Qt QMake is missing - Solaris 11 and Solaris Studio 12.3

OS: Oracle Solaris 11 - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/overview/index.html
Development tools: Solaris Studio 12.3 - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solarisstudio/overview/index.html
Hi, I want to make Qt desktop applications for Oracle Solaris 11, and Solaris Studio supports Qt projects. However the binary QMake is missing.
Is it available somewhere?
Thank you a lot.

Here's what I used to compile up (I think) 90%+ of Qt 4.8.4. The configure step creates qmake and the compile rolls along until it hits a lot of non standard C++ code. But you get qmake out of it. The tarball is the latest snapshot of the 4.8.x git tree.
Caveat: It's being built using Sun Studio 12.3 and the stdcxx library from my package site, along with a bunch of dependant packages from there. I never got Qt 4.8.4 to finish compiling with webkit, the 3rdparty/javascriptcore/JavaScriptCore/* files are truly awful non compliant code and error out every step of the compile. Sigh.
Good luck

If you get this far you'll hit the dodgy code, but you'll have a qmake binary made. You can remove the -webkit option and it'll actually build qt I believe, but alas I need webkit

  • Missing data in server monitor under linux and solaris

    Some metrics are not displayed in our environments, specifically under the statistics tab, request statistics, active coldfusion thread, we always have a zero line.  Also under memory usage, "cf threads by memory usage" is always empty.  I have all three buttons at the top checked so they are monitoring.  Is there something else I'm doing wrong?
    Environment 1 : dell2850->centos5->vmware->centos5->32bitJDK5->tomcat6->coldfusion8
    Environment 2 : sun5120->solaris10->64bitJDK5->tomcat6->coldfusion8
    I'm specifically wanting thread info to check if I should increase the defaults in CFIDE configuration.  Most everything on the server is being delivered faster now that we are using a 64bit JVM and have moved to solaris in production (from windows).  But there are some sections of our cfm logic that are taking much longer now (2000% longer)
    Thanks

    Hi all,
    does anyone can write some info why java Threads are
    recorded in the list of process (ps -ef) when you run
    on a Linux box, but not the same when you run on
    Solaris ? Which Thread support is more
    performant/stable that on Linux or that on Solaris?
    Thanks
    FrancescoLinux treats kernell threads as light weight processes and displays them as if they are actual processes - they of course are not, so the results of 'ps' can be misleading. Solaris fully differentiates between its three concepts of threads, lightweight processes and processes and 'ps' only shows actual processes.
    Both implementations in Linux and Solaris perform well.
    By the way, Solaris 8 has an optional, slightly different thread model than earlier versions of Solaris (in fact it is more like NT's) and that can be more efficient for JVM's or other multithreaded systems running on SMP systems. It can also be worse - your mileage may vary.

  • Oracle 11g R2 on HP and Solaris

    Hello All,
    In the Last Week i was installing Oracle 11R2 on two HP servers and one Solaris server. i faced common issues on the three servers and i posted threads about some of these issues.
    But i want to summarize it so i know the solution of each one in order not to face it again.
    Below is the info
    I have 3 servers, two of them are HP where Oracle 10g is installed and one Solaris server where i am doing the Oracle installation for the first time.
    On the 3 servers and when i was installing Oracle 11g R2 the installation failed at the end when it was trying to create the db with this error: the file Seed_Database.dfb containing the datafiles information is missing.
    knowing that i download it Oracle 11g R2 from the Oracle website for the three server. Why this file is always missed ? and even now and after i created a custom database manually (Not during the installation) i can't create a "general purpose db" through dbca because it needs this template file.
    while creating the database on the 3 servers and on step 4 of 12 of the tab related to OEM is disabled. and the emctl is not automatically configured after the creation of the db. why this tab is always disabled on step 4 of 12?
    Regards.

    SriniI would think if the download were corrupted, as evidenced by a mis-match in the checksum, he probably never could have unzipped it, much less actually ran an install that simply didn't create some of the stuff he wanted.

  • Jds-help and Solaris Management Console compatible with jdk6u1?

