+=head1 NAME
+
+README.solaris - Perl version 5 on Solaris systems
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes various features of Sun's Solaris operating system
+that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just perl) is
+compiled and/or runs. Some issues relating to the older SunOS 4.x are
+also discussed, though they may be out of date.
+
+For the most part, everything should just work.
+
+Starting with Solaris 8, perl5.00503 (or higher) is supplied with the
+operating system, so you might not even need to build a newer version
+of perl at all. The Sun-supplied version is installed in /usr/perl5
+with a link to /usr/bin/perl. Do not disturb that installation unless
+you really know what you are doing. If you remove the perl supplied
+with the OS, there is a good chance you will render some bits of your
+system inoperable. If you wish to install a newer version of perl,
+install it under a different prefix from /usr/perl5. Common prefixes
+to use are /usr/local and /opt/perl.
+
+=head2 Solaris Version Numbers.
+
+For consistency with common usage, perl's Configure script performs
+some minor manipulations on the operating system name and version
+number as reported by uname. Here's a partial translation table:
+
+ Sun: perl's Configure:
+ uname uname -r Name osname osvers
+ SunOS 4.1.3 SunOS 4.1.3 sunos 4.1.3
+ SunOS 5.6 Solaris 2.6 solaris 2.6
+ SunOS 5.8 Solaris 8 solaris 2.8
+
+=head1 RESOURCES
+
+There are many, many source for Solaris information. A few of the
+important ones for perl:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Solaris FAQ
+
+The Solaris FAQ is available at
+L<http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2.html>.
+
+=item Precompiled Binaries
+
+Precompiled binaries, links to many sites, and much, much more is
+available at L<http://www.sunfreeware.com>.
+
+=item Solaris Documentation
+
+All Solaris documentation is available on-line at L<http://docs.sun.com>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 SETTING UP
+
+=head2 File Extraction Problems.
+
+Be sure to use a tar program compiled under Solaris (not SunOS 4.x)
+to extract the perl-5.x.x.tar.gz file. Do not use GNU tar compiled
+for SunOS4 on Solaris. (GNU tar compiled for Solaris should be fine.)
+When you run SunOS4 binaries on Solaris, the run-time system magically
+alters pathnames matching m#lib/locale# so that when tar tries to create
+lib/locale.pm, a file named lib/oldlocale.pm gets created instead.
+If you ignore this advice and use a a SunOS4-compiled tar anyway, you
+must find the incorrectly renamed file and move it back to lib/locale.pm.
+
+=head2 Compiler and Related Tools.
+
+You must use an ANSI C compiler to build perl. Perl can be compiled
+with either Sun's add-on C compiler or with gcc. The C compiler that
+shipped with SunOS4 will not do.
+
+=head3 Include /usr/ccs/bin/ in your PATH.
+
+Several tools needed to build perl are located in /usr/ccs/bin/: ar,
+as, ld, and make. Make sure that /usr/ccs/bin/ is in your PATH.
+
+You need to make sure the following packages are installed
+(this info is extracted from the Solaris FAQ):
+
+for tools (sccs, lex, yacc, make, nm, truss, ld, as): SUNWbtool,
+SUNWsprot, SUNWtoo
+
+for libraries & headers: SUNWhea, SUNWarc, SUNWlibm, SUNWlibms, SUNWdfbh,
+SUNWcg6h, SUNWxwinc, SUNWolinc
+
+for 64 bit development: SUNWarcx, SUNWbtoox, SUNWdplx, SUNWscpux,
+SUNWsprox, SUNWtoox, SUNWlmsx, SUNWlmx, SUNWlibCx
+
+=head3 Avoid /usr/ucb/cc.
+
+You don't need to have /usr/ucb/ in your PATH to build perl. If you
+want /usr/ucb/ in your PATH anyway, make sure that /usr/ucb/cc is NOT
+in your PATH before the real C compiler.
+
+=head3 Sun's C Compiler
+
+If you use Sun's C compiler, make sure the correct directory
+(usually /opt/SUNWspro/bin/) is in your PATH before /usr/ucb/.
+
+=head3 GCC
+
+If you use gcc, make sure your installation is recent and
+complete. As a point of reference, perl-5.6.0 built fine with
+gcc-2.8.1 on both Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 8. You'll be able to
+Configure perl with
+
+ sh Configure -Dcc=gcc
+
+If you have updated your Solaris version, you may also have to update
+your GCC. For example, if you are running Solaris 2.6 and your gcc is
+installed under /usr/local, check in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib and make
+sure you have the appropriate directory sparc-sun-solaris2.6/. If gcc's
+directory is for a different version of Solaris than you are running,
+then you will need to rebuild gcc for your new version of Solaris.
