Forte and Solaris on Intel

Has anyone tried hosting a Forte environment under Solaris on Intel aka.
Solaris 7/8 Intel Platform Editions?

What is the code to increment that static variable?
I assume there is a function in the same translation
unit that performs this increment.
You can trace it in dbx (or with dtrace) to check if
it is ever called.Yes the static variable does get incremented in the same file and the function doing the increment get's called.. Remember this all works fine under Solaris 8.
I'd love to use dbx but we found that we needed to make one huge so file to get dbx running usefully before. Dloading files under dbx didn't seem to work. Remember that this is a huge app and we have modules from all over the place each with a different build strategy.
Something seems to be clobbering my static variables. I'm think that maybe a structure size has changed since Solaris 8 and maybe that's overwriting stuff. Or maybe we did have a memory issue that Solaris 8 ignores. I remember we had plenty of those when upgrading from Solaris 4/6.
But it looks like I may need to roll up my sleeves and try a full recompile. Deep sigh.
Any more help would be appreciated.

Viper v330 and Solaris 8 (Intel)

Hi,
I would like installing the solaris 8 in my Intel machine but I have a video card(Vipper v330) that isn't supported by Solaris 8(intel). Please, someone knows what video card supported by solaris is compatible with viper v330?
Thanks so much in advance.
Luciano Freire

You may want to try the standard video drivers that come with the
Solaris, and see if that will work. There are quite a few standard
drivers. You can try others as well.
Thx

Solaris 8 (Intel) and Voodoo Banshee

Hi all,
I need install the Solaris 8 operation system in a INTeL machine and it has this kind of video card. Please, there is a driver for this video card?
I downloaded the Solari's HCL and I could not see this card in the Capatibility List. If someone have some way to do this, please send me a email or the driver.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Not sure about Windows 95.
But yes, I have done dual boot with Windows 98 and Solaris 8.
I installed Solaris 8 first, used only 50% of disk for Solaris and then installed Windows 98.
May be somebody else in forum can share their experience with Win95.
Thanks

Solaris on Intel/apps for solaris compatibility

Does anyone know how to run apps available for Sun solaris (sparc verion) to run on Intel solaris? I tried to install sybase client s/w on Intel solaris and obviously it bombed. Is there any kind of emulators or anything that would make this work?
Thanks

Well written code (e.g. avoiding hardware specifics, byte-order differences etc) is intended to be readily portable from Solaris on Intel to Solaris Sparc.
The Forte tools from Sun are recommended, and a Try&Buy version can be had from the Sun download center. Sun also provides the Gnu tools on the companion CD shipped with Solaris media kits or at sunfreeware.com
Have Fun!

How to Install Solaris for Intel so that it boots off from a boot floppy?

Hi all,
Sorry to bother you with this one (I went through all documentations/manuals and could not find straight answers to following
specific questions):
I have one hard drive with 1st partition used by Windows XP and a second partition that's a blank FAT 32 (using Partition Magic)
I want to use for Solaris for Intel.
My very specific questions:
(1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted
partition? I am asking you that because all manuals (except one) pretend that I can run my Solaris install on a blank Fat partition...
but I believe that documentation at multiboot.solaris-x86.org stresses that if the partition is not a blank UFS one, it wont install Solaris
(2)As you already know, some Oses like Linux or FreeBSD can be installed on a partition and be booted off a boot floppy.
So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.
BTW, I currently have Solaris 7 for Intel.
Thanks for the answers.

(1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted You can install Solaris to that blank FAT32 drive but Solaris WILL convert it to UFS BEFORE doing the install. In other words, after the install it will be UFS and not FAT32 anymore.
So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.Not that I know of. Some people have reported booting Solaris off of a USB drive though.

Building mod_jk module on Solaris 10 (Intel Platform)

Hi,
I am trying to build a mod_jk module on a Sun Blade 1500 (Solaris 10 Intel Platform). I downloaded the most recent tomcat connector I could find (jakarta-tomcat-connectors-current-src.tar.gz) and have attempted to build it, but I have received the following error:

Anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

I'm not familiar with what you are trying to accomplish,
I'm more of a hardware person, but...
Sun Blade 1500 systems are NOT x86 architecture.
They are UltraSPARC-IIIi systems.
Could that be contributing to what you see?

10.4.10 image problem with Firefox and Photoshop on Intel and OD AFP server

We are working on a new client image (perfect client image to deploy with Netboot) and our Intel machines, new and old, are throwing errors in CS2 Photoshop and refusing to launch Firefox when we log in to home folders from the OSXserver, local accounts run OK. The Intel Mac Pros we got last year ran Photoshop fine using last years image. Power Macs are running OK logged in on the server and local. The biggest variable is we are now running 10.4.10, the last image was 10.4.9. Anyone seen this, any thoughts, I have tried everything I can think of.
Thanks!

