Anyone have luck with gnu make in a solaris 8 container?

global zone running solaris 10 05/08 (480 hw). got a solaris 8 zone up (flash arcive of one of our solaris 8 systems, NICE!!!). got most items working, except i have probs with gmake (gnu make), any version. ive tried older-current, built from src, and binary packages. all have the same prob.
gmake: *** wait: Error 0. Stop.
gmake: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
truss (from inside the sol8 zone)
20050: llseek(0, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 952421
20050: _exit(0)
20049: Received signal #18, SIGCLD, in wait() [caught]
20049: siginfo: SIGCLD CLD_EXITED pid=20050 status=0x0000
20049: wait()
havent tried dtrace yet from the global zone. am i missing some type of privilege outside of the default ones? i can compile and build most open src items with the system make, however we have our own products we build with gnu make.

agreed. though in this solaris 8 zone, i have built openssh, openssl, openldap, mit krb5, sudo, various other gnu utils, and a few more open src projs and all seem to work just fine. test programs ran ok, and i connect via sshd (5.0p1+hpn). we are an isv, and i have had some of our folks run our prods through a bit and so far all those have been ok as well. we are going to run oracle in this env shortly as well as stress test with our prods.
it would be interesting to see what some of the sun folks have to say. with your change to job.c, i was able to run all the make checks, and have used gmake to build a few projects as well. i probably will see what gmake can do building gcc with -j4.
very nice find by the way. hope this does raise a few flags with sun as to why this change would be needed.

Serious problem with Xcode 4.3.2 - no GNU make

There is a SERIOUS problem with Xcode 4.3.2. I just installed it and when I click the downloaded package I jsut get a Xcode.app.
No longer does it allow me to install packages.
Instead I get nothing but an Xcode.app to drag and drop into /Applications.
More terrible is the fact that it no longer ships with GNU make. Which means nothing inside of the MacPort project will work anymore.
For example:
bash-3.2$ sudo port install make
bash-3.2$ sudo port install gimp
Warning: The Command Line Tools for Xcode don't appear to be installed; most ports will likely fail to build.
Warning: See http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.xcode.html for more information.
---> Computing dependencies for gimpError: Unable to execute port: can't read "build.cmd": Failed to locate 'make' in path: '/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin' or at its MacPorts configuration time location, did you move it?
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

The command line tools need to be installed separately.
Go to Xcode->Preferences->Downloads
Which is what the error message you got and the link it pointed to is teling you.

Creating .out with GNU Make for VxWorks targets

Hi
I would like to know how to compile .out files for VxWorks using GNU Make. I have found the redistributable GNU tool chain attached to the website below but I do not know how to run the setup-gcc.bat file. Could anyone tell me the steps from the beginning (extracting the files, folder directory, what things I need to change, etc)??
Thank you & Regards

You are unlikely to get an answer here. Your better option would be the real-time board, but even there I doubt you will find many people with experience in this type of thing. That tutorial seems pretty detailed, so if your problem is with the MAKE part, I suggest you try searching in the relevant forums, as more people here would only know LabVIEW.

GNU make ignores the PATH variable

I just want to restate what was said in this post (that is now archived):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2144085
I have the exact same problem. The PATH variable is not taken into account when running simple commands in a makefile. If I change the command to something just a little more complex, like "echo hello && command" it works. So it seems to be an optimisation problem.
I am running GNU Make 3.81 on Mac OS X 10.6.4.

[SOLVED] Makepkg makes qmake or make act weird and causes trouble

I am trying to build an Arch package from a Qt app. The app is split into some libraries that are compiled with the main application. Installation instruction for the whole app are defined in src.pro (see the hierarchy below), which are then written into the Makefiles that are generated on-the-fly during the build process. When I run 'qmake && make && make install' manually, everything goes fine. But when I try to build the package using a PKGBUILD, for some reason the Makefile generated based on the src.pro is missing installation instruction for the libraries (lib1, lib2, etc.).
I don't really have any idea of what is the problem. I tried to study the output of the make process and it seems like that when running makepkg, qmake first runs on each subdirectory to generate the Makefiles and only then begins the actual build process. Manually running make first builds one directory, then the second one and so on and only generates a Makefile when entering a directory. Since the libraries marked for installation do not exist in the beginning of the build process, they are not put into the Makefile at all, I think.
My first idea for a solution was to move the installation instructions into the libraries' own .pro files but that didn't seem to change anything. The build() process in the makepkg only runs qmake, make and make install - what I also do manually.
The directory structure of the project is like this:
project/
project.pro
src/
src.pro
lib1/
lib1.pro
lib2/
lib2.pro

