There are a few issues with building on Solaris (and UNIX in general, I
suppose).
1. on line 50686 of configure, I'm seeing some trouble:
lib=`echo ${lib}|sed -e s:${JAVA_HOME}:\$\{JAVA_HOME\}:g`
Evidently, $lib contains colons which will confuse sed, so you can work around
this like:
lib=`echo ${lib}|sed -e s@${JAVA_HOME}@\$\{JAVA_HOME\}@g`
2. in various Makefiles, FRONTFILES is blank which causes the error:
syntax error at line 1 : `;' unexpected
FRONTFILES is only necessary in one Makefile:
src/library/stats/Makefile
Therefore, adding the following in that file:
.PHONY: frontfiles
frontfiles:
@for f in $(FRONTFILES); do \
if test -f $(srcdir)/$${f}; then \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/$${f} \
$(top_builddir)/library/$(pkg); \
fi; \
done
with the associated change of front to frontfiles a few lines above. And
changing:
share/make/basepkg.mk
as follows:
front:
# @for f in $(FRONTFILES); do \
# if test -f $(srcdir)/$${f}; then \
# $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/$${f} \
# $(top_builddir)/library/$(pkg); \
# fi; \
# done
fixes that problem.
3. If you try to configure after a make distclean, I get the error:
config.status: error: cannot find input file: etc/Makefile.in
You can workaround this, by starting all over with a fresh unpacking of that
tgzball.
