Build error: Solaris 9 + libsmbios

Thanks Michael,

 

As I understand you will be working on autotools to make the compilation simpler. After this running some script should create Makefiles and then simple “make” should build the libsmbios.

 

Is there any other way that I can compile the libsmbios code before you come up with the tools?

 

Thanks & regards,

Looking at things, it is going to take a fair amount of work to get it going on Solaris as things stand now.

 

I am now looking at how much effort it would take to use autotools to make this simpler. I'll take a couple hours and look into this.

To add more to what I said earlier, here is what I have done till now.

 

 

 

Installed Solaris 9 (install CD, Disk1, Disk2) from Sun's website, then

installed some more packages including gcc-3.4.6-sol9-x86-local and

make-3.80-sol9-intel-local from http://www.sunfreeware.com/

 

 

 

Do I need some sort of combination of make/gmake/cc/gcc for compiling?

I am using make and here is the output of PATH env variable.

 

 

 

# echo $PATH

 

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

 

# make

 

DEPENDENCIES         ;    : bins/isCmosTokenActive.d

 

/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `BASE=$' unexpected

Are you using GNU make on solaris and GCC? Or are you using solaris make and

cc?

Hi,

 

 

 

I am trying to compile libsmbios on Solaris 9 (x86 architecture). I have

downloaded the older source code version i.e. libsmbios-0.10.5 and I am

getting following error as soon as I start the build in the main directory.

 

 

 

DEPENDENCIES         ;    : supported-bins/assetTag.d

 

/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `BASE=$' unexpected

 

make: *** [supported-bins/assetTag.d] Error 2

 

 

 

 

 

Any ideas what this could be for? Is it that I have to write new Makefile?

Any clues would be appreciated.

 

 

 

Thanks
