Manduba should run a GNOME buildbot slave in order to help tinderbox the GNOME code, linked to http://build.gnome.org/ TableOfContents

Running configuration

Manduba is running SunOS manduba 5.11 snv_101 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise Solaris

The buildbot runs as user 'buildbot' from /space/buildbot/

See http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/build_sw_on_solaris.html and http://wikis.sun.com/display/SolarisDeveloper/Issues+When+Porting+Open+Source+Projects+to+Solaris for general advice.

There are compiler-specific options in .jhbuildrc-suncc and .jhbuildrc-gcc, which get imported using the JHBUILD_CC environment variable. This is because jhbuild buildbot doesn't support the --file argument (although it might support JHBUILDRC, rendering the cleverness above unnecessary):

There are a few CSW packages (blastwave.org) installed - git 1.6 as SXCE only has 1.5, and doxygen is installed for libsigc++2.

GNU MP (in the bootstrap moduleset) builds 64-bit libraries by default, which then cannot be linked against the 32-bit binaries that the toolchain produces for EVERYTHING ELSE. This makes guile fail to configure. There is a module_autogenargs setting to override this (module_extra_env didn't seem to work).

There are sometimes spurious warnings "'variable' might be used uninitialized in this function" which become fatal thanks to -Werror that some modules enable when being built from version control. This is because we're using gcc 3.4 which has poor logic compared to more recent versions, so rather than wasting maintainers' time, just silence the warnings by putting -Wno-uninitialized in CFLAGS.

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/jds/spec-files/trunk/ may contain useful patches that should be pushed upstream.

Configuration procedure

Part 1: Configure jhbuild

http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild

manduba: ~> mkdir -p ~/checkout/gnome2
manduba: ~> cd ~/checkout/gnome2
manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2> svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/jhbuild/trunk jhbuild
manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2> cd jhbuild
manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2/jhbuild> gmake -f Makefile.plain install-check CFLAGS='-DWITH_INSTALL=\"/usr/ucb/install\"'

(see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364465)

manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2/jhbuild> gmake -f Makefile.plain
manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2/jhbuild> gmake -f Makefile.plain install

Create ~/.jhbuildrc as above.

To pick up standard version of gettext, libtool, automake-1.{4,7,8,9,10}, pkg-config, python, guile and waf,

manduba: ~> jhbuild bootstrap --ignore-system

Building gettext-0.17 on Solaris requires special arguments: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?21604 which are added to jhbuild above. However, using the bootstrap version fixes errors on Solaris with "AM_NLS" Automake macros (the system gettext doesn't have them).

Part 2: Configure buildbot

http://live.gnome.org/BuildBrigade/DocsAndGuides

jhbuild bot --setup

(more to come)

Current Issues

$/!\$ Current issues:

No SSL CA certs for wget, meaning Mozilla packages have to be manually downloaded
PolicyKit doesn't configure because when checking for PAM it tries to pass -l,as-needed which isn't supported by Solaris' ld(1). It also assumes that if using GCC, you're using GNU ld, which is not the case. Search configure.in for 'as-needed' to see the check. Filed as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20060 (hacks are in place to work around this, but the make fails later. Needs more investigation.)
A bunch of modules fail to build with 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"

This is apparently caused by [http://wiki.netbsd.se/Typical_pkgsrc_error_messages#Compiler_or_options_invalid_for_pre-UNIX_03_X.2FOpen_applications__and_pre-2001_POSIX_applications the -std=gnu99 flag] or the USE_LANGUAGES=c99 option in Makefiles. There is a patch for Python that fixes this: http://bugs.python.org/issue1759169 Affected packages are:
- dbus-python
- pycairo
- pyorbit
- gtk-vnc

metacity fails with the related error reported in [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582739 bug 582739]

/usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h:357:2: #error "Compiler or options invalid; UNIX 03 and POSIX.1-2001 applications require the use of c99"

libproxy is [http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/jds/spec-files/trunk/patches/libproxy-05-config-posix.diff patched by Sun] to remove -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=1; see http://code.google.com/p/libproxy/issues/detail?id=45 for a committed patch, waiting for a new release.

PulseAudio doesn't configure - dies with

checking for gdbm_open in -lgdbm... no
checking gdbm.h usability... no
checking gdbm.h presence... no
checking for gdbm.h... no
configure: error: gdbm.h not found

This is because gdbm is not available as a SUNW package or in buildbot (only by CSW). Filed as http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/493 - patching looks reasonably simple because use is confined to a single file.

libdaemon doesn't build because of a reference to _NSIG (instead of NSIG) in dfork.c - this is fixed in HEAD but not 0.13.
cairo 1.8.6 creates a messed up libtool:

/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..  -I. -I/space/buildbot/prefix/include/pixman-1       -I/usr/include/freetype2   -I/space/buildbot/prefix//include   -I/usr/include/libpng12   -D_REENTRANT -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -I/usr/X11/include   -D_REENTRANT -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -I/usr/X11/include     -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Wpacked -Wswitch-enum -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -Winit-self -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-long-long -Winline -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2              -g -O2 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -MT cairo-atomic.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/cairo-atomic.Tpo -c -o cairo-atomic.lo cairo-atomic.c

