[hobbit] Problem building Hobbit on a Solaris 10 zone
Hi, Thanks to everyone who replied. Sorry for the slow response - I locked myself out of email for a couple of days.
To respond to the postings:
It looks like permissions problems on the directories to me.[Jim Smith} That's what I thought, but I went the whole "recursive 777" hog and it made no difference.
I will create a version of hobbit server package for sparc... [T. J. Yang] That would be great - I could stop worrying :-)
Is this a sparse root or a whole root zone? ... [Katherine Hosch]. It was originally sparse root, and I had the same thoughts,so I rebuilt the zone as whole root.
I have just reconfigured/recompiled Hobbit 4.2.0 within a Solaris 10 zone... (Intel) [Martin Ward] Good to know - thanks.
Since it looks like ./configure is complaining you could have a look in ~/hobbit-4.2.0/bbnet/c-ares/config.log file [Martin Ward] I did have a look at this log file, and it didn't help me, but I have extracted some of the information and added it below, in case that helps anybody understand my problem.
I have just built a test Hobbit server in a Solaris zone... (sparc) [Vernon Everett] Even better to know :-) - thanks
isn't it possible for the local zones to lack packages that exist in the global zone? [Ben August] You're not that rusty - you are quite right. However, in this instance I believe all the packages from the global zone were successfully installed in the non-global zone, apart from two relating to zone management (which aren't meant to install in non-global zones because they aren't appropriate).
Many thanks - this is an excellent mailing list. Lots of quick responses, and all relevant - superb.
Here is some of the information from the ~/hobbit-4.2.0/bbnet/c-ares/config.log file as suggested by Martin Ward. It looks to me like a repeat of the error messages posted earlier, and I can't see any more useful clues, but perhaps that's just me:
configure:2272: gcc --version </dev/null >&5 job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory gcc (GCC) 3.4.6
and so it repeats.
Cheers,
JohnI've built many clients in Solaris 10 zones, have not tried a server. I can't recall exactly what the trouble was but I have a faint memory of building something, apache php or mysql in a zone and having some odd troubles with the redirection to /dev/null. You could try to edit configure and send that to a flat file in /var/tmp or somewhere.
configure:2272: gcc --version </dev/null >&5
John,
I just built hobbit on a sparc (whole root) container, using the gcc that is part of the full Solaris install (/usr/sfw/bin/gcc). However, there are several package prerequisites that I had to install, all available from sunfreeware.com :
make (gnu make)
fping
rrdtool
pcreOnce that is all there you should be able to run "./configure --server" and then "make" (make sure it is the make in /usr/local/bin - gmake).
The error message indicates that you have moved the parent directory or something like that.
