[Help-smalltalk] 1.95.2 on Solaris 8 x86

[Dirk Sondermann]

Building smalltalk-1.95.2 on Solaris 8 x86 requires only the
following slight modifications:

configure :
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  3258c3258
  <   egrep " *ioctl[[^A-Za-z0-9_]]" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  ---
  >   egrep " *ioctl[^A-Za-z0-9_]" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  ("*ioctl[[^A-Za-z0-9_]]" doesn't match "extern int ioctl();")

lib-src/Makefile.in :
  -------------------------------------------
  110c110
  < library_la_LDFLAGS = -static
  ---
  > library_la_LDFLAGS =
  -------------------------------------------
  (prevents ld from reporting fatal errors)

Makefile.in :
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  602c602
  <       export SMALLTALK_KERNEL=`cd $(srcdir)/kernel; pwd`; \
  ---
  >       SMALLTALK_KERNEL=`cd $(srcdir)/kernel; pwd` \
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  (/bin/sh doesn't support `export VAR=val' on Solaris)

tests/Makefile.in :
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  249c249
  <       export SMALLTALK_KERNEL="$(top_srcdir)/kernel/";
  ---
  >       SMALLTALK_KERNEL="$(top_srcdir)/kernel/"; export SMALLTALK_KERNEL
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

tests/run-test :
  -----------------------------------------------------
  4c4
  < : ${GST=../gst}
  ---
  > : ${GST=../../gst}
  10d9
  < GST=`which $GST`
  14c13
  < (export SMALLTALK_IMAGE=`pwd`/..;
  ---
  > (SMALLTALK_IMAGE=`pwd`/..; export SMALLTALK_IMAGE
  -----------------------------------------------------


I should remark that I have tested these modifications only on
Solaris 8 x86.  It is very likely that there will crop up new
problems on a SPARC platform.
