Solaris 9 and florist

Solaris 9 and florist

[Adrian Hoe]

Hi,

I need to use florist for my next development on Sun SB150 running
Solaris 9 and gcc/gnat 3.3.2. I bootstrap gcc 3.3.2 sometime ago.

I downloaded florist from both source forge and ACT websites. My
application compile with them will not run. Segmentation fault (core
dumped) error waas displayed.

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=3FAB1C53.5080007%40nowhere.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3Dadrian%2Bhoe%2Bsegmentation%2Bfault%26btnG%3DSearch%26meta%3Dgroup%253Dcomp.lang.ada

According to my post threads above, it looks like the problem is
because of Solaris 9. Could someone confirm this?

Has anyone have successful use of florist on Sparc Solaris 8? Which
version of gcc and gnat and florist are used?

Thanks and best regards,

Yes. 3.13p on both Solaris 8 and 9.

The same "Segementation fault (core dumped)" error was displayed using 3.13p.

My configuration is as below:
Sparc Solaris 9
gcc-2.95.3
gnat-3.13p
florist-3.13p

I tried with gcc-3.3.2, the same error happens.

What could possible be wrong here?

Should I switch back to Solaris 8?

Thanks.

gnat 3.13p uses gcc 2.8.1 - you haven't mixed anything up with libraries
or other dependencies?

You are using tasks and the tasking in gnat (at least for 3.13p) uses a
undocumented method for accessing some thread information in Solaris.
This broke for Solaris 9.

I did a Makefile 'hack' when compiling GNAT which replaces one file in
the task implementation and this has worked for me. However, the
details of this fix escapes me, but I have it at work. However, I just
went on vacation for two weeks. I can look it up for you if that's soon
enough.

I used 2.95.3 and I believe I had a clean installation.

Do I have to compile gnat again? I would love to have that when you
come back from vacation.

Does anybody know if Solaris 10 have no such problem as S9?

Thanks.

Hmmm......the gcc patch for 3.13p is explicedly for 2.8.1.

This is the patch which is needed for the makefile. It's better to do
this from a fresh bundle. You need to configure and make the whole lot again.

Since 10 uses the same tasking as 9 that's my guess.
