Build error: Solaris 9 + libsmbios

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

Looking at things, it is going to take a fair amount of work to get it going on Solaris as things stand now.

I am now looking at how much effort it would take to use autotools to make this simpler. I'll take a couple hours and look into this.

To add more to what I said earlier, here is what I have done till now.

 

Installed Solaris 9 (install CD, Disk1, Disk2) from Sun's website, then
installed some more packages including gcc-3.4.6-sol9-x86-local and
make-3.80-sol9-intel-local from http://www.sunfreeware.com/

 

Do I need some sort of combination of make/gmake/cc/gcc for compiling?

I am using make and here is the output of PATH env variable.

 

# echo $PATH

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

# make

DEPENDENCIES             : bins/isCmosTokenActive.d

/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `BASE=$' unexpected

make: *** [bins/isCmosTokenActive.d] Error 2

Are you using GNU make on solaris and GCC? Or are you using solaris make and
cc?

Hi,

 

I am trying to compile libsmbios on Solaris 9 (x86 architecture). I have
downloaded the older source code version i.e. libsmbios-0.10.5 and I am
getting following error as soon as I start the build in the main directory.

 

DEPENDENCIES             : supported-bins/assetTag.d

/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `BASE=$' unexpected

make: *** [supported-bins/assetTag.d] Error 2

 

 

Any ideas what this could be for? Is it that I have to write new Makefile?
Any clues would be appreciated.

 

Thanks
