[Quickfix-developers] QuickFIX on Solaris / Forte 5.3 / Roguewave

[Peterson, K. <kri...@rb...>]

Hello,

I have been developing a FIX 4.2 connection to an executing broker using Qu=
ickFIX 1.7.1. As our trading system runs on Solaris/SPARC and is built with=
 SunPRO 5.3 C++ and Roguewave, this has made for an interesting build envir=
onment for building QuickFIX.

I have built QuickFIX on Solaris with GCC 3.4.0, SunPRO 5.3 w/shipped STL a=
nd SunPRO 5.3 w/separate Roguewave STL. All of the builds required edits to=
 configure and Makefile.in files (I did not change autoconf files as I don'=
t have the tools), and the SunPRO 3.3 builds required substantial changes t=
o source files as well.

I'd like to know if anyone else has had any experiences using QuickFIX on S=
olaris and would like to share them. If all goes well, we'd like to use Qui=
ckFIX elsewhere and improve QuickFIX's support for Solaris so that it will =
work out of the box (or tarball as it were).

If there is interest, I would be happy to provide details of what we've don=
e to get QuickFIX working.

Regards,

- Kris

Sounds good. So far we have no SunPRO setup for QF as far as I know.

Would be nice to have some tests to detect the compiler/build 
environment. BTW, you can download Solaris packages for the autotools.

Great! This would be the 2nd binary package for QF. Maybe the native Sun 
compiler generates faster code instead of GCC (Do you have any benchmarks?).

Yes, please contribute. We will give you support with the autotools as 
good as we can.

Cheers, Jörg