+
+You can get a precompiled version of gcc from
+L<http://www.sunfreeware.com/>.
+
+=head3 GNU as and GNU ld
+
+The versions of as and ld supplied with Solaris work fine for building
+perl. There is normally no need to install the GNU versions.
+
+If you decide to ignore this advice and use the GNU versions anyway,
+then be sure that they are relatively recent. Versions newer than 2.7
+are apparently new enough. Older versions may have trouble with
+dynamic loading.
+
+If your gcc is configured to use GNU as and ld but you want to use the
+Solaris ones instead to build perl, then you'll need to add
+-B/usr/ccs/bin/ to the gcc command line. One convenient way to do
+that is with
+
+ sh Configure -Dcc='gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/'
+
+Note that the trailing slash is required. This will result in some
+harmless error messages as Configure is run:
+
+ gcc: file path prefix `/usr/ccs/bin/' never used
+
+These messages may safely be ignored.
+(Note that for a SunOS4 system, you must use -B/bin/ instead.)
+
+Alternatively, you can use the GCC_EXEC_PREFIX environment variable to
+ensure that Sun's as and ld are used. Consult your gcc documentation
+for further information on the -B option and the GCC_EXEC_PREFIX variable.
+
+=head3 GNU make
+
+Sun's make works fine for building perl.
+If you wish to use GNU make anyway, be sure that the set-group-id bit is not
+set. If it is, then arrange your PATH so that /usr/ccs/bin/make is
+before GNU make or else have the system administrator disable the
+set-group-id bit on GNU make.
+
+=head3 Avoid libucb.
+
+Solaris provides some BSD-compatibility functions in /usr/ucblib/libucb.a.
+Perl will not build and run correctly if linked against -lucb since it
+contains routines that are incompatible with the standard Solaris libc.
+Normally this is not a problem since the solaris hints file prevents
+Configure from even looking in /usr/ucblib for libraries, and also
+explicitly omits -lucb.
+
+=head2 Environment
+
+=head3 PATH
+
+Make sure your PATH includes the compiler (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/ if you're
+using Sun's compiler) as well as /usr/ccs/bin/ to pick up the other
+development tools (such as make, ar, as, and ld). Make sure your path
+either doesn't include /usr/ucb or that it includes it after the
+compiler and compiler tools and other standard Solaris directories.
+You definitely don't want /usr/ucb/cc.
+
+=head3 LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+If you have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable set, be sure that
+it does NOT include /lib or /usr/lib. If you will be building
+extensions that call third-party shared libraries (e.g. Berkeley DB)
+then make sure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable includes
+the directory with that library (e.g. /usr/local/lib).
+
+If you get an error message
+
+ dlopen: stub interception failed
+
+it is probably because your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
+includes a directory which is a symlink to /usr/lib (such as /lib).
+The reason this causes a problem is quite subtle. The file
+libdl.so.1.0 actually *only* contains functions which generate 'stub
+interception failed' errors! The runtime linker intercepts links to
+"/usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0" and links in internal implementations of those
+functions instead. [Thanks to Tim Bunce for this explanation.]
+
+=head1 RUN CONFIGURE.
+
+See the INSTALL file for general information regarding Configure.
+Only Solaris-specific issues are discussed here. Usually, the
+defaults should be fine.
+
+=head2 64-bit Issues.
+
+See the INSTALL file for general information regarding 64-bit compiles.
+In general, the defaults should be fine for most people.
+
+By default, perl-5.6.0 (or later) is compiled as a 32-bit application
+with largefile and long-long support.
+
+=head3 General 32-bit vs. 64-bit issues.
+
+Solaris 2.7 and above will run in either 32 bit or 64 bit mode, via a reboot.
+You can build 64 bit apps whilst running 32 bit mode and vice-versa.
+32 bit apps will run under Solaris running in either 32 or 64 bit mode.
+64 bit apps require Solaris to be running 64 bit mode
+
+Existing 32 bit apps are properly known as LP32, i.e. Longs and
+Pointers are 32 bit. 64-bit apps are more properly known as LP64.
