Title: Solaris Port
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | Below are some basic things how you can compile FPC, applying approximately to FPC 2.0 and Solaris 7 (SunOS 2.7). For more recent information see [[Lazarus on Solaris]], which applies to 2.4 and Lazarus 0.9.30 (or later) on Solaris 10. | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | Alternatively, if you have Solaris 10 Sparc or later, you might choose to use the FPC 2.6.4 binaries contributed by a user, at <http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/sparc-hints.html> | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | Note that cross compiling is not easy, especially not since you need to link to libc. | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | Also the assembler and linker calls are not correct for assembling and linking on the target platform and may need some manual tweaking in ppas.sh and finally in t_sunos.pas. | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | ## Build binutils | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | Download the latest GNU binutils and build a cross-assembler and linker | |
| 12 | + | ||
| 13 | + | `./configure --target=i386-pc-solaris2.7` | |
| 14 | + | ||
| 15 | + | ## Cross Compile the RTL | |
| 16 | + | ||
| 17 | + | In the fpc/rtl/solaris/ compile the rtl with: | |
| 18 | + | ||
| 19 | + | `make BINUTILSPREFIX=i386-pc-solaris2.7- OPT=-g` | |
| 20 | + | ||
| 21 | + | ## Compile the famous hello world \#1 | |
| 22 | + | ||
| 23 | + | Copy the solaris libc.* files to a dir on Linux | |
| 24 | + | ||
| 25 | + | `ppc386 -g -Xd -XPi386-pc-solaris2.7- -Fl<pathtosolarislibc> -Tsolaris helloworld` | |
| 26 | + | ||
| 27 | + | Run the executable on solaris (in gdb) | |
| 28 | + | ||
| 29 | + | ## Compile the famous hello world \#2 | |
| 30 | + | ||
| 31 | + | Another option is to compile on i386 and assemble and link on Solaris: | |
| 32 | + | ||
| 33 | + | `ppc386 -a -st -Tsolaris helloworld` | |
| 34 | + | ||
| 35 | + | This creates a ppas.sh script that can be run on Solaris. | |
| 36 | + | ||
