Re: [X10-developers] Support for Solaris?

[Richard G. <rgo...@ya...>]

Hi Igor,

My platform is not sunos_sparc but sunos_x86. I suppose I will not be 
able make use of the files you deployed.

Anyway, below you can see the changes I've done.
I'm attaching the referenced files for your information.


1. ./x10.runtime.17/build.xml

I'm using gcc toolchain instead of Sun toolchain, so I changed make by 
gmake.
    <property name="make.exe" value="gmake"/>


2. ./x10.runtime.17/src-cpp/Makefile
Still due to gcc toolchain, I had to change find by gfind and xargs by 
gxargs.
XARGS=gxargs
FIND=gfind
... and wherever these equivalences are used.



3. When I tried to build...

export LOCAL_POLYGLOT_JAR=../polyglot/lib/polyglot-epl.jar
cd polyglot && ant clobber eclipse-plugin-jar


... works fine but ...


cd x10.dist && ant distclean dist

... does not like my platform :( as you ca see below:

gen-xrx:
     [echo] Building Java sources for XRX
     [echo] x10c -c Dummy.x10 x10/array/BaseArray.x10 
x10/array/BaseDist.x10 x10/array/BaseRegion.x10 x10/array/DistArray.x10 
x10/array/EmptyRegion.x10 x10/array/FastArray.x10 
x10/array/FullRegion.x10 x10/array/Layout.x10
... a bunch of others ...
x10/util/concurrent/atomic/AtomicInteger.x10 
x10/util/concurrent/atomic/AtomicLong.x10 
x10/util/concurrent/atomic/AtomicReference.x10 
x10/util/concurrent/atomic/Fences.x10
     [exec] Unrecognized platform: 'SunOS,i86pc,i386'

Notice: I haven't even downloaded the file you uploaded because the 
platforms dont match and I havent defined X10LIB environment variable.

Regards

Richard Gomes
