RE: [Chicken-users] Diff file to compile Chicken 4.5.0 on OpenSolaris

[Semih Cemiloglu]

Hi Felix,

I also built chicken-4.5.0 on Solaris 10 running on sparc platform with Sun 
studio C compiler:

$ uname -a
SunOS oberon 5.10 Generic_141414-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880

$ cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124867-06 2008/06/10

With one minor change on top changes I have submitted: tests/runtests.sh has to 
be run via ksh.

You may wish to update wiki's portability page:
 chicken.wiki.br/portability

Please note that both Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris (nicknamed Solaris 11) are 
available on both Intel (x86) and Sparc architecture. Current "architecture" 
field for "OpenSolaris" entry in the portability page might be wrong.


Solaris 10 port of Chicken passes all regression tests except one:

======================================== private repository test ...
../chicken private-repository-test.scm -output-file tmp/xxx.c -include-path ..
cc tmp/xxx.c -o tmp/xxx.o -c -errtags -DHAVE_CHICKEN_CONFIG_H 
-DC_ENABLE_PTABLES -xdebugformat=stabs -g -xO3 -DC_PRIVATE_REPOSITORY -I.. 
-I"/home/semihc/local/chicken-4.5.0/include"
rm tmp/xxx.c
cc tmp/xxx.o -o tmp/xxx -L.. -L"/home/semihc/local/chicken-4.5.0/lib" -lchicken 
-lrt -lsocket -lnsl -lm -ldl
rm tmp/xxx.o

Error: assertion failed: (string=? repo dir)

        Call history:

        private-repository-test.scm:6: repository-path
        private-repository-test.scm:6: normalize-pathname
        private-repository-test.scm:7: command-line-arguments
        private-repository-test.scm:7: normalize-pathname
        private-repository-test.scm:9: print
        ##sys#error                     <--


Any advice on how to resolve this is much appreciated.

Further, let me know if you wish to obtain binary tarballs of chicken on 
Solaris platforms.

Thanks, regards,
Semih Cemiloglu