...

each error occurs four times, and there's many more errors on line 1156. Copying the libtool from 1.8.4 works, but it'll be overwritten whenever autogen.sh is run. Needs futher investigation.
clutter-cairo could use a dependency on clutter, otherwise configure fails.
dbus 1.2.12 dies in configure ([https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21545 freedesktop bug 21545]):

gbacktrace.h including signal.h without also sys/select.h is the proximate cause. I suspect this is also fixable with the right -std= flag (ala the Compiler or options error above) or defining __XOPEN_OR_POSIX and (_XPG42 or _XPG6). Currently fixed with a local patch to gbacktrace.h in glib see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562334 .

gnome-vfs fails to build because krb5-config doesn't like gssapi, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395357 for workaround patch used.

because unix.mak puts -xO3 in CFLAGS on Solaris even when using GCC ([https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2794207&group_id=204472&atid=989748 SourceForge bug 2794207]). It also needs environ declared: [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2794209&group_id=204472&atid=989748 SourceForge bug 2794209].
opal also sets -xO3 when using thanks to opal.m4 ([https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2795159&group_id=204472&atid=989748 SourceForge bug 2795159]).

system-tools-backends doesn't compile because Net-DBus' Makefile.PL unconditionally adds -Wall to CFLAGS which breaks because the system perl is compiled with Sun Studio.

libgda doesn't build due to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576417 but this is worked around by disabling MySQL.
libvolume_id wants sys/inotify.h for inotify, which doesn't exist on anything except Linux. Perhaps see what the FreeBSD guys have done?
gamin wants FAM, which doesn't exist on Solaris. Sun have [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491319 submitted a patch to use FEN] but no-one cares (gamin is unmaintained?)
Fixing bugs in the PulseAudio HEAD requires libtool 2.2 or greater. guile will not build with libtool greater than 1.5.6. Yay. And make sure you do 'make uninstall' in the libtool2.2 directory before reinstall 1.5.6, otherwise random stuff breaks.
gtk+ tries to install manpages even when they're not built, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578765 for patch
gvfs needs CFLAGS="-D_XPG4_2" to make CMSG_SPACE in <sys/socket.h> visible. Taken from http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/jds/spec-files/trunk/SUNWgnome-gvfs.spec
libnice also needs -D_XPG4_2 in CFLAGS for CMSG_SPACE, and a AC_SEARCH_LIBS([socket],[socket inet]) in configure.ac, but also needs a newer libtool so testing this is a pain.

gstreamer has a .po file that segfaults /usr/bin/gmsgfmt, but works with the older /opt/csw/bin/gmsgfmt (now symlinked in ~/bin) which reports:

/opt/csw/bin/gmsgfmt -c --statistics -o eu.gmo eu.po
/opt/csw/bin/gmsgfmt: eu.po: warning: PO file header fuzzy
                             warning: older versions of msgfmt will give an error on this

however this older gmsgfmt fails on gtk+, so the symlink has been removed for the moment.
zenity fails with a linking error because it uses X functions without -lX11 (this works on Linux because gtk+ links to X11, but Solaris is stricter). Already reported as [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559638 bug 559638].
gnome-session has a similar problem, but with Xext functions and -lXext ([http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583618 bug 583618]).
Cheese fails because it needs HAL >= 0.5.9 but SXCE b101 only has HAL 0.5.8.
WebKit needs icu-config, which will come when Sun integrates [http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2009/129/ PSARC/2009/129] - keep an eye on http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/ for this.
gnome-control-center thinks it has a libslab directory, but there isn't one in the [http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-control-center/tree/ git repository], [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583158 bug 583158]. See discussion on [http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnomecc-list/2009-April/msg00002.html gnomecc-list].
gdm fails to build becase HOST_NAME_MAX doesn't exist on Solaris - already reported as [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580676 bug 580676].
pygtksourceview's autogen.sh has a GNU find predicate that's no longer needed since conversion from CVS ([http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583217 bug 583217]).
seahorse-plugins needs gpgme - the version from Blastwave can't be used as it has its own libgpg-error that conflicts with the jhbuilt version.

Compiling with Sun Studio

[http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/ Sun Studio 12] is preferentially used by Sun for compiling GNOME in Solaris, and provides another layer of error detection, e.g. void functions that return values. It's installed into /opt/SUNWspro and /opt/SUNWspro/bin is added to PATH.

Skip guile in the bootstrap as it doesn't compile and isn't used by much; Sun don't even ship it:

manduba: ~> JHBUILD_CC=suncc jhbuild bootstrap --skip guile --ignore-system

Issues only affecting Sun Studio

glib fails becaues g_socket_control_message_serialize in gio/gsocketcontrolmessage.c is defined as void but returns a value ([http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583408 bug 583408])