After many hours I finally came up with a solution that was too easy... I only needed an "install.pri" file in which I added two lines:
target.path = /path/
INSTALLS += target
Next I just included that file into each lib's .pro file and now the makepkg process works. "target" is somewhat a magical variable for qmake.
I consider this solved.

[Solved]using 'make oldconfig'

Hi, I'm running my own kernel (mainline) , when rebuild, I use this order:
sudo /usr/bin/modprobed-db recall
make localmodconfig
make oldconfig
make nconfig
Now I come to the conclusion, things ain't the way I think they supposed to be.
When F.I. ISDN support was removed from the previous kernel, shouldn't this be left out using 'make oldconfig'?
Because every time I edit the config with nconfig, these things are still present, and I remove them , again.
Now, I'm sure this ain't how it's supposed to be , am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks qinohe

Does this `modprobe` a list of modules? It's probably unnecessary, as you can:
make LSMOD=<insert path to file> localmodconfig
where file contains a list of modules, or is an executable that outputs such a list.
Ah, that's a nice one, gonna use it. Yes, it's Modprobed-db, a tool that keeps track off all modules ever used on the system, I could uninstall it, I know all modules, and can add one to the list myself if necessary.
Depends on what your ".config" file looks like at the time you run `make oldconfig`.
Probably not the edited config, but the new one.
Do you have the file ".config" in the directory when you run `make localmodconfig`? If so, did you remember to update the file from which this file is copied? Alternatively, you can bypass creating ".config" before `make localmodconfig`, in which case /proc/config.gz will be used as a base.
A new one is in 'src' but not in the the 'build dir. Should I copy the old config to it?
I need to create me a nice work flow for this, gonna try a few sequences, and check which is the best for me to use, thanks.
edit:adding this line before- solved it all,
zcat /proc/config.gz > ~/builds/abs/core/linux/src/${_srcname}/.config
Thanks again lolilolicon

[Solved] How make to work League of Legends on Arch x64?

Hello,
I was trying to install LoL by using PlayOnLinux. The wiki describes it as "the easiest method." ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … nux_Method ).
Unfortunately I cannot figure this out. I installed LoL just fine, I updated it, but when I'm clicking "Play" button, then I'm getting exception:
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00001ff0 at address 0x1ff0 (thread 0043), starting debugger...
I was trying different wine versions without luck. It's hard to find anything useful about this by using google.
Anyone have any idea how to make it to work with playonlinux?

@luken trial-and-error method using speaker-test I would argue. Usually it should copy the front jack signal. Here are just a few:
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D dmix:0,0
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D dmix:0,1
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D dmix:0,2
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D dmix:1,0
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D dmix:1,1
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D dmix:1,2
# Depending on your setup, it might be necessary to use 8 channels with -c 8.
# Or in script form
MX=2;MY=3;
for X in $(seq 0 $MX); do for Y in $(seq 0 $MY); do speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D dmix:$X,$Y; done; done
Should this not work, then you may want to look at hdajackretask from alsa-tools package and copy the front jack to the headphone one or disable jack sensing.

You are welcome.
@Kobibr I fail to see what a tutorial and patch for wine for textures has to do with this thread. It is nice to see people getting involved though.

