CompilingSunSolaris

Compiling on Sun Solaris

When trying to compile the CVS snapshot from 2004-05-27 with gcc 3.3.2 on a SunOS foo 5.8 Generic_108528-22 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 machine, I had to fix a few things.

First, I installed the following packages:

autoconf-2.59
automake-1.8.3
intltool-0.30
expat-1.95.7
libpng-1.2.5
libsigc++-2.0.3
glib-2.4.2
glibmm-2.4.2
atk-1.7.0
render-0.8
xrender-0.8.3
xft-2.1.2
pango-1.4.0
gtk+-2.4.2
gtkmm-2.4.2

I configured Inkscape with the following switches:

./configure --prefix=/home/foo/Tools/ --includedir=/home/foo/Tools/include CPPFLAGS=-I/home/foo/Tools/include

Then "fix" stuff in the inkscape sources:

Uncomment "@INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE@" in Makefile.

Use <inttypes.h>, not <stdint.h> in

src/display/sp-canvas.h,
src/livarot/DblLinked.h, 
src/livarot/LivarotDefs.h, 
src/livarot/AVL.h, 
src/livarot/Shape.h, 
src/livarot/ShapeUtils.h,
src/livarot/Ligne.h
src/livarot/AlphaLigne.h
src/livarot/BitLigne.h
src/livarot/MyMath.h

(see http://www.lns.cornell.edu/public/COMP/info/autoconf/Header-Portability.html)

Replace round() with rint() according to http://news.gw.com/freebsd.gnome/1237 in

src/object-edit.cpp, src/spiral-context.cpp src/star-context.cpp

fabsf() was undeclared (I just put in "fabs()", not sure if this is correct) in

src/sp-shape.cpp

(see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2001-01/msg00465.html).

Replaced fabsf(), floorf() and ceilf() with fabs(), floor() and ceil() in

src/display/nr-arena-shape.cpp
src/display/canvas-bpath.cpp
src/display/sp-ctrlline.cpp
src/libnrtype/nr-rasterfont.cpp
src/livarot/AlphaLigne.cpp
src/livarot/BitLigne.cpp
src/livarot/Ligne.cpp
src/livarot/PathOutline.cpp
src/livarot/ShapeMisc.cpp

isfinite() is undeclared, use

#include <ieeefp.h>

and finite() (see http://devrsrc1.external.hp.com/STKS/impacts/i61.html) in

src/display/bezier-utils.cpp

Need to include

#include <ieeefp.h>

in

src/libnr/nr-svp.cpp

Missing strcasestr() used in libnrtype/nr-type-directory.cpp. I just use the internal version for WIN32 given in the file.

In file included from /home/foo/Tools/include/X11/extensions/Xrender.h:33,
                 from /home/foo/Tools/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:47,
                 from libnrtype/nr-type-xft.cpp:16:
/usr/openwin/include/X11/Xutil.h:56: warning: ignoring #pragma ident 
/usr/openwin/include/X11/Xutil.h:117: error: 'Bool' is used as a type, but is 
   not defined as a type.

/usr/openwin/include/X11/Xutil.h:121: error: 'Window' is used as a type, but is 
   not defined as a type.
[...]

etc. Fixed this by adding #include <X11/Xlib.h> before including Xft.h in src/libnrtype/nr-type-xft.cpp.

`bind_textdomain_codeset' undeclared in src/main.cpp and src/inkscape.cpp. Just copied the definition in that file outside the ifdef.

`fpresetsticky' undeclared (autoconf seems to have checks for it. Solaris has fpsetsticky() when ieeefp.h is included.)

No rule for target inkscape.desktop - just created an empty rule.

DONE! It runs on Solaris! Yay! :) --Colin Marquardt
