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

[Semih Cemiloglu]

Hi Felix,

Regarding this:
"The C_path_to_executable function in chicken.h is possibly not working.
Does Solaris something resembling the "/proc/<PID>/exe" thingy available
on Linux? We need a way to get at the real location of the currently
running executable in the file-system."

The patch for the chicken.h and the full modified version of it is attached to 
this message:

diff chicken-4.5.0-org/chicken.h chicken-4.5.0/chicken.h
2220c2220
< # ifdef __linux__
---
> # if defined(__linux__) || defined(__sun)
2225a2226
> # ifdef __linux__
2226a2228,2230
> # else
>   C_sprintf(linkname, "/proc/%i/path/a.out", pid); /* SunOS == Solaris */
> # endif

With this change, all of the regression tests pass (on OpenSolaris):

======================================== private repository test ...
../chicken private-repository-test.scm -output-file tmp/xxx.c -include-path ..

/export/home/semihc/Packages/chicken-4.5.0/tests/tmp)


I would appreciate if you please merge this change to main trunk. Consequently, 
the condition in 
runtests.sh for this particular test case should be removed:

 # Skip this test on Solaris/Sun CC
 if [ "$OS_NAME" != "SunOS" -o "$C_COMPILER" != "cc" ]; then


Kind regards,
