This page should list issues encountered when building particular packages using PKGSRC on Solaris and the needed workarounds. Always make note of the exact package versions.

Problem: The following:

ld: fatal: symbol `my_long_options' in file mysqltest.o: section [3] .data: size 4616: symbol (address 0x10a0, size 2880) lies outside of containing section
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to .libs/mysqltest
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[2]: *** [mysqltest] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/pkgsrc/databases/mysql5-client/work/mysql-5.0.45/client'
gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/pkgsrc/databases/mysql5-client/work/mysql-5.0.45'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2
*** Error code 2

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /opt/pkgsrc/databases/mysql5-client
*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /opt/pkgsrc/databases/mysql5-client

Fix:

Download this file to your Accelerator (current directory, doesn’t matter), then run:

ksh -f values.c 

Problem: The configure part ends with

checking for U8T_CANONICAL... no
configure: error: utf8_mime2text() has new signature, but U8T_CANONICAL is missing. This should not happen. Check config.log for additional information.

Workaround:

cp ../imap-uw/work/imap-2006j/c-client/dummy.h ./work/.buildlink/include/c-client/

Assumes you have not run ‘bmake clean’ on mail/imap-uw yet, and are in the package directory of mail/php-imap.

Installing git doesn’t work out of the box. It depends on tk, which seems to want X stuff installed, but X ain’t installed on the accelerators. Boo!

Also, you might get this error:

/usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h:353:2: #error "Compiler or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open applications         and pre-2001 POSIX applications"

If so, edit the Makefile and comment out the LANGUAGE=c99 bit. Then do a bmake clean && bmake.

I’m (Joe Van Dyk) am working on getting a version of pkgsrc available via git that has these problems fixed. See http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=17568 for details.

There’s various problems with this package. Not sure what to do.

Problem - building fails with

Solution - edit Makefile and replace this:

CFLAGS+=               -DUINT32_TYPE=u_int32_t -DUINT16_TYPE=u_int16_t \
                       -DUINT8_TYPE=u_int8_t -DINTPTR_TYPE=long

with

CFLAGS+=               -DINTPTR_TYPE=long