+The discriminating feature of a LP64 bit app is its ability to utilise a
+64-bit address space. It is perfectly possible to have a LP32 bit app
+that supports both 64-bit integers (long long) and largefiles (> 2Gb),
+and this is the default for perl-5.6.0.
+
+For a more complete explanation of 64-bit issues, see the Solaris 64-bit
+Developer's Guide at http://docs.sun.com:80/ab2/coll.45.13/SOL64TRANS/
+
+You can detect the OS mode using "isainfo -v", e.g.
+
+ fubar$ isainfo -v # Ultra 30 in 64 bit mode
+ 64-bit sparcv9 applications
+ 32-bit sparc applications
+
+By default, perl will be compiled as a 32-bit application. Unless you
+want to allocate more than ~ 4Gb of memory inside Perl, you probably
+don't need Perl to be a 64-bit app.
+
+=head3 Large File Suppprt
+
+For Solaris 2.6 and onwards, there are two different ways for 32-bit
+applications to manipulate large files (files whose size is > 2Gbyte).
+(A 64-bit application automatically has largefile support built in
+by default.)
+
+First is the "transitional compilation environment", described in
+lfcompile64(5). According to the man page,
+
+ The transitional compilation environment exports all the
+ explicit 64-bit functions (xxx64()) and types in addition to
+ all the regular functions (xxx()) and types. Both xxx() and
+ xxx64() functions are available to the program source. A
+ 32-bit application must use the xxx64() functions in order
+ to access large files. See the lf64(5) manual page for a
+ complete listing of the 64-bit transitional interfaces.
+
+The transitional compilation environment is obtained with the
+following compiler and linker flags:
+
+ getconf LFS64_CFLAGS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
+ getconf LFS64_LDFLAG # nothing special needed
+ getconf LFS64_LIBS # nothing special needed
+
+Second is the "large file compilation environment", described in
+lfcompile(5). According to the man page,
+
+ Each interface named xxx() that needs to access 64-bit entities
+ to access large files maps to a xxx64() call in the
+ resulting binary. All relevant data types are defined to be
+ of correct size (for example, off_t has a typedef definition
+ for a 64-bit entity).
+
+ An application compiled in this environment is able to use
+ the xxx() source interfaces to access both large and small
+ files, rather than having to explicitly utilize the transitional
+ xxx64() interface calls to access large files.
+
+Two exceptions are fseek() and ftell(). 32-bit applications should
+use fseeko(3C) and ftello(3C). These will get automatically mapped
+to fseeko64() and ftello64().
+
+The large file compilation environment is obtained with
+
+ getconf LFS_CFLAGS -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
+ getconf LFS_LDFLAGS # nothing special needed
+ getconf LFS_LIBS # nothing special needed
+
+By default, perl uses the large file compilation environment and
+relies on Solaris to do the underlying mapping of interfaces.
+
+=head3 Building an LP64 Perl
+
+To compile a 64-bit application with a recent Sun Compiler, you need to
+use the flag "-xarch=v9". getconf(1) will tell you this, e.g.
+
+ fubar$ getconf -a | grep v9
+ XBS5_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LINTFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_LINTFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ _XBS5_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ _XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ _XBS5_LP64_OFF64_LINTFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ _XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_CFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ _XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_LDFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+ _XBS5_LPBIG_OFFBIG_LINTFLAGS: -xarch=v9
+
+This flag is supported in Sun WorkShop Compilers 5.0 and onwards when
+used on Solaris 2.7 onwards.
+
+If you are using gcc, you need to use -mcpu=v9 -m64 instead. This
+option is not supported in the installation of gcc-2.8.1 that I have
+at hand, but is supported in more recent versions. [XXX -- any
+precise citations?]
+
+All this should be handled automatically by the hints file, if
+requested.
+
+If you do want to be able to allocate more than 4Gb memory inside
+perl, then you should use the Solaris malloc, since the perl
+malloc breaks when dealing with more than 2Gb of memory. You can do
+this with
+
+ sh Configure -Uusemymalloc
+
+=head3 Long Doubles.
+
+As of 5.6.0, long doubles are not working.
+
+=head2 Threads.
+
+It is possible to build a threaded version of perl on Solaris. The entire
+perl thread implementation is still experimental, however, so beware.
+Perl uses the sched_yield(3RT) function. In versions of Solaris up
+to 2.6, that function is in -lposix4. Starting with Solaris 7, it is
+in -lrt. The hints file should handle adding this automatically.
+
+=head2 Malloc Issues.
