Sun

I installed the sunfreeware versions of gcc and libiconv so I could bootstrap pkgsrc. When trying to build the pkgsrc version of gcc 3.4 I get "ld.so.1: makedoc: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory". Running ldd on that binary tells me "libgcc_s.so.1 => (file not found)" - twice. I have a couple versions of libgcc_s.so on the system, but not a pkgsrc version. Can someone give me any hints as to what is going on?

I have a question: why pkgsrc when there is blastwave.org?

My question is why learn multiple packaging systems, when there is one that I know, works well, and is available for multiple platforms?

Okay, fair enough.

I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib before doing compilations with gcc on Solaris.

I've read that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is kind of hackish, but I don't know enough about compilers and such to understand why that is.

(a) it's hackish if you don't know what you are doing

(b) it's nothing to do with compilers and everything to do with link loaders.

The claim is you can insert a rogue library in the path to upset things. The answer is to use fully qualified paths on programs that are SUID.

For programs that are not SUID it doesn't truely make a difference.

man crle its the Solaris way.

If you are trying to compile with sun GCC, it's in /usr/ccs/bin. Make sure it's in your path.

So I'll just necro this. I've been slowly refurbishing the Ultra-3 laptop. It has Solaris 10 on it. It also has the SUNWgcc package.

pkgsrc bootstraps fine, but nothing will build; it says
No acceptable compiler for (whatever package).

In /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf, I have PKGSRC_COMPILER set to /usr/sfw/bin/gcc, which is where the gcc that successfully built pkgsrc's bootstrap is. What gives?

pkgsrc is kind of retarded (oops I prolly shouldn't use that word with a medical professional!), you have to have usr/sfw/bin/gcc in your $PATH as well.

I thought I did, though. I'll recheck everything. I just finished getting Firefox 38 on it.

Turned out I had to add USE_PKGSRC_GCC=no and USE_NATIVE_GCC=yes to get it off the ground (and bmake clean everywhere that could be tainted).

Now, as usual, it's busily building everything else as a prerequisite for everything else, but it's working, I guess.
