Solaris 2.4 installation on a SPARCstation

Solaris 2.4 is one of the first releases of Solaris that was considered "good" and "stable". It is the last release to support the sun4 kernel architecture and probably the best of the really old Solaris releases. There is no CDE and no POSIX threads, but the Sun workshop compiler 5.0 is supported.

Install Solaris with everything + recommended patch cluster. There are bugs in some /usr/include files. Install patch 101925-02! Very important.

mirror disks in SPARCstation 10 and 20 with disksuite:

1. Copy the partition table of the first disk to its mirror.

prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2

2. Create at least 2 DiskSuite state database replicas on each disk. A state database replica contains DiskSuite configuration and state information.

metadb -a -f -c2 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3 /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s3

3. Mirror the root slice.

metainit -f d10 1 1 c0t3d0s0
metainit -f d20 1 1 c0t1d0s0
metainit d0 -m d10
metaroot d0 (Use this command only on the root slice!)

4. Mirror the swap slice.

metainit -f d11 1 1 c0t3d0s1
metainit -f d21 1 1 c0t1d0s1
metainit d1 -m d11

5. Mirror the var slice.

metainit -f d14 1 1 c0t3d0s4
metainit -f d24 1 1 c0t1d0s4
metainit d4 -m d14

6. Mirror the usr slice.

metainit -f d15 1 1 c0t3d0s5
metainit -f d25 1 1 c0t1d0s5
metainit d5 -m d15

7. Mirror the opt slice.

metainit -f d16 1 1 c0t3d0s6
metainit -f d26 1 1 c0t1d0s6
metainit d6 -m d16

8. Mirror the home slice.

metainit -f d17 1 1 c0t3d0s7
metainit -f d27 1 1 c0t1d0s7
metainit d7 -m d17

Update /etc/vfstab to mount the mirrors after boot. like this: (from Solaris 2.5.1, different filesystems!)

#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options
#

/dev/md/dsk/d1  -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/md/dsk/d0  /dev/md/rdsk/d0 /       ufs     1       no      -
/dev/md/dsk/d6  /dev/md/rdsk/d6 /usr    ufs     1       no      -
/dev/md/dsk/d4  /dev/md/rdsk/d4 /var    ufs     1       no      -
/dev/md/dsk/d7  /dev/md/rdsk/d7 /export ufs     2       yes     -
/dev/md/dsk/d5  /dev/md/rdsk/d5 /opt    ufs     2       yes     -
swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -


reboot the system. at last, attach the mirrors:

metattach d0 d20
metattach d1 d21
metattach d4 d24
metattach d5 d25
metattach d6 d26
metattach d7 d27

Solaris 2.5.1 and older won't cooperate with modern Linux NFSv4. Mount as version 2:

mount -F nfs -o vers=2 audrey:/export/binaries /mnt

configure gcc like this:

./../gcc-2.95.3/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --without-gnu-as --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local --disable-nls

gcc version 2.95.3 and older cannot use binutils. However, there are bugs and limitation in Sun ld and nm. Build GNU binutils (2.12.1 works). gcc version 3.0.4 and later need c++filt, nm, and GNU ld from binutils. copy to /usr/local/bin/c++filt, /usr/local/bin/nm, and /usr/local/bin/gnuld manually. Do not do a "make install" for binutils.


getpagesize: undefined symbol

Solaris 2 does not have a proper getpagesize. It's a BSD compatibility function, which is not thread safe and not recommended.

"getpagesize()" can easily be replaced with "sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)".



gcc-3.1.1:

./../gcc-3.1.1/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/gnuld --with-gnu-ld --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --without-gnu-as --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local --disable-nls --disable-threads && make bootstrap
gcc-3.1.1/gcc/config/sparc/sol2.h
replace
long size = getpagesize ();
with
long size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
also replace getpagesize in gcc/cppfiles.c and gcc/gcc-page.c
change getpagesize to sysconf. Rest builds fine after installing header patch

m4-1.4.8

tar-1.18:

src/misc.c: undefined getpagesize - change to sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
src/system.c: undefined snprintf - use missing_snprintf.h

openssl-1.0.1j: FAILs

crypto/o_str.c:
change strings.h to string.h
FAILS in tests


gdbm-1.10:

src/flatfile.c:
#include <sys/byteorder.h>

the rest appears to work.

libsigsev-2.10

less-418

libxml-1.8.17

diffutils-3.2 lib/regex.c: change #include <strings.h> to <string.h>


pkg-config-0.25 some tests fails, because of issues with /bin/sh. change to /usr/local/bin/bash and tests work mostly. install anyway.
