Tclkit Solaris notes

2004-12-18 - Comment by Steve Landers

when building the 8.5a2 release, a problem with "U" pops up in the configure script
the workaround is to apply patch 1081541 - a copy can be found here [1]

2003-02-21 - LV writes, about the new genkit setup:

Note that I have built the test suite against Solaris 8. I use the following ksh script to do so:

  export CC=gcc
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris8/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  cp tars/genkit .
  chmod u+x genkit
  tclsh ./genkit A
  tclsh ./genkit B tcl
  sh ./genkit B
  sh ./genkit C
  sh ./genkit D
  DISPLAY=:0 sh ./genkit D
  sh ./genkit E

(the chmod seems redundant)

built with genkit on Solaris 5.7 (both x86 and sparc)
these builds require shared libs, and should run on 5.8 as well