I haven't had any problems with 10.4 and solaris 10. At some point Apple upgraded to some version of OpenSSH that required the addition of the -Y switch to make things work well.

How do I create an Image of my Solaris 10 (Intel) server?

I'm currently running Solaris 10 (Intel) on a Dell PowerEdge 2650. I'd like to create an Image of the server now that I have all the extra software installed and configured correctly.
I used Symantec Ghost for my Window based servers, does anyone have any suggestions for the best method/software to do the same for my Solaris servers? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Using dd is about the most hideous thing to do since restoring the data will cause you much grief. The best approach would be to use the 'ufsdump' command. You can easily dump your slices into files, and perform either full or interactive restores.
Better yet; whenever you get a bigger disk you won't be wasting space (or risk corrupting data) through the use of dd. Next to data the dd command would also restore the partition table, boot sector, etc. And thats not very good if the disks differ too much.

Interval Timing Issue On Solaris 10/Intel

Not sure this is the right forum for this, but I'll give it a shot. Please redirect me if you think there's a better forum. This is going to look like a "C" problem, but this really is a question about something going on in the interactions between the operating system, the JVM, and a piece of native code we have.
We have an interval timing facility that's implemented over a small set of platform-dependent native timing facilities. The *NIX "itimer" facility is used wherever it exists. On RedHat/Fedora we also implement a timer over the RTC device. On Windows we use a WaitableTimer.
On all platforms there's a Java class that bridges to an appropriate timing facility via the JNI, and to date this has worked great on all platforms except for Solaris 10 on Intel. By "worked great" I mean that the clock tics end up being almost exactly what we expect for a given configured Hz update rate. So... e.g. if we set up a timer for 50 Hz, then we actually get 50 Hz +/- some minor variation much less than 1 second.
On Solaris 10/Intel we set up a 50 Hz itimer in a plain-vanilla C app and we get ~50 Hz, but if we call the same C code from Java via the JNI we almost always end up with ~38Hz.
The amount of Java and native code involved is almost trivial, and the hardware is a smoking fast contemporary PC. We ran over the itimer facility on an old Sparc 5 box and it worked fine.
I've tried tweeking sundry esoteric -X and -XX JVM invocation options with no effect.
J2SDK 1.4.2-07 in all cases.
Thoughts?

I'd think you should be posting in the forum for the Solaris 10 os, not a Java forum. Maybe someone in the Java Native Methods forum would have the necessary Solaris 10 expertise, also.
If you do post elsewhere, either close this out with a final post or put a reference(s) to any other posts and say where you want replies posted, so replies aren't needlessly duplicated.

Interval Timing Issue On Solaris 10/Intel When The JNI Is Involved

We've observed an odd behavior bridging to interval timers over the JNI on Solaris 10/Intel, and I was wondering if anybody here has ever seen anything like this.

8. Samsung DVD-RW.
9. HDD = 40 GB Samsung 7200 RPM.
If anybody knows let me know at my e-mail [email protected]

I don't think you will have many problems in this platform, but I'm not 100% sure.
What I recommend you is to get the VMWare and try there. VMWare is a software where you can create a virtual machine running under windows. In this virtual machine you could install solaris 10 (and any other OS you want to test in your computer). I have my Solaris 10 running under VMWare with excellent results (Laptop with Intel Celeron processor)... where I have VMWare installed in Windows!

Ordinarily, the same source files and makefiles that work with C++ 5.0 on Solaris 2.6 should work with C++ 5.3 on Solaris 8.
You didn't say what you did to "adapt the makefile" when changing compilers and OS versions. If the compiler was installed in the default /opt location on each system, we don't think any makefile change would be required. (You might want to make changes for performance or program organization reasons, but we don't think any changes are required just to repeat a working program build.)
What happens if you use the original files that worked with C++ 5.0 on Solaris 2.6?
Are C++ 5.0 and C++ 5.3 are both installed in the same /opt directory? That isn't allowed, and will lead to strange behavior.
Are you continuing a build using the new compiler and OS in a directory containing old binary files or template cache? When changing OS and compilers, it is safest, but not strictly necessary, to rebuild all your binary files. At a minimum, you must delete the old template cache.
Are you still using C++ 5.0 in the build process? If so, you must isolate the use of C++ 5.0 and 5.3. The compilers cannot share a template cache, so you must run compiles in different locations.
Anything beyond these hints will require more support and analysis than we could provide in the Forum. You will probably need to generate a .i file from the compilation and have a support engineer look at it. If you have contract with Sun, please follow the service channel.

Hi,
I feel like laughing....JAVA MUST work on SOLARIS...bcoz both are from same company
the GREAT SUN MICROSYS.
Well Solaris on INTEL does have a problem but obviously not with JAVA......just uninstall/remove all the directories of Java from source....and reinstall fresh latest copy....
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
