219 Here are some notes kindly contributed by Dean Roehrich.
222 Generic notes about building Perl5 on Solaris:
223 - Use /usr/ccs/bin/make.
224 - If you use GNU make, remove its setgid bit.
225 - Remove all instances of *ucb* from your path.
226 - Make sure libucb is not in /usr/lib (it should be in /usr/ucblib).
227 - Do not use GNU as or GNU ld, or any of GNU binutils or GNU libc.
228 - Do not use /usr/ucb/cc.
229 - Do not change Configure's default answers, except for the path names.
230 - Do not use -lmalloc.
231 - Do not build on SunOS 4 and expect it to work properly on SunOS 5.
232 - /dev/fd must be mounted if you want set-uid scripts to work.
235 Here are the gcc-related questions and answers from the Solaris 2 FAQ. Note
238 - run fixincludes correctly
239 - don't use GNU as or GNU ld
241 Question 5.7 covers the __builtin_va_alist problem people are always seeing.
242 Question 6.1.3 covers the GNU as and GNU ld issues which are always biting
244 Question 6.9 is for those who are still trying to compile Perl4.

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

290 5.7) Why do I get __builtin_va_alist or __builtin_va_arg_incr undefined?
292 You're using gcc without properly installing the gcc fixed
293 include files. Or you ran fixincludes after installing gcc
294 w/o moving the gcc supplied varargs.h and stdarg.h files
295 out of the way and moving them back again later. This often
296 happens when people install gcc from a binary distribution.
297 If there's a tmp directory in gcc's include directory, fixincludes
298 didn't complete. You should have run "just-fixinc" instead.
300 Another possible cause is using ``gcc -I/usr/include.''
302 6.1) Where is the C compiler or where can I get one?
308 Gcc is available from the GNU archives in source and binary
309 form. Look in a directory called sparc-sun-solaris2 for
310 binaries. You need gcc 2.3.3 or later. You should not use
311 GNU as or GNU ld. Make sure you run just-fixinc if you use
312 a binary distribution. Better is to get a binary version and
313 use that to bootstrap gcc from source.
317 When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing
318 GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their
319 counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x.
321 6.9) I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run.
323 Run Configure, and use the solaris_2_0 hints, *don't* use
324 the solaris_2_1 hints and don't use the config.sh you may
325 already have. First you must make sure Configure and make
326 don't find /usr/ucb/cc. (It must use gcc or the native C
327 compiler: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc)
329 Some questions need a special answer.
331 Are your system (especially dbm) libraries compiled with gcc? [y] y
333 yes: gcc 2.3.3 or later uses the standard calling
334 conventions, same as Sun's C.
336 Any additional cc flags? [ -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
337 -I/usr/ucbinclude] -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
338 Remove /usr/ucbinclude.
340 Any additional libraries? [-lsocket -lnsl -ldbm -lmalloc -lm
341 -lucb] -lsocket -lnsl -lm
343 Don't include -ldbm, -lmalloc and -lucb.
