Thanks for the Solaris fixing.
Send a patch to rpm-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when you finish and I
will merge
I got it to compile, but still need to test if everything works OK.
There's some warning message about creating lock on "/" when
initializing database, but it seems it creates it.
Anyhow, got some other urgent things to work on, so it might take some
time until I produce a patch. Here's the short list of things if
anybody else needs to compile it on Solaris 9 in the meantime (and also
remineder to myself when I get to it again):
Remove all ucblib stuff. Evil.
Configure puts -R../zlib option into Makefiles. Compiler/linker barks
on it (argument to -R must be absolute path). It is not needed anyhow
(zlib is statically linked). Remove.
db.h in rpmdb is a copy from Linux. Use the customized one (for build
system) from db directory instead.
rpmdb/rpmdb.c needs to include signal.h (I think I moved this to
rpmio/rpmsq.h).
File lib/rpmds.c. Put _SC_ULONG_MAX and _SC_UINT_MAX into ifdefs (they
don't exist on Solaris). Also part that references utsname->domainname
(for example, by adding HAVE_UTSNAME_DOMAINNAME to config.h), no
domainname in utsname on Solaris.
Makefile in python directory. Configure places string 'pythonyes' for
include and lib directory. Should be (for example) python2.4. Seems
configure detects python, but fails to detect version or something.
misc/libmisc.a needs to have error.o compiled and included into it on
Solaris (no error function in standard system libs).
In util and toplevel directories, add misc/libmisc.a to LIBS (couple of
binaries need error.o from it).
During make install, popt libs get installed. This might overwrite
already installed system libs. If RPM needs its own copy, it should
statically link them or intall them under different name. Install
shouldn't be done in popt directory (or it should install them under
different name).
