[Quickfix-users] solaris 8 SIGSEV

[Guido L. <gui...@in...>]

hi list,

i'm trying to use quickfix on solaris 8(sparc) but i have encoutered many
problems:
i can build version 1.9.0(with gnu-gcc and all dependancies listed on the
INSTALL doc as the latest version found at sunfreeware.com) but all the
binary received a SIGSEV from the system, here is the output of the ut
test:

root@ssfdb # ./ut -p 1025
<ut>
  <output>
Segmentation Fault - core dumped

And here is the ending part of a strace:

ioctl(1, TCGETA, 0xFFBE6F8C)                    = 0
<ut>
write(1, " < u t >\n", 5)                       = 5
  <output>
write(1, "     < o u t p u t >\n", 11)          = 11
open("/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/MET", O_RDONLY)   = 3
read(3, " T Z i f\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0".., 8192)     = 755
close(3)                                        = 0
brk(0x00283660)                                 = 0
brk(0x00285660)                                 = 0
sigaction(SIGPIPE, 0xFFBE7010, 0x00000000)      = 0
brk(0x00285660)                                 = 0
brk(0x00289660)                                 = 0
    Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS  %pc = 0xFF3172A4
      siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0xFFFFFFF4
    Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default]
      siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0xFFFFFFF4
        *** process killed ***

has anyone experienced similar problem, or can anyone use quickfix on
solaris without problems?

1.9.2 build but on my system but say:

After stracing and debugging(with gdb) with no results(my c and unix
internals skills are not enough) i tried to compile 1.9.2 on linux and
found another problem.  Dependencies on INSTALL docs does not specify a
gcc version to use, so i try with a RedHat AES 2.1 that comes with gcc
2.96 but it wont compile saying:

In file included from ../Field.h:32,
                 from FieldBaseTestCase.h:26,
                 from FieldBaseTestCase.cpp:27:
../FieldConvertors.h:32:18: limits: No such file or directory

note that i can find a *ulimits* include for C++ on my system(that seem
something like a forward on the C limits.h)or a *limits.h* include for
plain C.

After all i try with a version of SuSE that comes with gcc3 and it
magically works!! ...but unfortunately i can't use SuSE for doing that
work.


any hints or help would be appreciated!

p.s.
excuse me but my english is poor as you can see!
