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

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

285 Subject: Solaris 2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1.48
286 Date: 25 Jul 1995 12:20:18 GMT
288 5.7) Why do I get __builtin_va_alist or __builtin_va_arg_incr undefined?
290 You're using gcc without properly installing the gcc fixed
291 include files. Or you ran fixincludes after installing gcc
292 w/o moving the gcc supplied varargs.h and stdarg.h files
293 out of the way and moving them back again later. This often
294 happens when people install gcc from a binary distribution.
295 If there's a tmp directory in gcc's include directory, fixincludes
296 didn't complete. You should have run "just-fixinc" instead.
298 Another possible cause is using ``gcc -I/usr/include.''
300 6.1) Where is the C compiler or where can I get one?
306 Gcc is available from the GNU archives in source and binary
307 form. Look in a directory called sparc-sun-solaris2 for
308 binaries. You need gcc 2.3.3 or later. You should not use
309 GNU as or GNU ld. Make sure you run just-fixinc if you use
310 a binary distribution. Better is to get a binary version and
311 use that to bootstrap gcc from source.
315 When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing
316 GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their
317 counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x.
319 6.9) I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run.
321 Run Configure, and use the solaris_2_0 hints, *don't* use
322 the solaris_2_1 hints and don't use the config.sh you may
323 already have. First you must make sure Configure and make
324 don't find /usr/ucb/cc. (It must use gcc or the native C
325 compiler: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc)
327 Some questions need a special answer.
329 Are your system (especially dbm) libraries compiled with gcc? [y] y
331 yes: gcc 2.3.3 or later uses the standard calling
332 conventions, same as Sun's C.
334 Any additional cc flags? [ -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
335 -I/usr/ucbinclude] -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
336 Remove /usr/ucbinclude.
338 Any additional libraries? [-lsocket -lnsl -ldbm -lmalloc -lm
339 -lucb] -lsocket -lnsl -lm
341 Don't include -ldbm, -lmalloc and -lucb.
