I built GRASS last week on Solaris 7 and have put together a few notes
on the build. It was built on an Ultra Spac II w/ 500 MB mem, gcc v.
2.95.1.
I built grass with ... --prefix=/some_other_dir --with-socks (now
sockets)
Here are my notes:
- I was able to build it as myself (not root) and specify the build
directory.
- the first problem I encountered was the script to build the man pages
is a perl script which looks for perl in /usr/bin. My perl is in
/usr/local/bin. I corrected the script an the and pages were created
correctly.
- I changed the order of the CFLAGs defined in CMD/generic/make.mid so
the "-I(INCLUDE_DIR)" was in front of "$(EXTRA_CFLAGS)". This fixed the
problem where another config.h was read instead of the GRASS one in
INCLUDE_DIR. The rogue config.h from some other program should not have
been there in the first place. Changing the flags order ensured that the
correct config.h was picked up.
- I had trouble with the unix_sock.c in libes/gis with PF_LOCAL not
recognized by the version of solaris sockets installed. Eric has since
corrected this problem.
- The sockets lib was not getting included (-lsocket) in the build. It
was defined under CMD/head/head.arch with the flag "XEXTRALIBS" however
this was not being picked up by the necessary build. I added a
"-lsocket" to XDRLIB which corrcted the problem.
- After the build finished, make install failed because of unrecognized
flags (?) in the Sun tar. Fortunately, I have encountered this problem
before and I also had a version of gnu-tar which was able to install the
programs.
- NVIZ failed to install because it claimed there were no TK TCL libs.
When I examined the head.arch file the TCLTKLIBS line was empty. I added
-ltk and -ltcl and NVIZ built cleanly.
If there are any questions please let me know.

just added a perl search routine into "configure[.in]" which sets
PERL in /src/CMD/head/head
Can we utilize this somehow for the
./src/scripts/contrib/g.html2man/g.html2man
script?

I will change
src/CMD/generic/make.mid
accordingly. Hope it's o.k. for all platforms. Tested on Linux
and Solaris (by Bob).

I guess this is a "configure" thing, Solaris specific?

SUN tar is rather odd.
- NVIZ failed to install because it claimed there were no TK TCL libs.
When I examined the head.arch file the TCLTKLIBS line was empty. I added
-ltk and -ltcl and NVIZ built cleanly.
Will be a "configure" thing as well.
Thanks for your notes,
Markus

Hmm... my Solaris build (11/99) picks up the sockets lib. What patch level are
you
using? I think that could be it. I'm checking now.

I was not aware of this separate socket library (it is part of libc
here).

That would do it..

What, no version numbers? At least the inconsistency is consistent...
Linux => -ltk8.? -ltcl8.?
CygWin => -ltk8? -ltcl8?
Solaris => -ltk -ltcl
Was configure able to find the headers?

Eric,
Configure did pick up the headers and the lib directory, only the actual libs
line was empty. It should have picked up 8.0 for the version number.
