just curious what solaris versions and/or compilers
people are (trying to) build/use(ing) plan9port on/with,
and which experiences they have.
For example, in the past we have noticed differences between
sunos 5.8 and (I think) 5.10 regarding thread stuff.
I run it on sunos 5.8 and build it with sun cc (Sun WorkShop 6 C 5.1).
For the last year and a half I've been using (daily, including 9term)
a plan9port that I built early january 2005.
I've just rebuild plan9port from cvs (sunos 5.8, sun cc).
I needed minor tweaks (like the threadimpl.h thing reported here, thx)
I've not used much of it yet, some things (e.g. acme) do work, some not.
Things I encountered so far (and will look into):
- ps aborts with: sort: note: sys: child
(I've seen that before and then ignored the problem,
maybe there is a deeper problem to solve)
- 9term seems not to give me a shell (does not print a prompt)
- somehow I broke plumbing images (via acme, or directly via plumb)
- b3 down in 9term and then moving the mouse (b3 still pressed)
shows the outline of rio's b3 menu; this continues when
moving the mouse outside the 9term window; rio b3 menu appears
only when releasing b3
- I'm not sure all tests in libthread run successfully;
what 'effects' are to be expected?
Axel.
