Build for solaris 8 on solaris 10 - possible?

I want to build/compile an application for solaris 8, but I only have access to a machine running solaris 10. Can I compile for solaris 8 on a solaris 10 machine, and if so, what do I have to do to make it work?

The short answer is generally no.
The long answer is that it can be done but you will need to make sure that on the Solaris 10 machine you only use functions/headers/libraries that are available on Solaris 8 otherwise they will not be found and the software won't work.

  • Lightning 1.0 build for the Thunderbird 3b4 build for Solaris 10?

    I use Thunderbird as my primary email client because quite frankly the version of Evolution in Solaris 10 is awful.
    I posted to the mozilla.support.calendar list over in google groups some months ago asking what happened to the Solaris builds of Lightning
    http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.calendar/browse_thread/thread/12e27450b2cc67e0/7877dde2ace2ebf2
    Essentially they said Sun used to provide servers to build Lightning on and now they don't. What does it take to get Sun to provide those again?
    Evolution 1.46 is atrocious. 1999 called and wants there email client back....
    The latest build for Solaris is Lightning 0.9. Of course the project itself has moved on to 1.0+. 0.9 still works with Thunderbird 2. Thunderbird 3 while still in beta is already so much better than Thunderbird 2, but it requires Lightning 1.0 builds. You can download Sun contributed builds of Thunderbird and Firefox from the mozilla releases site. Why not build recent Lightning builds so people can actually use their Sun calendar with the Sun contributed version of Thunderbird?

    A similar question was asked w.r.t. 64-bit Linux builds:
    "Dan, regarding 64bit nightlys, this is somewhat dependant on Thunderbird itself having 64 bit nightlys. We will surely have contrib builds with 64 bits for releases though."
    The latest build for Solaris is Lightning 0.9. Of course the project itself has moved on to 1.0+. The project has not hit 1.0 release (or beta) yet.

    C++ 5.7 will not give good results building Boost.
    Support for boost began with C++ 5.9 (Sun Studio 12), but you will get better results using the current release, Sun Studio 12 update 1, and better still with the upcoming release, Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2.

  • Help building bdb ultrasparc 64 solaris 10

    The default build for Berkeley DB runs fine but the libs built are 32bit. The rest of my app is 64bit and uses pthreads. Build system is an ultrasparc running Solaris 10.
    I attempt to build Berkeley DB to get 64bit libraries as follows:
    .../db-4.8.26.NC/build_unix> make realclean
    .../db-4.8.26.NC/build_unix> env CXXFLAGS="-m64" CFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ../dist/configure enable-cxx enable-pthread_api
    at this point, the configure script complains: "configuration: error: invalid feature name: pthread_api
    How can I correctly build 64 bit BDB libraries, which I need to link my c++ app with?
    Thanks

    The only reference to pthread_api in config.log is on line 7:
    $ ../dist/configure --enable-pthread_api
    It's telling me what the invocation command line is. Notice that it doesn't mention the --enable-cxx, which is a little worrisome.
    You say you cannot reproduce this issue? Did you you use the same line as me? I only get the message, and consequent failure of the configure script if I first set environment variables for a 64 bit compile.
    So with this, the configure script fails (and prints the message about pthread_api being an invalid parameter:
    env CXXFLAGS="-m64" CFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" LIBS="-lpthread" ../dist/configure enable-cxx enable-pthread_api
    Maybe a better question to ask is:
    How do I build 64bit BDB libraries on an ultrasparc Solaris 10 machine?
    Thanks

  • Using SHA1 for passwords in Solaris 10

    Does any know how to use SHA1 encryption for passwords on Solaris 10? I know I'd need to modify crypt.conf, but I don't know where to get the .so to go along with that.
    I'm moving some users from Mac OS X, and their passwords are SHA1 hashes.

    yes, no and maybe :-)
    There is a command in /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210/sbin which allows you to control the LOM, the name of this command is "scadm", the LOM packages on the supplemental CD are for different (older) types of LOM and doesn't to anything useful at all on a SunFire V210.
    However, even though the scadm command let you administer the LOM, it won't display the temprature, but you can use the prtdiag -v command to display information about fans, tempratures and friends.
    Happy Easter.

