In addition to those hints already provided on the list (you must have
header files and stuff in /usr/ccs) I'd like to point out that SSH-2.x
configure script assumes a little bit too much under Solaris 7. The script
reads:
case "$target" in
# On sparc machines with solaris 2.7 check for sun4u, in which case
# we use lp64
sparc-*-solaris2.7|sparc-*-solaris2.8)
if test "`uname -m`" = "sun4u"; then
DEFAULT_ADDR_MODEL=lp64
fi
;;
esac
It should be noted that Solaris can be booted in either 32- or 64-bit
mode on Ultra and `uname -m` = sun4u does *not* tell you wich version
of currently booted, isalist does. It should also be noted that it's
32-bit version which is installed/recommended/booted by default on
UltraSPARC-1-based workstations.
Further it reads:
if test "$ac_cv_prog_gcc" = "yes"; then
case "$target/$ADDR_MODEL" in
sparc-*/lp64)
KERN_CFLAGS="$KERN_CFLAGS -m64"
;;
It should be noted that gcc is *not* capable of generating 64-bit
object modules for Solaris. Well, gcc support for 64-bit SPARC is
rather poor in overall. Basically there is no working run-time
environment (not under Linux nor Solaris) and the only fully
functional 64-bit SPARC program compiled with gcc so far is
Linux kernel.
Cheers. Andy.
