I had to copy sys-apps/gawk directory over to OVERLAY and change files/filefuncs/Makefile line:35

from:

Code:

$(LD) -o $@ -shared -Wl,-soname -Wl,filefuncs.so.$(MAJORVER) $^


to:
Code:

$(LD) -o $@ -shared $^


and then manually create appropriate links.

This particular ld problem is very common in other packages as well.

Stonent, did you ever try gnu binutils on sun vs sun's own as/ld? I am a bit apprehensive about it, but if you have some inputs on do's and dont's, I will really appreciate it...

More problems:

portage configure is always done with prefix=/usr, so all these libtool based libraries(fontconfig, pango, glib, gtk to name a few) create .la files with that prefix while the portage installs packages into ${ROOT}. Portage doesn't try to correct all .la and .pc files for prefix.

So, non-ROOT installs are getting messy.

Genone, any ideas on how to circumvent this?

PS: where do I file bug against portage? I have quite a few...:)

Right, because $ROOT is not for choosing a different install location but for chroot type installs (e.g. you emerge for ROOT=/foo and when you're done you can chroot /foo and have a working system)

Well, portage is not designed as a secondary package manager atm and I don't know how or when carpaski is going to implement Pathspec (which is the thing you'd need)

Keep them, we already have enough of them :twisted:

OK, just to complete the documentation of this incredible journey which stonent put me thru (...:)), I got this non-ROOT thing to work.

I changed econf and einstall to configure and install in ${ROOT}. I then added few lines in portage.py treewalk function which first merge files(if any) from ../image/${ROOT} to ${ROOT} and then remove ".../image/${ROOT}". Of course secondhand/thirdhand are taken care of before removing. Then mergeme of "..../image" to ${ROOT} proceeds as normal.

I could finally emerge gvim and use it....without touching a single file as user root. wow!! on solaris?? double wow!!

only pathological cases(very few useful ones) are where .ebuild itself does ./configure. I will soon write a function to wrap those inside src_compile and src_install.

stonent: I finally did install binutils (binutils with older gcc(installed with Sun ld), gcc 3.3.2 with newer binutils and older gcc, and finally binutils with newer gcc). I haven't had any problems compiling/linking/running so far. So, do give gnu-ld a chance.

I keep getting unsubcribed from this thread. :evil:

Well. I'm starting to get lost in some things. I'm getting a few simple things to emerge but still getting things like:

Code:
 /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: eerror: command not found
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: eerror: command not found
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: eerror: command not found
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: eerror: command not found
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: eerror: command not found


I'm not finding a baselayout tar file and I'm sure some things are still missing.

if you do a "emerge -f -O baselayout", it should get you a rc-scripts tar in /usr/portage/distfiles. functions.sh and depscan.sh in that tar have to go in /usr/sbin.

oops...sorry about that. those files have to go to /sbin and then you need to create a link in /etc/init.d to /sbin/functions.sh.

that's weird!! I emerged the same version fine. post o/p of "patch --help".

try without -O and see what it wants to merge before zlib.

At work now, but just noticed:
Code:
patch: **** fseek : Invalid argument


Is fseek a command, function or something in patch? If I were home I could check on my working gentoo system.

fseek is C a library function and that message from patch is from C code in patch.

I still think that it is the patch binary...same ebuild and same diff works here. "patch --help" might help.

don't know what's going on here.

you have few options though.

1. you can edit the ebuild in /usr/portage/sys-libs/zlib/zlib-1.1.4-r2.ebuild to exclude the security patch
2. edit it to include more recent version of patch as done in zlib-1.1.4-r3.ebuild
3. use "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~sparc emerge zlib" to emerge latest one

this will help see if the patch is bad on your machine. in any case, at least you will be able to proceed.

Well removing the e-patch from it made it take it but the ebuild appears to be hard coded to put the libs in /usr. Not sure if that is what we want or not.

I wonder who we have to talk to , to get them to make a sparcsolaris and x86solaris arch type so we can start testing e-builds and "unmasking" them.

