Hi, I've been working on getting aspell to be able to use it in our product that runs on Solaris, using SUNs compiler:
[novia] ~/projects/spell> CC -V CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 Patch 111685-10 2002/09/16 [novia] ~/projects/spell> uname -a SunOS novia 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R I found quite a number of cases where the code simply wouldn't compile as the sun compiler is more strict (or less smart) than g++, the main issues were: * Ambiguity between a constructor Foo(Bar old) and an Foo::operator= (Bar old) * Ambiguity between == operators on std::string and acommon::ParamString * Some functions that should return a value, but don't because they call abort() * The symbols defined in string_buffer.cpp didn't seem to be linked into acommon.a, so rather than fight with an unreleased version of libtool I moved the stuff inline in string_buffer.hpp a better fix would be easy if the build system wasn't quite so esoteric:) The only problem I couldn't quite fix is that g++ seems to be quite happy linking the c++ libs to the libaspell.so file, but I can't seem to persuade CC to do the same, so I end up having to link all the applications with CC to supply the missing c++ libs. If anyone has an idea to fix that little problem, please let me know. The enclosed solaris_build script is what I currently use to build aspell with (after applying the patch) and it all seems to work ok. Any pointers? Any chance of getting the patch applied? -- Flemming Frandsen / Systems Designer
