[Fedora-directory-devel] build on solaris using gcc

[Giulio Fidente]

i've read carefully the build documentation written for solaris, but it 
assumes i'm using the sun workshop and the procedure does not work 
unmodified for gcc

someone has experiences about the build process using gcc and/or has 
documentation about that?

thanks in advance :-D

I haven't built on Solaris using gcc in a while but it does work. Some 
things, especially the things from mozilla.org, need to be told to use gcc.

Generally what I did is:

export CC=gcc
export CXX=g++

This will force the right compiler for sasl, db4, etc.

For NSS/NSPR/LDAPSDK/SVRCORE pass in the flag NS_USE_GCC=1 on the gmake 
command-line. You'll also need this when building the FDS code, 
something like:

% gmake USE_PERL_FROM_PATH=1 NS_USE_GCC=1 BUILD_DEBUG=optimize

[Fedora-directory-devel] Solaris 10 Client Install

[Brian Martinez]

All,

Does anyone have information specific to the configuration of Solaris 10 
acting as a LDAP client to a Fedora-DS Server for the purpose of User 
Authentication?

I have several Sun Blade 2500's running Solaris 10 that require the ability 
to utilize a central authentication system and I prefer to use FDS on a RH 
Linux platform.  I hold out hope that this has been attempted/accomplished 
by the real experts and I can leverage that work in completing this task.

Thank you in advance,
Brian
