ptrace on solaris

0 votes

I'm trying to port a program that uses ptrace from linux to solaris, but no luck, as it complains that sys/ptrace.h is not found. Any idea how to port it?

Best answer

Solaris still has some ptrace support, see the man page. The note at the end of the man page says it all:

The /proc debugging interfaces should be used instead of ptrace(), which provides quite limited debugger support and is itself implemented using the /proc interfaces. There is no actual ptrace() system call in the kernel. See proc(4) for descriptions of the /proc debugging interfaces.

How to compile git without iconv on solaris?

I tried to compile git 2.4.3 on Solaris 10. I used the following configuration:

$ ./configure --without-iconv

$ grep -i iconv config.status
ac_cs_config="'--without-iconv'"
 set X /bin/bash './configure' '--without-iconv'
$ac_configure_extra_args --no-create --no-recursion
OLD_ICONV=UnfortunatelyYes

But when I try to compile it, I get an error that libiconv is missing:

 LINK git-credential-store
Undefined first referenced
 symbol in file
libintl_gettext libgit.a(lockfile.o)
libiconv_close libgit.a(utf8.o)
libiconv_open libgit.a(utf8.o)
libintl_ngettext libgit.a(date.o)
libiconv libgit.a(utf8.o)
ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to git-credential-store
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake: *** [git-credential-store] Error 1

How can I work around this?

Check the AddHandler statement in your httpd.conf file.

Flash Player on Firefox on solaris

I usually download the tarballs for Solaris for Firefox from the contrib directory at http://ftp.mozilla.org/

With 20.0.1 I created a plugins directory in /opt/firefox (that being where I extracted the tarball) and put a link to my flashplayer there:
libflashplayer.so -> /opt/flash/lib/libflashplayer.so

Alls well and dandy and flash player works.

I just downloaded 22.0 and did the same thing and trying streetview on google it tells me I need to get Flash Player 10 or later.
