Earlier versions of Sun Workshop (Forte) C running on Solaris 8

Is it possible to install an earlier version of Sun Workshop C (3.0 or 4.2) on SPARC Solaris 8?
Thanks,
Matt Richmond

These versions of C are not supported on Solaris 8,
versions of 5.0 and higher are supported. You may
get the earlier versions to install, whether they
would work reliabily is entirely another question,
they might, but a bug filed against them on Solaris 8
would not be fixed. The first thing you would hear
is upgrade to WS 5.0 or to FDev 6.

  • Need Sun WorkShop 6 update 2  for Solaris 8

    Would it be possible to download an installation package for Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 for Solaris 8?
    I have an old development project that I need to resurrect, and it requires this version of the Sun compiler.
    Thanks,

    Object files and libraries created by WS6u2 can be linked into programs created by later versions of Sun Studio. The default template model changed in Studio 8, so you might need to add -instances=extern to CC command lines. Apart from that possibility, the only other issue I can think of would be invalid code accepted by WS6u2 that SS11 does not accept. I suggest you give Studio 11 a try, unless company policy forbids it.

  • Can't debug in Sun Workshop 6.2 anymore

    Hi,
    Yesterday, we could not longer debug any of our C++ source code in Sun Workshop 6.2 on Solaris 8. We receive the following message when loading a program:
    Reading <executable>
    There might be too many LWP's in this process.
    See `help dbxenv' under mt_scalable.
    dbx: Cannot open lwpstatus.
    dbx: warning: process initialization failed
    This always occurs on:
    C++ source
    C source
    code with 1 LWP
    code with >1 LWPs
    The same error occurs when we run dbx by itself.
    This error is not occuring on Sun Workshop 6.2 on our Solaris 9 development server.
    Any help, hints are most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Was the application built on Solaris 8 or Solaris 9? An application built on Solaris 9 will not in general run correctly on Solaris 8.
    Solaris 9 uses a different thread library than the default library on Solaris 8. Try re-linking on Solaris 8 (assuming the application was built on Solaris 8) using the optional thread library (which is the only thread library on Solaris 9).
    You don`t have to recompile anything. In each link step, add the options
    -L/usr/lib/lwp -R/usr/lib/lwp
    to the command line (in addition to all existing options).
    Finally, WS6.2 is End Of Life, and little support is available for it. Try using Sun Studio 11 instead. You can use the new debugger on old code, and you can switch to the new compilers when convenient. Studio 11 is free, and supports Solaris 8, 9, and 10. (Studio 12 is the current release, but does not support Solaris 8, which is End Of Life.)

  • Latest JRE version that will run on Solaris 2.5.1?

    Could anyone tell me the latest possible version of the JRE that will run on Solaris 2.5.1? I know that 1.3 will run on Solaris 2.6, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer regarding Solaris 2.5.1. Thanks!

    OK, for anyone else dealing with this type of issue, the fix is simple:  Install the Creative Cloud desktop app if you haven't.  Click on Apps, filter apps by "previous version" and boom, legacy apps.  Easy.

  • I upgraded to FF 7.0.1 and it won't load. If I try to uninstall it, it says it is running. I have uninstalled and rebooted and installed an earlier version but the program won't open. Can someone please help me?

    I have tried everything I can think of and that has been suggested in your knowledge base but FF will not open. I have downgraded to an earlier version but that didn't help so I've uninstalled everything and have done a clean reinstall of 7.0.1. I've rebooted at each step.
    However when I tried to bring my bookmarks into Chrome (so I could keep working) it said FF was open. Same thing when I went to uninstall it. Task Manager does not show it running. Chrome is working so it's not my internet connection.
    I have not installed any new software or hardware recently although I did upgrade Roboform to the latest version. This was the reason to update FF as the RF addon wasn't compatible with the version of FF I was using.
    I've scanned for viruses and the machine is clean.
    I am on a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium. At the moment I am working off my old laptop but I need FF working on my main machine.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kathy

    Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

  • What version of windows is best to run on an Early 2008 IMac?

    What version of Windows is best to run on an Early 2008 IMac? And should I use Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare? My IMac will be a secondary computer now that I got a new IMac. The Early 2008 IMac is an Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB memory, and 2.66 ghz processor speed. It is also running OSX 10.9.5 and Boot Camp is version 5.1.2.
    I mostly want to do this so I can get rid of an old Windows machine that I just use to run Quicken on. I think I need to do this since Intuit does not support online bill pay for Apple versions of Quicken.
    I am average with computers so any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rocco

    Bootcamp gives you access to underlying hardware on the iMac unlike VMware or Parallels. It does require reboot. Most VM engines let you take a Bootcamp Windows and run it as VM where a reboot can be avoided. With 2GB of memory, you should be able to Windows 7, but I would not recommend W8.
    You may also want to look at - Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

  • I'm running FF 3.6.17 and when I try to log into my Blackboard page, I get an error message, "no user is currently logged in." I have noticed that some have had compatibility problems with earlier versions of FF and Blackboard, but what gives?

    This recently upgraded version of Blackboard is also giving me problems with IE, and even Google Chrome. Regardless of which Windows OS I try. On these others, however, I can log in, I just can't edit.
    Blackboard tech support has been blundering with this issue for two and half weeks now. But to no avail. So, I'm wondering if going back to an earlier version of FF would help.

  • My Mac PowerPC can't run 7.0.1 and I can't find a earlier version to download

    I have a Mac Power PC with 10.5.8 OS on it and this last updated to Firefox 7.0.1 won't run except on with an intel processor. There should have been a safeguard so it wouldn't updated, now I can't find an older version to download. I access my medical stuff thru Firefox only and now I'm screwed. Am disabled and I can't go buy a new computer. Can anyone get me to a working link for the earlier version, I think it 6.0.2, have been thru so many sites I'm not sure. I really need some help here.

    I have been using the unofficial port of FF for 10.4 and 10.5 PPC called TenFourFox on my old G4 Quicksilver running 10.4 for a while now, they are up to date with FF7, but since 6.0 they have blocked the Flash plugin since Adobe dropped PPC support several releases ago and it has many "never going to be fixed" security holes, though WebM video plays ok. http://www.tenfourfox.com/

    Hi,
    Thanks for replying and sorry I’m not too much into this.  It doesn’t say which version but I assume its the first as I bought it in 2007 saying its made in Ireland.  Number on the disc is 90062864 1/07.  I hope that might help, if this isn’t Windows 8 compatible can it get an upgrade?

    Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
    Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
    *[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
    You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
    * [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    * https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
    Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.

    Trying safe mode takes seconds. Unfortunatly if you are not willing to do even rudimentary troubleshooting there is not anything we can do to help you.

  • After I downloaded Firefox 4, it said my system cannot run it. How do I get back to an earlier version of Firefox?

    My Mac is running OSX10.4.11. Where do I go to download an earlier version of Firefox (before 4.0) that is compatible with my system?

    Yeah, Firefox 4 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. You can download Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html this download page].

  • I need to get an earlier version of Foxfire 3.6.15, because an add-on I need can't run on 3.6.15.

    I have installed Firefox 3.6.15, but I need to use the IE tab add-on, and it's not available in 3.6.15. I want to know if there's a way to get an earlier version of Firefox that will allow me to use the add-on.
    Thanks.

    I think there may be more than one version of similar add-ons, I just looked quickly and came across https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-2-ff-36/?src=api
    Given that Firefox 4 is likely to be released soon, you may be better going for an up-to-date add-on, rather than considering downgrading Firefox (that has security risk implications).