Also, as I mentioned before, it would be nice to make portage use the binaries in /opt/csw because I have to rename a lot of the solaris binaries and link them to gnu ones in /opt/csw (potentially wreaking some havok on the system)

It is getting to the point where some things are working but there are a few minor changes in the way portage works in order to make it fully work in Solaris.

(Rementioning this because we got mentioned in the Gentoo Weekly newsletter and they said we were "almost finished") :lol:

Ideally we could submit ebuilds that work with Solaris and they could be included into the normal rsync mirrors, or if the regular ebuilds work, just add "sparcsolaris" to the arch type

:lol:

well, here is my latest status. After the changes in portage python and shell scripts(portage/bin and portage/pym dirs) and using the ROOT feature, I could install binutils, perl, gvim, gnome, mozilla, galeon, xine-ui, xmms on my 2.6 in a non-root location. And whole system works pretty well (to my surprise I must say...) within the parameters of usual 2.6 compile errors (I think solaris 9 won't have most of those) but nothing that could stop me long. I had to write a sed script(few rules I deducted from looking at a large number of ebuilds) which would replace hard coded paths like /usr, /etc, /var etc. with path relative to ${ROOT} in every ebuild that passes thru portage scripts. I had to edit few ebuilds because of inherent nature of the ebuild or for masking out certain features which don't exist on solaris.

one of the major difficulties I faced was getting every package to use GNU build tools instead of solaris build tools. not every package honours --with-gnu-ld. Some packages determined GNU tools from env. var GCC. Others, tried to be smart and used solaris specific imake to create makefiles. Surprisingly, once I got them to use gcc/g++ and binutils, they behaved well. Overall, using gnu tools might result in a slightly lower performance compared to the native tools, but at least I don't have to deal with changes in Makefiles for linking every other package. Many packages don't honour --disable-nls cleanly and it doesn't matter on linux because iconv is there in glibc itself. I tried glibc once, but it didn't compile on 2.6. I heard it compiles fine on 2.9.

most portage changes went to ebuild.sh, emerge and portage.py and some of those changes were hard coded hacks.

one day, when I have some spare time with me, I will package these changes together for nice and clean install in a non-root location on solaris. I will write a small doc and post it here.

yes! I have a few already. but it needs some fundamental changes(like the proposed arch type) in portage...Genone?

Ideally we could submit ebuilds that work with Solaris and they could be included into the normal rsync mirrors, or if the regular ebuilds work, just add "sparcsolaris" to the arch type


yes! I have a few already. but it needs some fundamental changes(like the proposed arch type) in portage...Genone?


See bug 38312 first, as we try to find a solution to limit the numbers of KEYWORDS, as with multiple OS and archs it will get ugly (think of NetBSD :twisted: ). I think we'll end up with a different variable for the OS that will be checked together with KEYWORDS to get the masking status (so KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc sparc" OS="solaris linux" would result in "~x86linux ~ppclinux sparclinux ~x86solaris sparcsolaris", note the lack of ~ppcsolaris). Any input on that is welcome, also I'd suggest that you bring it up on the gentoo-dev list.
If you have any portage/ebuild patches that would help for solaris and don't break the ebuild for linux you could submit them already to https://bugs.gentoo.org.

What about the poor Solaris-PPC users? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&c2coff=1&q=%22solaris+ppc%22

I had originally thought about what you mentioned above, but I thought it might have been too radical of a chance to submit, but maybe I was wrong!

I don't remember what I'm running at this point but I did look at what the stage 1 had and downloaded the appropriate pieces using pkg-get (bolthole version)

If they already had a binutils package, then I'm using it.

mv, cp, tar, tty, install need to be GNU for portage to run (I'm actually using the BSD SunOS install in /usr/ccs (i think) linked to the real one.

I've also been thinking about how we could bootstrap a stage 1 under solaris. Basically I came up with this.

You'll need the bolthole pkg-get package installed as well as wget in your path.

Then a script will run out to bolthole and pkg-get all of the latest versions of python, gcc, etc that are needed to run portage. These will install into /opt/csw

Then it will wget the solaris stage1 tarball and bootstrap using the bolthole packages (probably install them into /opt/portage or something) and when it is done with stage 1, it will remove the /opt/csw packages and run completely off of the compiled packages instead to rebuilt itself just like the real portage does.