    Hello,
    I am running Sol 10 11/06 for sparc on a Sun Blade. I just upgraded to jdk6u1 from jdk5. I installed all required j6 packages, and then installed patches for j6u1. I then used pkgrm to remove all jdk5-related packages (I searched for all packages starting with SUNWj5 and then removed them). Java seems to be working fine.
    Now, my Desktop Overview and other java-related help functions do not work. I get this error:
    # jds-help ghelp:jdsoverview
    ** (jdshelp:826): WARNING **: An exception occured 'Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0''
    A large jre error log is produced that mentions a problem with JVM:
    # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
    # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xfc94dd6c, pid=1338, tid=1
    # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.6.0_01-b06 mixed mode, sharing)
    # Problematic frame:
    # V [libjvm.so+0x14dd6c]
    Solaris Management Console does not work either, and gives an error that no suitable java 2 version is installed in /usr/java.
    Maybe I removed a j5 package I shouldn't have. Which j5 packages are related to the operation of jds-help? Any ideas as to what is causing my problem with jds-help and smc?
    Does anyone know FOR SURE that jdshelp and smc are compatible with jdk6u1?
    Thank you...

    I got rid of jdk6 and re-installed 1.5.0.11. Solaris Management Console 2.1 works again, so it appears as if smc and Sun Studio 11 are both INCOMPATIBLE with jdk/jre6.
    jds-help still does not work, with a jvm error, so perhaps it is also incompatible with jdk/jre 1.5.0.10+.

  • Installation with Oracle and Solaris 9

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm trying to install EP 6.0 sp8 with WAS 6.40 (java) on a Oracle 9.2.0.4 DB and Solaris 9 OS.
    I have installed this EP version with SQL/Win without problems, but now I have several errors.
    Somebody has installed this successfully ?   Any clue would be helpful.
    I have 2 errors by the moment:
    1) ERROR at line 1:
       ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s)
       ORA-06512: at line 17
    2) Some problem related with network adapters (My server has 4 network adapters)
    thanks a lot for your help !
    Regards from Mexico,
    Diego Hernández

    Hi Diego,
    you should edit the /etc/hosts file.
    Change the frontend ip adress to the servername and delete other entries for this ip adress(eg XXX-b,XXXX-c).
    Start a new installation(even Database)->then you won't get different profile Startup Scripts.

  • Why  difference in Solaris and Linux

    Hi,
    The following program is giving results diferently when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris and Linux.
    Why it is so.
    here is the code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <malloc.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    int main( void )
    size_t size;
    char *buf;
    if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
    exit (1);
    size = sizeof( buf );
    strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");
    printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size : %d ", buf, buf,size);
    if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)
    exit ( 1);
    *(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) = '\0';
    printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
    free( buf);
    exit( 0 );
    Solaris:
    Address is : 134160 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
    Address is : 135704 String is : HelloWor
    Linux:
    Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorld size : 4

    Hi,
    The following program is giving results diferently
    when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris
    and Linux.
    Why it is so.
    here is the code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <malloc.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    int main( void )
    size_t size;
    char *buf;
    if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
    exit (1);
    size = sizeof( buf );The size you get here is the size of buf, which is the size of a pointer, not the size of what buf points to. sizeof(*buf) would give you size of a char, the type (not the object) that buf points to.
    There is no portable way to find out the number of bytes allocated on the heap if you are give only a pointer to the memory. You have to remember the size some other way..
    strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");A literal string consists of the characters in the string plus a terminating null, all of which are copied by strcpy. You allocated 10 chars for buf, but are writing 11 chars into it. At this point, the program has undefined behavior. Literally anything at all could happen, because you can't predict the effect of writing outside the bounds of allocated memory.
    printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size :
    e : %d ", buf, buf,size);
    if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)The "sizeof" operator in this case is returning the size of the type of a literal 20, which is an int. If you want to allocate 20 bytes, you write 20, not sizeof(20).
    exit ( 1);
    *(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) == '\0';SInce you can't count on buf having more than 4 bytes at this time, you are writing into unallocated memory, with undefined results.
    printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
    free( buf);
    exit( 0 );
    Instead of asking why you get different results on different platforms, you should be asking why the program doesn't crash on all platforms. :-)
    You can avoid these problems with keeping track of allocating memory by using the C++ standard library instead of trying to manage low-level details yourself as in C code.
    The standard string class, for example, extends itself as needed, and ensures that heap memory is freed when the string object is deleted or goes out of scope. You don't need pointers, malloc, free, or sizeof to use C++ strings.

