Re: [Cppunit-devel] Building cppunit for Sun 5.0 and 6.0 compilers

[Baptiste L. <gai...@fr...>]

I've added the following to install-unix. Let me know if it is enough:


Solaris/Sun 6.0 compiler
------------------------

Sun 6.0 compiler requires the "-pta -instances=3Dstatic" options.

'make check' has been reported to fail to build, but 'make install' =
works.

  Thank you all for the helpful information.

  I was able to build cppunit for Sun 6.0 by adding the -pta and =
-instances=3Dstatic options.
  However, when I do a "make check" it starts printing "Output line too =
long." and I have to kill it after a while.
  But after doing a "make install" I am able to use the cppunit library, =
so it seems like it was able to build fine.

  Cppunit will not work with Sun 5.0 because Sun 5.0 doesn't support =
member templates.

  Thanks,

      Magne,

      I do think 6.0 supports templates

      You might want to try use different options for CC, I've seen this =
kind of problem before. There is on option -instances ( extern static =
global ) Give it a try it might help. In a project I also had to use =
-pta ( equivalent to -template=3Dwholeclass ).
      I do remember what was the exact combination, hopefully it will =
trigger some memories here.

      Hope it Helps

    I concur with David, I checked my old configuration files and I have =
something like the following inside the configure.in
    if test "$CXX" =3D CC; then
    case "$target_os" in
    solaris*)
        CXXFLAGS=3D$CXXFLAGS" -pta"
        complex_lib=3D"-lcomplex"
        clean_list=3D"-r Templates.DB"
    ;;
    irix*)
        CXXFLAGS=3D$CXXFLAGS" -pta -n32 -64"
        complex_lib=3D"-lcomplex"
        clean_list=3D"-r Templates.DB ii_files"
    ;;
    esac

    The -pta is pretty much required when you generate a library.=20
