Solaris 8(Intel) Build

Solaris 8(Intel) Build

[c.f. morrison]

Hi,
    Is it possible to build Source Navigator on Solaris8/Intel. I built
it with no problems on Linux but 'configure' in Solaris/Intel fails with
the error
' can not find sources in /opt/sfw/SN452-source/snavigator.
I love SN & would dearly love to have it on my Solaris/Intel box.
Thanks in advance

How interesting.  Perhaps that is a symlink to somewhere else?  Can you
try the configure and build on the same disk/partition?

I don't have a Solaris8/Intel box afaik to attempt this on, so I can
only help via remote :)

There's no reason why it should not work.

How about doing this from your build directory:

	sh -v -x /path/to/sn/src/configure --any-options

And look to see why it's failing.  You might also like to try:

	/path/to/src/configure --srcdir=/path/to/src/

Eric,
       I should have made clear that I use /opt/sfw/SN452-source as my source
tree and
/opt/sfw/SN452-build for my build.
Thanks for response

I would like to put on record that Source Navigator builds fine on
Solaris8/Intel, It does demand using the GNU tar on the source package AND
gmake (the Solaris make had problems with one of the makefiles). I'm now
rather happy & thanks to Ben & Eric for their responses.

As far as I know, having both GNU tar and GNU make is a requirement
for building Source-Navigator on any platform (including Windows).
I just wanted to state that for the record so that nobody else
tries to use the vendor supplied (cough, always broken, cough)
tools to build SN.

Building a tar file that can be unpacked with older Unix tar programs is a
simple matter of packaging.  I assume this didn't happen -- Syd?

As for the make problem -- this should not happen, either.  S-N uses
Automake, which generates portable Makefiles.  Can you post the error that
you got so that we can fix such problems?

Cheers, Ben

It does? Last I heard, automake generated makefiles would  
not run with BSD make.  I have not run test myself, this is
just what I have seen users report on other projects.

False.

It is true if you enable dependency tracking with automake 1.4.
However, automake 1.4 was designed so that end users will never enable
this feature.  `make dist' disables it.

Ben,
    Here is the error in Solaris make ... I hope I've provided enough!