  • Samba and Solaris, access slow via XP

    Hi everyone,
    I've new to solaris and I've installed 10, update 5. I've configured samba (very badly I believe) so that I can access my solaris box from my XP 64 computer.
    Both are on a local network (connected via a Belkin router) and in the same workgroup. I can see the XP machine from solaris, but not access anything (I just get a 'cannot show contents of directory' message). This is not my main problem, since I mostly want to access the solaris system from XP (I want to set up the solaris box as a RAID Z NAS). This works to a degree. I can see and access my solaris filesystem from XP. Hurray. I have two problems:
    1. I have set guest to NO, but I never get asked for a password (I've set up an account on the solaris system with a password using smbpasswd). I just get access. Why is this? I don't want a bunch of ner-do-wels skulking about my server and erasing files and such.
    2. While I can stream music fine, after a minute or so, if I want to browse files from XP it stalls for about one minute (I think it is re-logging in) and while this happens any music being streamed stops. How do I stay connected and logged in? Here is my smb.conf:
    # Samba config file created using SWAT
    # from 192.168.2.3 (192.168.2.3)
    # Date: 2008/05/11 18:46:15

    As you can tell I'm pretty new to all this so you may have to dumb down your answers a little. Thanks for the help.

    Yup.....repeatable!
    Delete mapped drive.
    Connect via USB
    Playbook shows in windows explorer as PlayBook [Pin: number] Y:  being the drive that XP has mapped it to.
    Then search for the PlayBook by ip address \\192.168.1.x
    It shows up under workgroup by its ip address
    Disconect USB cable
    Workgroup connect remains (via wifi)
    Strange to say the least.

  • Vista and Solaris 10, are they compatible?

    I have attempted to follow dual boot guides found everywhere, but none tailor specifically to (or eve mention) Vista. This is a problem, because Vista does not use the same method of boot as previous versions of NT.
    So far, in my many failed attempts at creating a Vista dual boot, I have experienced this:
    When I install Solaris 10 on any partition (Solaris installs correctly and works great), and then attempt to install Windows Vista, Vista says all of my partitions do not meet its requirements for installation (that the drive is NTFS and at least 12 GB is all it tells me). Even after formatting, deleting, recreating, and reformatting a drive, the drive is still unusable. Only after deleting ALL drives, including Solaris 10, and recreating and brand new first partition does Vista allow me to install. If I create a partition that Vista allows me to use, and also a partition to use with Solaris, and THEN install Solaris, the partition that Vista liked can no longer be used!
    When I install Windows Vista first (and it works fine) (which is what I tried first and reasoned is what I should be doing), and then install Solaris 10 on a partition (it installs correctlt and works great), I load up my computer and go into the GRUB bootloader. I can select Windows. However, when attempting to load windows, I get an error (in the Vista font by the way) that says my operating system cannot be loaded. When I load my Vista install disc, it cannot find any installations of windows, and it cannot repair the master boot record, saying something like the filesystem is corrupt. However, just as an experiment, I loaded Vista onto the former Solaris drive, and looked at my first partition. Every file was there, intact.
    I have attempted this with Windows Home Premium 32 bit, Windows Business 32 bit, and Vista Ultimate x64. I don't want to believe that it's impossible to load Vista and Solaris simultaneously, I've seen as much stating its impossibility as I've seen documents telling me how to do it (<- cold irony).
    As long as I can get AN INSTALLATION of Solaris 10 on my machine at the same time I have Vista able to boot, I'm fine, but I seem to have lost on all fronts.

    In Solaris Express, this is not an issue, according to this weblog:
    http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/solaris_vista_dual_boot_conclusion
    For versions of Solaris Express prior to buid 70, this method was described for creating a dual-boot with the oh-too-picky Windows Vista:
    http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/vista-and-solaris-express-dual-boot/
    I am going to assume that setting up a dual-boot with Solaris 10 is similar to, if not the same as, Solaris Express, since the only steps specific to Solaris are the files I copy from Solaris.
    I hope this helps anyone else with a problem similar to mine.

