patch for Ice-2.0.0 for gcc on Solaris.
Hello
I'm new to ICE and I wanted to build for Solaris using gnu compilers but I found out that by default it uses Sun C++ 5.4. So I have created some patches for GCC 3.4.1. Is there any chance of seeing them folded into the official sources so I don't have to this patching again next time? I edited the master makefiles to allow a general way to optionally use gnu compilers for any platform not just Solaris. To select gnu compilers you set a new variable `USE_GCC' in Make.rules that will cause it to select: Make.rules.<UNAME>-gcc I implemented a SunOS version `Make.rules.SunOS-gcc' for my purposes. Patches are attached. Thanks, -john Last edited by JohnB : 02-09-2005 at 06:59 PM. |

Hi John,
I am updating the build system (and INSTALL.SOLARIS) to add support for GCC 3.4.x (probably 3.4.2 since it's the version on www.sunfreeware.com) on Solaris 9. It will be in the 2.1 release (32bit only for now), but I don't know yet if it will become an officially supported OS/Compiler combination. I noticed in your patch that you updated the DB_FLAGS to: DB_FLAGS = -I$(DB_HOME)/include -DHAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS Why, since it's the first #define in <db_cxx.h>? Obviously you need to build Berkeley DB configured with --enable-cxx using the same C++ compiler as the one you use for Ice (or at least a compatible compiler) You also made some changes to IceXML and the Freeze backup demo ... could you provide more info? Thanks, Bernard |

> I noticed in your patch that you updated the DB_FLAGS to:
> DB_FLAGS = -I$(DB_HOME)/include -DHAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS That was a mistake that didn't pan out. When I discovered it I later went back to re-configure Berkeley DB with --enable-cxx as you suggested but then forget to remove it from DB_FLAGS. I removed the removed 'src/FreezeScript/DumpDB.o' and did test build. It worked fine so you're right it's not needed. > Why, since it's the first #define in <db_cxx.h>?

In particular `IceXML/Parser.cpp' was #including `expat.h' but the version I downloaded had `xmlparse.h' instead. I didn't want to just change the source so tried to come up with a way to allow it to work with both versions of expat. The expat I found with goggle search was: ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip If I need to get a different version of expat let me know. If this version is the correct one and if you decide to support both versions of expat then I can download the updated Makefiles and sources once you come up with a way to support it. What I did was put `-DICE_USE_XMLPARSEAPI' in Make.rules and then put this in Parser.cpp: #ifdef ICE_USE_XMLPARSEAPI # include <xmlparse.h> #else # include <expat.h> #endif Certainly this is not the only way to do this. ** Next regarding Freeze backup demo. I checked the sources into CVS so I can track changes I might make and so that I can use cvs to merge in future changes I might download from zeroc. However the way CVS works it creates a CVS subdirs: full/CVS include/CVS to hold cvs state info. When I did a make clean using original Makefile it removed the CVS dir as follows: rm -rf full/* incremental/* So I removed the empty dires full & incremental for the CVS repository and adjusted the Makefile to creat them on demand. If you don't want to keep this change that's fine I can deal with it. Thanks, -john |

Hi John,
You should use expat 1.95.x from http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat or http://www.sunfreeware.com (for binary distributions). (where to find third party packages is listed in the various INSTALL.<uname> files) Regarding the Freeze backup demo, you're right, this cleaning is not good, I'll fix it! Bernard |
