Never compile anything in a locale other than "C" unless you are sure
|
||
|
|
that your C-compiler and the program 'nm' has been patched.
|
||
|
|
This is not needed with Solaris 2.6 or later and with the Workshop 5.0
|
||
|
|
compiler or later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even if you are a recent Solaris version, use locale "C" in case of problems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To ensure that locale "C"' is set, do
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
setenv LC_ALL C
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in csh
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LC_ALL=C
|
||
|
|
export LC_ALL
|
||
|
|
in sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
before running make. Or simply call
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
env LC_ALL=C make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The reason:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) On Solaris before 2.5.1 'nm' dumps core in any other locale.
|
||
|
|
For that reason lorder will not work.
|
||
|
|
*** no patch available **** but fixed on Solaris 2.5.1
|
||
|
|
according to Sun
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) The SunPro C-compiler will not convert floating
|
||
|
|
point numbers correctly if e.g. in "de" locale (Germany)
|
||
|
|
1.3 will be interpreted as 1.0!!!!
|
||
|
|
*** patch available ***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) /usr/xpg4/bin/tr does not work correctly if locale is not "C"
|
||
|
|
Try:
|
||
|
|
echo ABC | env LC_ALL=de /usr/xpg4/bin/tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
it prints:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BCD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to do compilations on Solaris, it is best not have /usr/ucb
|
||
|
|
in your PATH. If you want to have /usr/ucb in the PATH it must be the last
|
||
|
|
entry. You also should put /usr/ccs/bin/ before /usr/xpg4/bin/ in the PATH
|
||
|
|
to make sure that /usr/ccs/bin/make is used and not /usr/xpg4/bin/make.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To be able to use 'make' 'as' and 'ld' you need to make sure that
|
||
|
|
/usr/ccs/bin is in your path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Avoid /usr/ucb and /usr/xpg4/bin in your PATH if you have problems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure - even if you use GCC - you don't use GNU as, GNU ld
|
||
|
|
and GNU tsort/lorder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For CD-Recording please read the README.volmgt too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On Solaris you need to stop the volume management if you like to use the USCSI
|
||
|
|
fallback SCSI transport code. Even things like cdrecord -scanbus
|
||
|
|
will not work if the volume management is running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you run Solaris 7 FCS, install patch 107465-02 to fix a read ahead bug in the
|
||
|
|
hsfs code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have problems with 12 byte SCSI commands on Solaris (mainly x86) get
|
||
|
|
Patch 108779-01
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have problems with ISO-9660 partitions > 4 GB where Solaris wraps to
|
||
|
|
offset mod 4 GB when reading from the FS install patch 113277-04.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IMPORTANT information for Solaris x86
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If have no DMA, you will get problems with buffer underruns and may never use
|
||
|
|
the maximum write speed of current CD/DVD drives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more information, read README.solaris-x86-ata-DMA and README.solaris-x86-ATAPI-DMA
|
||
|
|
and take care that the locations for patching may change in future versions.
