Hello Solaris people!

Has any of you been succesful in installing emacs 19.28 on solaris
2.3 yet? I am configuring it this way:

starbase# ./configure --with-x-toolkit --with-x
- You did not tell me what kind of host system you want to
configure.
- I will attempt to guess the kind of system this is.
- Looks like this is a sparc-sun-solaris2.3

Any hint would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Put /usr/ucb in your PATH after /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin.
Make that cahnge permanent by editing your .* files.

After that, you'd better reconfigure and then the built should go
without a hitch.

 $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnu sparc-sun-solaris2

and compiled it with gcc. Worked fine.

Joep.

I just tried that, and while emacs certainly builds, it does not
run correctly (try dired, for example).

I believe Sun is the culprit here - they really screwed some things
up with Solaris 2.4.

If dired is broken, the following probably is applicable:

The solaris FAQ says:

6.16) Why doesn't readdir work?  It chops the first two characters of
    all filenames.

    You're probably linking with libucb and didn't read question
    6.15.  (Readdir in libucb.so wants you to include sys/dir.h,
    but many SunOS 4.1.x programs included <dirent.h>, consequently,
    you're mixing native <dirent.h> struct dirent with libucb
    readdir().  The symptom of this mixup is that the first two
    characters of each filename are missing.  Make sure you use the
    native compiler (default /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc, which may not be in
    your PATH), and not /usr/ucb/cc.
