[Libexplain-users] Issues of 0.52D002 on Solaris

[Dagobert M. <da...@op...>]

Hi,

I have some problems compiling the latest version on Solaris 9 Sparc with Sun Studio.

This patch makes it compile:
  http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/libexplain/trunk/files/0001-Solaris-fixes.patch?rev=17880

However, some things should better be checked during configure time instead of
just disabling it. In detail the following problems occurred:
- SHM_REMAP is not known on Solaris 9
- In the datastructure ipc_perm the members are named "key" and "seq" instead of "__key" and "__seq"
- Although Solaris does have /usr/include/sys/shm.h there is no structure shm_info defined (but shminfo)
- The shminfo structure does not contain members named "shmmin", "shmseg" and "shmall"
- SHM_INFO is not defined on Solaris

It would be nice if you could detect this in the next release.


Best regards
