Hi,
Following is a list of problems and solutions I discovered while
builing clearsilver on solaris 10 using gcc version 3.4.3 and
configured as:

./configure --prefix=/opt/clearsilver
--x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib
--enable-remote-debugger --with-apache=/opt/csw/apache
--with-python=/usr/sfw/bin/python --with-perl=/opt/csw/bin/perl
--disable-ruby --with-java=/opt/jdk/jdk1.5.0_04 --disable-csharp
--enable-gettext

I could find solutions to some problems and am documenting them here
in the hope that (i) somebody can tell me what I did wrong to
encounter so many errors and/or (ii) it is useful to someone.

However, I could not solve problem i) maybe because it is pretty late
in the night - any help is gladly appreciated...

Thanks,
~Madhu.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
a) configures fine, but make quits with following error:
> *******************************************
> ** Building Dependencies
> ** OSNAME: SunOS
> *.c: No such file or directory
> make: *** [Makefile.depends] Error 2

error also referenced in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ClearSilver/message/352 and
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ClearSilver/message/273

Solution) rules.mk.in contains construct `ls -1 *.c` which cribs since
there is no *.c in the $(CLEARSILVER) dir. I just changed it to `find
. -name "*.c" -print`. Diff follows

$ diff rules.mk.in rules.mk.in.original
89d88
< FIND = /bin/find
145c144
< @for II in `$(FIND) . -name "*.c" -print`; do \
---
> @for II in `$(LS) -1 *.c`; do \

----------------------------------------------------------------------
b) This causes files in /util to be compiled successfully and
libs/libneo_utl.a is built. libs/libneo_cs.a is also built successfully.

c) Regression tests in cs fail with messages as
diff: illegal option -- brief
usage: diff [-bitw] [-c | -e | -f | -h | -n | -u] file1 file2
diff [-bitw] [-C number | -U number] file1 file2
diff [-bitw] [-D string] file1 file2
diff [-bitw] [-c | -e | -f | -h | -n | -u] [-l] [-r] [-s] [-S
name] directory1 directory2
Failed Regression Test: test.cs
See test.cs.out and test.cs.err

Solution: changed all occurences of "--brief" in cs/Makefile to "-brief"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
d) linking fails for static.cso with error messages as

gcc -shared -fPic -o static.cso static.o -L../libs/ -lneo_cgi -lneo_cs
-lneo_utl -lz
Text relocation remains referenced
against symbol offset in file
<unknown> 0x0
../libs//libneo_cgi.a(html.o)
<unknown> 0x4
../libs//libneo_cgi.a(html.o)
<unknown> 0x8
../libs//libneo_cgi.a(html.o)

and so on.

Solution: add -fPIC to CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS in rules.mk.in, cs/Makefile
and python/Makefile and changed all occurences of -fPic to -fPIC
----------------------------------------------------------------------
e) Fixes linking errors, but loads of warnings in compiling mod_ecs.so
follow

NOTE: THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY PYTHON INSTALLATION AND IN ALL
PROBABILITY IS NOT APPLICABLE TO YOU.

f) problem building in the python subdir.
$ gmake

Solution: None found!!! Hmm...following is what I tried
$ ggrep -R -r sgnome *
$ for i in `find . -name "*" -print`; do grep sgnome $i; done
$

the problem was with my python installation - not sure why.
reconfigured with --python=/opt/csw/bin/python and that was built fine.

Solution: changed CC to gcc and CFLAGS to -fPIC in perl/Makefile [This
could be a problem with my environmental variables- although I did
ensure that I unset CC, CXX, CPP, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and
LDFLAGS before I ran ./configure ]. Removed
-L/opt/forte8/SUNWspro/prod/lib from LDFLAGS and LDDFLAGS in
perl/Makefile since those are not valid directories on my machine.

h) now to the java-jni part

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/clearsilver-0.9.14/java-jni'
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `jni_md.h', needed by
`j_neo_util.o'. Stop.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/clearsilver-0.9.14/java-jni'

Solution: changed -I$(JAVA_PATH)/include/linux to
-I$(JAVA_PATH)/include/solaris in java-jni/Makefile since this is a
solaris m/c and java_md.h is in $(JAVA_PATH)/include/solaris.
