:
514 - Use /usr/ccs/bin/make.
515 - If you use GNU make, remove its setgid bit.
516 - Remove all instances of *ucb* from your path.
517 - Make sure libucb is not in /usr/lib (it should be in /usr/ucblib).
518 - Do not use GNU as or GNU ld, or any of GNU binutils or GNU libc.
519 - Do not use /usr/ucb/cc.
520 - Do not change Configure's default answers, except for the path names.
521 - Do not use -lmalloc.
522 - Do not build on SunOS 4 and expect it to work properly on SunOS 5.
523 - /dev/fd must be mounted if you want set-uid scripts to work.
526 Here are the gcc-related questions and answers from the Solaris 2 FAQ. Note
529 - run fixincludes correctly
530 - don't use GNU as or GNU ld
532 Question 5.7 covers the __builtin_va_alist problem people are always seeing.
533 Question 6.1.3 covers the GNU as and GNU ld issues which are always biting
535 Question 6.9 is for those who are still trying to compile Perl4.
537 The latest Solaris 2 FAQ can be found in the following locations:

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

578 Subject: Solaris 2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1.48
579 Date: 25 Jul 1995 12:20:18 GMT
581 5.7) Why do I get __builtin_va_alist or __builtin_va_arg_incr undefined?
583 You're using gcc without properly installing the gcc fixed
584 include files. Or you ran fixincludes after installing gcc
585 w/o moving the gcc supplied varargs.h and stdarg.h files
586 out of the way and moving them back again later. This often
587 happens when people install gcc from a binary distribution.
588 If there's a tmp directory in gcc's include directory, fixincludes
589 didn't complete. You should have run "just-fixinc" instead.
591 Another possible cause is using ``gcc -I/usr/include.''
593 6.1) Where is the C compiler or where can I get one?
599 Gcc is available from the GNU archives in source and binary
600 form. Look in a directory called sparc-sun-solaris2 for
601 binaries. You need gcc 2.3.3 or later. You should not use
602 GNU as or GNU ld. Make sure you run just-fixinc if you use
603 a binary distribution. Better is to get a binary version and
604 use that to bootstrap gcc from source.
608 When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing
609 GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their
610 counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x.
612 6.9) I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run.
614 Run Configure, and use the solaris_2_0 hints, *don't* use
615 the solaris_2_1 hints and don't use the config.sh you may
616 already have. First you must make sure Configure and make
617 don't find /usr/ucb/cc. (It must use gcc or the native C
618 compiler: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc)
620 Some questions need a special answer.
622 Are your system (especially dbm) libraries compiled with gcc? [y] y
624 yes: gcc 2.3.3 or later uses the standard calling
625 conventions, same as Sun's C.
627 Any additional cc flags? [ -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
628 -I/usr/ucbinclude] -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
629 Remove /usr/ucbinclude.
631 Any additional libraries? [-lsocket -lnsl -ldbm -lmalloc -lm
632 -lucb] -lsocket -lnsl -lm
634 Don't include -ldbm, -lmalloc and -lucb.
636 Perl 5 compiled out of the box.
638 7.0) 64-bitness, from Alan Burlison (added by jhi 2000-02-21)
640 You need a machine running Solaris 2.7 or above.
644 1. Solaris 2.7 and above will run in either 32 bit or 64 bit mode,
646 2. You can build 64 bit apps whilst running 32 bit mode and vice-versa.
647 3. 32 bit apps will run under Solaris running in either 32 or 64 bit mode.
648 4. 64 bit apps require Solaris to be running 64 bit mode
649 5. It is possible to select the appropriate 32 or 64 bit version of an
650 app at run-time using isaexec(3).
651 6. You can detect the OS mode using "isainfo -v", e.g.
652 fubar$ isainfo -v # Ultra 30 in 64 bit mode
653 64-bit sparcv9 applications
654 32-bit sparc applications
655 7. To compile 64 bit you need to use the flag "-xarch=v9".
656 getconf(1) will tell you this, e.g.
657 fubar$ getconf -a | grep v9
658 XBS5_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
659 XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
