Is there a pressing reason to use Solaris 2.6 , I have dropped developing for it. Solaris 7 and 8 run well on older hardware, I still use my Sparc 4 with Solaris 8. Both versions of Solaris can be bought cheaply on e-bay.
Do not use threads with gcc 2.95.2 since there is a compiler bug which will cause your code to crash from time to time -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Donald A. Dade Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2005 1:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mico-devel] Solaris 2.6 incompatible with threaded 2.3.11 A follow-up to some investigating I've done into ny Solaris 2.6 problem with 2.3.11: 1) I tried compiling 2.3.11 with --enable-threads --enable-pthreads and gcc 2.95.2, 3.3.2, and 3.4.4 with no success because apparently 2.6 has no support for POSIX read/write locks. 2) I tried those same compilers with --enable-threads --enable-solaris-threads, also to no avail because there were a lot of compile errors due to the MICO namespace. 3) Compiling without threads worked fine, but my app always gets TRANSIENT failures whenever I compile with -DREENTRANT, regardless of wether I actually have multiple threads in the program or even if I have multiple threads, but only one that interacts with the orb. If I can find the time, I'll fix it, but for now, I think Solaris 2.6 should be taken off of the compatibility list for multi-threaded 2.3.11 if it were ever explicitly on it.
