OpenSolaris Build Instructions/Configure Errors
Once you have finished downloading the OpenOffice.org source code, you will have to run the configure script. Below are some errors that you may encounter when trying to run this configure script on OpenSolaris 2008.11.
Errors
Error: tcsh not found in $PATH
checking which shell to use... tcsh
checking for tcsh... no
configure: error: tcsh not found in $PATH

which: no gcc in (/export/home/tiago:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin)
configure: error: in `/export/home/tiago/OOo/DEV300_m45':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
FIX: download GCC from Package Manager
Error: GCC Linker

FIX: linker error with GCC on OpenSolaris
searching this phrase, there is a conversation from a mailing list which details the exact cause, and only offers the suggestion of using Sun Studio to fix these problems
- the easiest way I found was to simply create the CC and CXX environmental variables:
CC=/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/cc CXX=/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/CC
OUTPUT AFTER ABOVE FIX:
checking for gcc... /opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/cc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out

configure: error: Failed to find some modules
FIX: install Archive/Zip.pm
- make sure that
/usr/bin:/opt/SunStudioExpress/binare first in your PATH- Sample way to do this:
export PATH=/usr/bin:/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin:$PATH - "Note that the command above makes sure that Perl does not use GNU make, which can cause trouble at this point. Later you will need GNU make to build OOo." (from the wiki page)
- Sample way to do this:
- before you run the CPAN command, make sure to sudo up to root!
- run:
pfexec perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