    Install Windows first, then Solaris {not the other way round}. When Solaris installer detects Windows installation and prompts you whether to preserve Windows partition, make sure to select 'preserve' option. I believe Solaris installer creates appropriate GRUB entries for Windows and Solaris. Even if it doesn't, you can always edit the GRUB menu after the installation is complete.
    Check the following web site if you need detailed instructions:

  • Installing 11i on Solaris and migrating 8.0.5 to new 8.1.6 database

    I've installed 11i (several times) on a new Sun solaris server. I also selected it to install a fresh database. On another server we have 11.0 and 8.0.5 database. We are using a new server to install 11i and we want to move our database over. I managed to transfer all database files over to the new server and upgrade to 8.1.6 (succeeded)
    How do I proceed now to get the 11i applications to use the database i've transferred over. Is this possible??? Can't find any clear documentation on how to merge this database into the applications 11i.
    Thanks

    Gina, I am attempting something similar... but it involves moving an exisiting installation from HP-UX to Solaris, so I cannot move the datafiles... If I run into a method that helps both of us, I will let you know... as of now, I am installing fresh on Solaris and going to try to run upgrade scripts on existing 10.7 and exp/imp into the new instance on 11i (Solaris).
    Let me know of anything you find out that could help me, and I will do the same...
    thanks

  • How do I install dual-boot Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on one hard disk ?

    I tried to install Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on same disk using CDs, but
    the second installation overwrote the first Solaris which was installed
    previoudly on the half-disk size partition of same disk.
    How do I install two Solarises on one hard disk ?
    Thanks

    There are no tricks to get Solaris to dual boot on the same drive. Just allocate and pick the free slices not used by the first Solaris install when you put in the second install. Technically speaking there is nothing preventing you from running seven separately bootable Solaris instances on the same drive (one of 8 available slices is overlap -- slice 2) provided you use a swap file on a root partition instead of reserving a whole slice for swap.

  • Dual boot windows 7 and solaris 11

    Hi Friends,
    Could some one please explain the steps to install dual boot windows 7 and solaris 11?
    Thanks

    Install Windows leaving a partition for Solaris.  Install Solaris into the empty partition.  Reboot.  Use a partition manager if you need to shrink your current Windows Partition.  GParted works great and is free.

  • Dual Boot Windows 7 and solaris 10

    Can some body guide me how to dual boot windows 7 and solaris 10?
    Thanks

    First partition your harddisk with at least 2 primary partitions, one for windows and the other for solaris if you only have one harddisk. It would be a good idea to create an additional small boot partition as the first partition as well if you intend on using an independent boot loader but it really depends on what your machine is capable of. For example, if you have multiple harddisk and your BIOS supports it, then you could just install each OS onto its own harddisk and use the BIOS function to disable/boot off specific harddisk. Otherwise, if you only have one harddisk and created multiple partitions, install windows7 first followed by solaris10, obviously installing into different partitions. If you have created a boot partition, then you can install the boot loader into that dedicated partition.

  • Dual Booting Windows and Solaris

    Thanks

    Hey I did a quick google search for you. So I havent tried this method myself but it sounds reasonable.
    The text below is from the following link:
    http://www.hccfl.edu/pollock/AUnix1/DualBoot.htm
    "Solaris boot loader
    Partition the drive to leave at least 2GB of space available for Solaris;
    more drive space is desirable.
    As with Linux, install Windows first then Solaris.
    Do not use the Installation CD but boot and install
    from Software CD 1.
    If you accept the default partitioning scheme which
    the installer provides you will soon run out of space in
    your / and /usr partitions since only enough space is
    allocated to install the system.
    All extra space is allocated to /export/home.
    A typical installation on a 4.5GB partition might look
    something like this:
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 900M 536M 310M 64% /
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s1 334M 109M 192M 36% /var
    swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /var/run
    swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /tmp
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s5 845M 222M 565M 29% /opt
    # (FAT32 partition):
    /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:1 5.0G 3.3G 1.6G 66% /c
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s7 1.1G 92M 954M 9% /export/home
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s4 752M 225M 474M 33% /usr/local
    The Solaris boot selector enables you to choose either
    Solaris or Windows with Solaris as the default.
    (I prefer grub or lilo!)
    To mount FAT under Solaris:
    # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c /dos (or �:1�?)
    And the vfstab file:
    /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c - /dos pcfs - yes -
    To create a GRUB boot floppy, follow these steps:
    $ mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0
    $ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0
    $ mkdir /mnt/fd0/boot /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
    $ cp /boot/grub/stage[12] /boot/grub/grub.conf \
    > /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
    $ /sbin/grub --batch <
    Hope this helps!
