Maui doesn't build out-of-the-box on Solaris 10. I tried a couple S10
variants (update 5 and update 9) and a couple different versions of gcc (4.2
and 4.4). Configure complains:
configure: WARNING: Unsupported OS: SunOS, attempting build with
OPSYS=__LINUX
When I forge ahead and execute make anyway I get an error trying to compile
MUtil.c (with gcc 4.4):
gcc -I../../include/ -I/var/spool/maui/include
-I/var/opt/torque/include -D__LINUX -D__MPBS -g -O2 -c MUtil.c
MUtil.c: In function 'MUGetPeriodStart':
MUtil.c:4130: error: 'struct tm' has no member named 'tm_gmtoff'
make[1]: *** [MUtil.o] Error 1
Maui 3.2.6p21, 3.3 and 3.3.1 all fail to build in the same way. That code
is guarded by an #idef __LINUX directive.
Looking in configure I saw no mention of Solaris in the "Determine OPSYS"
section. Is there some reason adding this fragment of code
elif test "$OS" = "SunOS"; then
OPSYS="__SOLARIS"
shouldn't work (with obligatory changes to LDFLAGS to pick up the socket and
nsl libraries)? I see a few mentions of __SOLARIS in the code, MUtil.c
compiles cleanly when you don't lie to it about the OS it's being built on,
and with the socket and nsl libraries included, everything links okay.
Am I missing something? Why would HP-UX, IRIX and AIX be supported but
Solaris not?
