[ECOS] trying to build ecosconfig for Solaris 7

[ECOS] trying to build ecosconfig for Solaris 7

[Deborah Bennett]

I am trying to build ecosconfig for Solaris 7.

I found the reasonable README in tools/src/ which I am following.
This file doesn't give the relative path to the configure script,
but I found one in  tools/src/tools/configtool/standalone/common
which I am using.

I discovered that this configure script inherently assumes that
the build directory (from where you will execute configure
and then do the make) must be in tools/src/tools/configtool/standalone.
I created the build directory (tools/src/tools/configtool/standalone/build)
and ran configure from there.
I got configure to run to completion and create a Makefile.
However, when I try to run make, I get these errors:


c++ -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes 
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Woverloaded-virtual 
-DPACKAGE=\"ecosconfig\" -DVERSION=\"0.1\"  -I. -I../common  -I../../../../infra 
-I../common/../../../../libcdl -I/pkg/local/include 
-I../common/../../common/common    -g -O2 -c ../common/ecosconfig.cxx
In file included from ../common/../../../../libcdl/cdl.hxx:57,
                 from ../common/cdl_exec.hxx:25,

../common/../../../../libcdl/cdlcore.hxx:85: cyg/infra/cyg_type.h: No such file 
or directory
../common/../../../../libcdl/cdlcore.hxx:89: cyg/infra/cyg_ass.h: No such file 
or directory

The files which can't be found are located in tools/src/infra, but
there is no "cyg" in their pathname. Note also that the -I directives
do include the infra directory.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I'm puzzled how an include file
in "tools/src/infra" could be found in <cyg/infra>. Have I found
a bug, or is there something I'm missing? I saw some mail in
the August mail archives from someone else who said he got the host-side tools
to build on Solaris 7, but then they dumped core.

Thanks in advance,

You need to build and install both infra and libcdl before building
ecosconfig itself.

The configure script for ecosconfig assumes that all the headers have
been copied to /usr/local/include.

You need to build the entire host-side tree and not just ecosconfig,
since the latter relies on various libraries such as libcdl.a. You
should be using the configure script that is in the same directory as
the README file. That will take care of all the required
subdirectories in the appropriate order.

With appropriate care it is possible to use the lower-level configure
scripts, but those are really intended for use only by the
maintainers. The top-level configure script is for general use.

That's odd, here (admittedly on Linux) I have no trouble doing:

~/sourceware/ecos/ecos/host/configure --with-tcl=PATHTOINSTALLEDTCL
--with-tcl-version=8.2 
make

Note that part of the configure output includes:

Re: [ECOS] trying to build ecosconfig for Solaris 7

[Greg Shubin]

When I tried to build the ECOS tools on FreeBSD, I found that the configure
script makes a few (Linux-centric?) assumptions about where tcl is installed.
For one, it assumes a single version in a single location (e.g. /usr), where
the include and lib directories can be found.

tcl on FreeBSD allows for having several versions installed, so there are
sudirectories for the include and lib files, e.g. /usr/local/include/tcl8.0
and /usr/local/include/tcl8.2, and the same for the libraries.

Looking at our local Solaris (SunOS 5.1) it seems like there is a hybrid, i.e.
there is one /usr/loca/include/tcl.h, but there are several lib
subdirectories, /usr/local/lib/tcl8.x.

I started to play around with modifying configure, but then I found that
ecosconfig ran just fine under FreBSD's Linux compatiibility. It looked like
you could add a new variable for the library, something like 'with-tcl-lib',
and use 'with-tcl' for the include directory.

This has been raised before, see e.g. the thread
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2000-06/msg00090.html
There are various complications caused by concurrent installs, the use
of symbolic links, subtly different conventions between Unix vs.
Windows vs. cygwin, and so on.

As long as the standard Tcl configure script has been used, if you
specify the same path for Tcl's --prefix and the eCos tools'
--with-tcl, everything should just work. On systems with an unusual
setup this might involve downloading and rebuilding Tcl.

The SunOS setup you describe actually looks right. There should be
/usr/local/include/tcl.h, a /usr/local/lib/libtcl.a (probably a
symbolic link to e.g. libtcl8.0.a), and a directory
/usr/local/lib/tcl8.0/ with auxiliary Tcl scripts. Specifying
--with-tcl=/usr/local should work just fine.

I also have some experimental patches to the relevant autoconf macro
and hence to the various configure scripts, to cope with more unusual
setups, but those are not ready for prime time yet.

[Greg Shubin]

(I hate it when the phone rings and I hit the send button too soon.)

I forgot to mention that you need to modify about four or five configure files
below the main one the same way.

Thank you Bart, this was the trick. The README isn't that specific
about which configure script to use in the tools/src tree
(and I found several). I used tools/src/configure and the configure
worked properly the first time.

This makes sense and explains what I was seeing.
Thanks again.

I have updated the README file to make things clearer (hopefully).
The presence of multiple configure scripts is in large part just the
way autoconf and automake expect to be used, and there is not a lot I
can do about that. I might be able to add some sanity checks to the
various lower-level configure scripts, so that the problem is caught
earlier and a sensible diagnostic is given, something I'll try to look
into at some point.

I have now sucessfully built ecosconfig for Solaris 7.
Here are some notes I compiled.

1) You must use c++ (gcc) 2.9. 2.8 will not work. You will get an
   internal compiler error. (I didn't debug this problem, but I
   could reproduce it if someone wants to see the message).
   I don't think this is currently noted in the README.

2) As someone else noted tangentially, you must use the
   --with-tcl-version flag to configure, since Solaris Tcl installs
   can be multi-version.

3) As is already noted in the tools/src/README file, you must use
   Tcl version 8.

4) As Bart noted earlier in this thread, use tools/src/configure.

I did my tools build from tools/src/build. Here is the configure
command which worked for me (note /pkg/local is where I get
my tools, $CODEMGR_WS is the top of the ecos tree):

../configure --prefix=$CODEMGR_WS/tools/install.solaris --with-tcl=/pkg/local 
--with-tcl-version=8.0

This produced a Makefile which I was able to use to run
make and make install sucessfully.

Thanks to everyone who sent email to help me with this.

Just wondering, did you use GNU make or Solaris make?

GNU Make version 3.75. Good question, and sorry I didn't
make that point clear.
