Build error: Solaris 9 + libsmbios

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

If you are a makefile wizard and want to re-write my Makefiles, be my
guest. You should start by copying build/Rules.make-linux to
build/Rules.make-solaris and making changes from there. Change the
include in the main Makefile to point to your new solaris makefiles. I
would not recommend this, as it is likely a lot of work.
 
Otherwise, I will see if I can get something put together today.

	Thanks Michael,

	 

	As I understand you will be working on autotools to make the
compilation simpler. After this running some script should create
Makefiles and then simple "make" should build the libsmbios.

	 

	Is there any other way that I can compile the libsmbios code
before you come up with the tools?

	 

	Thanks & regards,

	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
