Compiling NSIS 2.01 on Solaris

[NichDieMama]

Hi!

Has anyone successfully compiled NSIS 2.01 on Solaris? I did compile it on Linux, but on Solaris I got lots of errors:

For the pthread errors, add #include <pthread.h> on the top of clzma.h.

I have tried to reproduce the other error on three different solaris computers, but none showed that error. Can you attach (don't copy and paste, it might be very large) the output of `man munmap`?

[NichDieMama]

Hi!

Thanks for your quick reply. I did that include and came to the munmap problem. I had a look at mmap.h and casted the first argument to caddr_t which seems to work fine. I attached my 'man munmap' nevertheless plus mmap.h. Now I am running into a problem in script.cpp:

ctime_r is defined in time.h which is already included. ctime_r conforms with POSIX.1 (1996), so it's a pretty basic function that should be in any POSIX compliant platform. But I guess I could convert it to ctime which is defined in ANSI-C. Try replacing that block of code with:

code:
definedlist.add("__TIMESTAMP__",ctime(&st.st_mtime));

As for munmap, is there any define that can be checked so caddr_t can be used?

[NichDieMama]

Hi!

Thanks! Your code did it. Since I am a Java programmer I do not have that much clue about C or C++ programming. The functions with the caddr_t argument are defined in the else part of an #if (_POSIX_C_SOURCE > 2) || defined(_XPG4_2). I am not sure which values are hold by those variables.

I had to remove the -Wl option in LDFLAGS to make the linker happy. But when running makensis, it core dumped. Any ideas? Could you compile and link it successfully? Which gcc version are you using?

Looks like the big endian problem... Are you using Sparc? According to this page, Sparc has a little endian mode. Try looking for little endian switch for gcc.

[NichDieMama]

Hi!

My gcc does not support -mlittle-endian for Sparc CPUs. I tried -D__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ and/or -D__LITTLE_ENDIAN_DATA__ which showed not effect. I also tried -m32 and -m64 which also didn't help. Further ideas?

[kichik]

Are you running on 32 or 64 bit Sparc?