  • Video driver for Compaq 1240 (solaris 8)

    I've installed Solaris 8 on my Laptop, a compaq P 1240,

    Always check the Hardware Compatibility List on Sun website for
    information on compatible hardware on Solaris.
    http://soldc.sun.com/support/certify/info.html
    For video devices, you can look under:

    There is also a site for drivers downloads:

    Oracle Instant Client was a "feature" introduced with Oracle 10g. There is no 9i version.
    Code that links with Oracle 9i libraries should be able to be linked with Instant Client 10gR2.
    The resulting application will be able to connect to databases from Oracle 8.1 onwards.

  • Accurate answer for Solaris 9 - Solaris 10 features

    Hi Guys,
    We are about to make decision migrating from solaris 9 to solaris 10 but I could not find an accurate answer what differences exist between these versions. I know, there are features mentioned in solaris 10 web page but it is not enough. In an conversation with Chris Ratcliffe, he mentioned there are new 600 features added to Solaris 10. So what are they? I can't understand Why there isn't an informative whitepaper or that kind of article for differences between Solaris 9 - 10 from Sun.
    If you can please point out something different then Solaris 10 New Features page, I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    Very good question. I will try to answer.
    1. Performance : Any application which run on Solaris 9 if you installed on Solaris 10 , you will get 30 % performace gain.
    2. You also get following benefit.
    a. Zfs -- this file system eliminates need of volume manager and easy to use it.
    b. Zone: You can create virtual server inside your server. You reboot the that server. Some limitation exists but nice feature.
    c. Dtrace : You can find point of problem for your application the help of dtrace. Some expertise is needed to use this.
    d. Firewall : Firewall included with this OS.
    e. SMF : This feasure keeps centralised information about all services. ( Complicated for new user. ) This are few one.
    3. Some new system bundeled with Solaris 10 and they do not support Solaris 9. ( T1000 and T2000 )
    I am using solaris 10 since last 1 year and are happy about it. But upgradation need to planned carefully. Go for only ( and only ) June 2006 release.
    Best Luck.

  • Where can i find the downloadable for C++ on Solaris 8 and 10?

    Hello Guys,
    Where can i find the downloadable for C++ on Solaris 8 and 10?
    Thanks in advance.
    Satish

    Albeit Sun Studio 12 doesn't support Solaris 8, while Sun Studio 11 does, you would probably want to use 12's IDE during development process, so give it a try. You can use compilers from Sun Studio 11 (stable version already available) together with IDE/debugger from Sun Studio 12 (EA available for download and stable version on its way).

  • How to use Flash Builder  for Eclipse Luna ( is it possible??)

    How to use Flash Builder  for Eclipse Luna ( is it possible??)

    Yes. I have Flash Builder 4.6 and 4.7 running in different Eclipse Luna installs.
    More details at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4527443
    On Mac, I had to have the 32bit version of Luna for 4.6, and the 64bit version of Luna for 4.7 (and  I recently started using  4.7 with Eclipse Mars).
    For 4.6 you need to first download Eclipse 3.6 and install the Flash Builder 4.6 plugin to that Eclipse install. For 4.7 you need to download Eclipse 3.7 and install the plugin to that Eclipse install. Once it's installed in the 3.x version, you can then copy the fb*.link files from the Eclipse 3.x dropins folders into your Eclipse Luna's dropin folder.
    There is an issue where something in Flash Builder 4.7 won't work right when using it as a plugin, not sure but it might be something with building ANEs.

  • Display Postscript Toolkit (dpstk library) for 64 bit Solaris

    Does anyone know whether the
    DPS Toolkit (dpstk library) is available for 64 bit Solaris operating systems?

    Thanks for getting me to the troublemaker ArielK. 
    I can confirm disabling APSDaemon.exe, aka, new Apple Push for WiFi Sync and renaming (or deleting if you are more risk oriented) APSDaemon.exe and APSDaemon_main.dll in this folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support" resolved my issue. 
    Alternatively, another slightly more annoying but less techy workaround for those nervous about changing filenames is to start iTunes in Safe Mode every time.  You must do it via Programs > iTunes > hold down Ctrl-Shift then click iTunes (does not work if you do it by clicking a short cut in programs list or taskbar, whatever...).  Maybe this disables WiFi Sync by default, dunno.  Don't care at this point, but it seemed to work.
    I can live without WiFi Sync for now, but its a nice feature I would really like to use in the future.
    Apple please fix!!!
