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

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 for general advice.

PATH=/space/buildbot/bin:/space/buildbot/prefix/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/ucs/ccs/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin: (from .zshenv) - make sure /usr/ucb is after /usr/ccs.

.jhbuildrc:

moduleset = 'gnome-suites-2.26'
checkoutroot = os.path.expanduser('~/checkout/gnome2')
prefix = '/space/buildbot/prefix/'
makeargs = '-j4'
module_autogenargs['gettext'] = autogenargs + ' LDFLAGS="-lsec"'
os.environ['INSTALL'] = os.path.expanduser('~/bin/install-check')

As CSW packages (blastwave.org/opencsw.org) are not part of the running path, there's a wrapper script in ~/bin/git:

PATH=/opt/csw/bin:$PATH
git $@

(git is also from opencsw while all other CSW packages come from Blastwave. Potential for interestingness.)

vte needs SUNWncurses installed.

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

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).

Current Issues

Current issues:

• git clone doesn't work. No idea why.
• No SSL CA certs for wget, meaning Mozilla packages have to be manually downloaded
• Guile doesn't build (from the bootstrap moduleset) - configure dies with

configure: error: GNU MP not found, see README

• 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

• 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. See the link for suggested fixes, although they're not really optimal.

• 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

• vte doesn't want to build. configure includes this:

configure: WARNING: term.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: term.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: term.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: term.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: term.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: term.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=vte ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------------------------------ ##

• and make dies with

gcc -I/space/buildbot/prefix/include/glib-2.0 -I/space/buildbot/prefix/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/space/buildbot/prefix/include/glib-2.0 -I/space/buildbot/prefix/lib/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Waggregate-return -Wcast-align -Wimplicit -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Wpacked -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wshadow -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -Winit-self -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -Wno-unused-parameter -fno-common -Wno-switch-enum -o slowcat slowcat.o  -L/space/buildbot/prefix/lib /space/buildbot/prefix/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /space/buildbot/prefix/lib/libglib-2.0.so -lncurses -lsocket -lm   -R/space/buildbot/prefix/lib -R/space/buildbot/prefix/lib
ld: fatal: library -lncurses: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to slowcat

• although adding -L/usr/gnu/lib fixes that error.

• clutter-cairo could use a dependency on clutter, otherwise configure fails.
• gtkspell needs aspell or pspell, neither of which appear to have Solaris packages.
• libxml2 installs python modules into the 2.4 site-packages directory, not the 2.5 directory (which is the version in bootstrap)
