help on installation

[Wayne Dernoncourt]

I'm having problems getting SourceNavigator to compile on Solaris.
I've browsed through the archives and couldn't find anything
appropriate - I'm sure I've missed something.  Below is a copy of
the slightly edited dialog between the 'puter and me trying to
compile/install SourceNavigator.

- - - - - -
$ SN452/configure  
Configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.6 host.
Created "Makefile" in /home1/hermes/wayned using "mh-frag"

I do find gcc (also g++ is available if that would work better) -
see above, however I don't see conft* anywhere (I did try conf*
to make sure the syntax was correct, I got lots of config files).
What am I missing?

conftest.c is generated by configure to check the basics
of your compiler.  Does you compiler work for a quick
"Hello World!" program?

If you look in config.log you should get more information
on why it failed.

I think so, then again we just changed compilers where I work (we
were using an older version (from a couple of years ago)).  I'll
do just that and go from there.

I should have thought to look in a log file - it didn't occur to
me.  As soon as this Windows machine finishes chunking on the
disk drive, I'll start eXceed and see what happens.  (I live in a
weird universe, corporate email system - not this account, not at
work - is MS centered, my shop is Unix/Solaris centered, it's only
a little weird, I also have two email accounts at work, my home
email is Solaris using Pine!)

I just dug up a small C program that I had written back in August for
a class, it compiled and linked fine.

I don't see a config.log anywhere in my current directory structure.
I used ls -lR * |grep "Mar 13", here are the results:

15:51:58

$ ls -lR *|grep "Mar 1"
-rw-rw-r--   1 wayned      54263 Mar 13 15:50 Makefile

(well the old version of actions was 26k, this is 70k oh well).
(actions was my test case, it compiled and ran okay)

Well that's good (assuming that you used the same gcc).

config.log will be in the same directory that you run configure in.
Note that you should not runing configure in the source directory.
Create a build directory and run configure from there. I.e

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../src/configure --prefix=/where/you/want/to/install
$ less config.log

It could be the wrong make (wrong version), so far there are at
least two versions of make, gmake could also be there somewhere.
Not sure how to find out which one is being used - which just
returns - no results.

I would think the log file would be in the same directory I ran it
from.  I had unzipped and untarred in my home directory (~) which
created ~/SN452, I ran configure from ~ (./SN452/configure).  Maybe
I'll create a sub-directory and see what happens.  But I didn't
see a log file in ~.  It only took a dozen or so trys with an error
message of "needs to be run from a parallel directory" - maybe
since I'm a level above, not a peer level it doesn't work....

Re: help on installation

[Wayne Dernoncourt]

things continue to get weird

I've now downloaded three versions (two could be from the same
site, I don't remember).  I just downloaded and tried to install
from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/sourcenav/releases/ , prior to
that I tried ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/ - I didn't
keep track of how big the tar.gz files were (ungzipped with
gzip -d SN452.tar.gz), but afterwards the SN452.tar file had
the following characteristics:

59146240 Sep 11  2000 SN452.tar

(I had renamed the first one to SN452-old.tar, both match on size
and date - is there a way to for this Unix newbie to get more
info?)

After I tried to un-tar it, it failed in the same spot all three
times.  The resulting disk usage is 38270, it looks like I'm
missing around a third of the files (assuming a 1=1 relationship,
doubtful it's exact, but it is probably okay for a measure on how
much is missing).

For grins and giggles, here is the info on the tar that I suppose
I'm using:
52620 Jul 16  1997 /usr/sbin/tar
(this is on a Sparc Solaris 2.6 system)

You need to run gnu tar, I don't believe Solaris tar works
with the sn tarball.

Have you tried the Solaris binaries?  Sometimes it easier to just get
a prebuilt version for your system than to try building it for
yourself.

Actually I did try that.  After fixing a couple of complaints
("couldn't find a usable init.tcl in long list of directories" and
giving up, etc. comments along the lines of what next.  When I ran
sn(?, it's been a little while), I got back errors about couldn't
find this, couldn't find that, etc. - looked at the script file,
realized it was calling hyper to do the job and I called hyper
directly and then I got the "couldn't find usable init.tcl" etc.
errors.  I know that sn(?) was setting those for me, but I was
in frustration mode at the time.

I don't know how long this was going to go on, in frustration, I
went back and got gnu tar and then gnu make and compiled those.
Those now seem to work.  Here are the latest set of errors:

It's possible that this file has been somehow modified -- abrowser.l
doesn't use much out of the ordinary from the lex language.

On the other hand, your lex could be broken.  Do you have flex?

Lex? Sun Lex? Broken, surely you jest<g>.  Hmmmm, that's dandy
question, is flex available?  flex doesn't seem to be here, lex is
though, here is the directory entry for it:
73124 Jul 16  1997  /usr/ccs/bin/lex
and a little more info: Software Generation Utilities (SGU)
Solaris/ELF (3.0)

I'm clueless on who or what ccs is about (C Compiler System, Corporate
Computer Site, Complete Chaos Switch?)

You did run the installer that come with the binary?

I think so.  But since you bring that up and I'm not sure, I'll do
it over again.

It's called "INSTALL", you run it helps get everything in the right
place.  It's graphical and it will ask you questions, kind of hard to
miss it.

I didn't run the INSTALL routine, it would be hard not to remember
that. I'm going to do some playing in the AM.

I can understand your frostration, actually every time I want to
build SN (regardless on witch OS), I run into this error, my
solution is to just delete abrowser from the Makefiles and continue
compilation.
I get always alot of problems with the SDK stuff, to be able to
build the whole thing, just delete also those.
The best way to delete those kind of things from the makefiles:
- go to the upper directory of abrowser
- edit Makefile
- delete every thing what is called "abrowser"

Do the same for every directory you want to get rid of.

Of get "flex" from fsf.org and build your own copy and put it in your path.

Re: help on installation

Using gnu make is important.

It makes it easier to do many things, cross compilation is the main one.

Deleting your config.cache before you running configure
can help when you are trying to first configure SN.

from your build directory try:

$ sh ../src/configure --prefix=/where/to/install

If this doesn't work, you need to provide more information,
like, how you are running configure (the command line) and
any other steps you are doing.

That fact you couldn't find config.log is very strange, I'm
not sure how to run configure without generating one.