[solved] Window Maker

I installed Window Maker. According to the Window Maker archwiki I created a GNUstep directory in my home directory and added 'export GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT="~/GNUstep"' to .baschrc. When I run the Window Maker settings installation program (wmaker.inst) I get the following message:
Installing WindowMaker 0.95.4 for current user...
Directory specified in GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT environment variable does not exist
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

To possibly help other folks I found that placing this

in ~/.bashrc worked for me. Whereas the line given in the guide
export GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT="~/GNUstep"
did not.
I think it was me that put that in the wiki. I do remember something about "~" not working for something, but I'm surprised the above didn't work. I mean, it should be exactly the same...
Although I don't use Window Maker at the moment, I just did a quick test: It should work without quotation marks:
export GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT=~/GNUstep
I'll go ahead and make that small change to the wiki. Feel free to make any other changes.
I did give windowmaker-git a quick try last night. It appears that, in the future, you won't need to set any variables yourself. Which is kind of odd, because I didn't have to set any variable myself back when I used Window Maker in 2001.
EDIT: Even better, this should work:
export GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT="${HOME}/GNUstep"

[solved] apophenia: make succeeds, makepkg fails

Hello! I tried to write a PKGBUILD for a statistics library called apophenia (http://apophenia.info/). I can './configure && make' in the source directory without any problems, but when I run makepkg the build fails with the following error:

Note that the library author included the file asprintf.c in the source, but an arch system should already have this in stdlib or something, right? Anyway, here is the PKGBUILD. I'm compiling on an x86_64 machine, by the way.

[Solved] I make mistake, switch /etc/fonts/conf.d of ubuntu to my arch

Arch's fonts was too small in firefox and sites was difficult to read and with layout wrong because of font, then I switch the fonts config of ubuntu to my arch to fix this problem and I solve, otherwise now I receive errors in terminal when I perform a program like this: Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf", line 17: invalid constant used : legacy".
somebody can help me?
sorry by bad english.
Last edited by solanoalves (2008-01-23 04:08:29)

A good idea would be to post that file.
An alternative would be to remove the contents of /etc/fonts/conf.d and reinstall the fontconfig package. Then follow the instructions in the wiki to get a better font rendering.
Good luck

[Solved] Need 'make' command to install nic driver - can I d/l to usb?

I have a Linhes box running archlinux. The pc has a realtek driver that does not work. I have the updated driver that will work but as I have no internet access on the pc I need to install the driver from a usb stick. However, I cannot run the 'make' command because it is not installed. I cannot install anything from pacman because I have no internet access. So my question is can I download whatever I need (base-devel?) from another pc and install it through a usb stick so that I can then install the realtek driver?

Use the "Download from mirror" link on http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/make/ (change the version to x86_64 if needed by following the link below "Download from mirror") and pacman -U that package on the destination pc.
Thanks, that looks like just what I need. Can you confirm that I do not extract the package, I just put it on to the usb and then as root pacman -U /path/to/package?

[Solved]GNU replacement for Adobe InDesign

Since Adobe's software is so bloated, I plan to use ArchLinux for everything and use Windows exclusively for gaming (and video editing if cinerella is not adequate). I use Adobe InDesign a little bit and I was wondering what I could use in place of it.

[Solved]GNU GRUB 1.99 just sits there

It just sits there and doesn't auto start unless I choose a boot option, I have no idea where to look to fix it either. I can either select Arch or the backup, no matter how long I let it sit there, I can hit enter and then it goes through the boot up, it is not game breaking, but the point of the system is mainly to be used remotely. If for any reason I reboot it, I need to go to it and attach a keyboard to press enter and continue. Any thoughts?
EDIT:
Fixed it by using regular parted and then regular grub instead of 2.

It flashed welcome to grub and then immediately went to black, so now I can't access the system at all.

[SOLVED] GNU Screen - sessions always dead after restart

I recently started using GNU screen. I'm able to detach and reattach sessions normally, except after a restart. Then any detached sessions are marked as dead and all I can do is run a screen -wipe. My sessions are stored in ~/.screen.
I've searched the web and forums but no one seems to have had this problem.
Any ideas? Screen's a lot less useful if I can't reattach after restarting.

This is sort of related, but sometimes it is possible to use special software to suspend an application as a file, which could possibly be set up with screen to provide a rebootable state. However this software seems to be fairly hard to find and get working well enough to be usable. If you want to investigate more, you can probably google for something like "linux application freezing" or "linux application checkpointing".
Actually I just found the software I was thinking of as I'm typing this, http://cryopid.berlios.de/. The page doesn't seem to be loading for me, but I think I have used this in the past with limited success. Not sure if it up to date with the latest kernels however.