+
+You should not use perl's malloc if you are building with gcc. There
+are reports of core dumps, especially in the PDL module. The problem
+appears to go away under -DDEBUGGING, so it has been difficult to
+track down. Sun's compiler appears to be ok with or without perl's
+malloc. [XXX further investigation is needed here.]
+
+You should also not use perl's malloc if you are building perl as
+an LP64 application, since perl's malloc has trouble allocating more
+than 2Gb of memory.
+
+You can avoid perl's malloc by Configuring with
+
+ sh Configure -Uusemymalloc
+
+=head1 MAKE PROBLEMS.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Dynamic Loading Problems With GNU as and GNU ld
+
+If you have problems with dynamic loading using gcc on SunOS or
+Solaris, and you are using GNU as and GNU ld, see the section
+L<"GNU as and GNU ld"> above.
+
+=item ld.so.1: ./perl: fatal: relocation error:
+
+If you get this message on SunOS or Solaris, and you're using gcc,
+it's probably the GNU as or GNU ld problem in the previous item
+L<"GNU as and GNU ld">.
+
+=item dlopen: stub interception failed
+
+The primary cause of the 'dlopen: stub interception failed' message is
+that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable includes a directory
+which is a symlink to /usr/lib (such as /lib). See
+L<"LD_LIBRARY_PATH"> above.
+
+=item #error "No DATAMODEL_NATIVE specified"
+
+This is a common error when trying to build perl on Solaris 2.6 with a
+gcc installation from Solaris 2.5 or 2.5.1. The Solaris header files
+changed, so you need to update your gcc installation. You can either
+rerun the fixincludes script from gcc or take the opportunity to
+update your gcc installation.
+
+=item sh: ar: not found
+
+This is a message from your shell telling you that the command 'ar'
+was not found. You need to check your PATH environment variable to
+make sure that it includes the directory with the 'ar' command. This
+is a common problem on Solaris, where 'ar' is in the /usr/ccs/bin/
+directory.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 MAKE TEST
+
+=head2 op/stat.t test 4
+
+op/stat.t test 4 may fail if you are on a tmpfs of some sort.
+Building in /tmp sometimes shows this behavior. The
+test suite detects if you are building in /tmp, but it may not be able
+to catch all tmpfs situations.
+
+=head1 PREBUILT BINARIES.
+
+You can pick up prebuilt binaries for Solaris from
+L<http://www.sunfreeware.com>, ActiveState L<http://www.activestate.com>,
+and L<http://www.perl.com> under the Binaries list at the top of the page.
+There are probably other sources as well. Please note that these sites
+are under the control of their respective owners, not the perl developers.
+
+=head1 RUNTIME ISSUES.
+
+=head2 Limits on Numbers of Open Files.
+
+The stdio(3C) manpage notes that only 255 files may be opened using
+fopen(), and only file descriptors 0 through 255 can be used in a
+stream. Since perl calls open() and then fdopen(3C) with the
+resulting file descriptor, perl is limited to 255 simultaneous open
+files.
+
+=head1 SOLARIS-SPECIFIC MODULES.
+
+See the modules under the Solaris:: namespace on CPAN,
+L<http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Solaris/>.
+
+=head1 SOLARIS-SPECIFIC PROBLEMS WITH MODULES.
+
+=head2 Proc::ProcessTable
+
+Proc::ProcessTable does not compile on Solaris with perl5.6.0 and higher
+if you have LARGEFILES defined. Since largefile support is the
+default in 5.6.0 and later, you have to take special steps to use this
+module.
+
+The problem is that various structures visible via procfs use off_t,
+and if you compile with largefile support these change from 32 bits to
+64 bits. Thus what you get back from procfs doesn't match up with
+the structures in perl, resulting in garbage. See proc(4) for further
+discussion.
+
+A fix for Proc::ProcessTable is to edit Makefile to
+explicitly remove the largefile flags from the ones MakeMaker picks up
+from Config.pm. This will result in Proc::ProcessTable being built
+under the correct environment. Everyting should then be OK as long as
+Proc::ProcessTable doesn't try to share off_t's with the rest of perl,
+or if it does they should be explicitly specified as off64_t.
+
+=head2 BSD::Resource
+
+BSD::Resource versions earlier than 1.09 do not compile on Solaris
+with perl 5.6.0 and higher, for the same reasons as Proc::ProcessTable.
+BSD::Resource versions starting from 1.09 have a workaround for the problem.
