[JDEV] Jabber on Solaris 2.7

[Keith Minkler]

Hi,

I have compiled the server successfully on Solaris 2.7, and we managed to get it installed on 2.5 (after MUCH fighting) so I do know that it is very possible.. One of the problems with installing on Solaris, is you need to be using gmake, not make.. some of the makefiles are setup to use make, so you will have to change the:
MAKE=make
line in the Makefile to 
MAKE=gmake

also, the configure script gets generated incorrecly on solaris, (well, not realy, but it uses a wrong flag for test)  at the top of the configure script, you will see a line like:
XXXXX_PARAM=-e 

(or something like that,)
just change the -e to a -r and re-run ./configure (don't rerun ./autogen.sh, since it will overwrite your configure script)

this should get you all installed and compiled.. 

NOTE: ADNS may or may not compile cleanly on Solaris, but it will make the required adns.a file, so just copy that to your lib location.  you may also have to disable the ./conigure checks for adns and pth, as they don' tseem to wrok right under solaris.. (i just took out the "exit 1;" commands after the check fails.
