Hi all,
for our ongoing course "Database-Supported XML Processors" I wanted to install MonetDB/XQuery in our Sun-based computer lab. I encountered a number of pitfalls during the install that I will list below. System is SunOS 5.9. There's a bunch of GNU tools installed (e.g., gcc), but a number of tools is only available in their original Sun version. I've used the 4.8.2/0.8.2 tarballs distributed on the SourceForge website and set `--enable-optimize'.
1. Python =========
MonetDB's ./configure complains about a wrong version of Python and aborts. If I give it `--without-python', however, ./configure no longer complains, and MonetDB compiles fine (apparently).
2. make =======
Default `make' on that system is the one provided by SunOS. Apparently this is *not* sufficient to compile MonetDB:
-- Sun's `make' does not like the wildcards (*.mk) in Makefile includes. I'm explicitly mentioning that because that actually annoys me for quite some time also on my system (independent of the Sun make issue). The Makefiles include $(top_srcdir)/*.mk and $(top_builddir)/*.mk. If I build MonetDB (or Pathfinder) directly in the source directory, this leads to any *.mk file being included twice---with loads of `make' warnings. Wouldn't it be more consistent to explicitly list .mk files to be included here with their full name? (Btw. with those wildcards, compilation will inevitably fail if I drop some random .mk file in any of the two directories---a thing that a normal user probably wouldn't expect/understand.)
-- Lots of other stuff is not understood by Sun's `make'.
Shouldn't ./configure also check whether the `make' implementation on a system suffices for the project?
gmake did the job for me. It was available on our Sun, fortunately.
3. libbz2 =========
There's no libbz2 on that system. ./configure still did not complain. Compilation, however failed. Adding a `--without-bz2' fixed the issue.
4. Compilation issue ====================
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../src/gdk -I../.. -I../../../src/gdk -I../common -DLIBGDK -O2 -std=c99 -D__EXTENSIONS__ -Wall -W -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -DHWCOUNTERS -DHW_SunOS -DHW_sun4u -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Werror -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-label -Wno-uninitialized -D_REENTRANT -c gdk_posix.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libbat_la-gdk_posix.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors ../../../src/gdk/gdk_posix.mx: In function `MT_getrss': ../../../src/gdk/gdk_posix.mx:550: warning: int format, pid_t arg (arg 1) gmake[4]: *** [libbat_la-gdk_posix.lo] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/u/halle/teubnerj/home_sun/MonetDB/src/MonetDB-4.8.2/build/src/gdk'
I've removed the -Werror to get past that error.
5. HwCounters =============
./configure complained about libcpc.h: present but cannot be compiled.
Seems like the libcpc.h is there for some other reason. Compiling failed with an error in ..counters.mx. I've thus set `--without-hwcounters'.
6. Parallel Make ================
Tired of long make runs, I've tried `gmake -j4. Result:
[...lots of stuff...] ../../../src/mel/ops.mx: ./ops.h - created ../../../src/mel/symtable.mx: ./symtable.h - created gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target `atom.mx', needed by `atom.h'. Stop. gmake[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... ../../../src/mel/dependency.mx: ./dependency.h - created gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/u/halle/teubnerj/home_sun/MonetDB/src/MonetDB-4.8.2/build/src/mel' gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
Missing dependencies? Starting gmake again did it for me.
Oops! Another one:

(I know that parallel build have their problems. I've listed the errors here anyway.)
7. Linker Error ===============
Finally I hit this linker error that I don't know how to solve:

Any ideas so I can continue and hit more compilation problems?
I'm not an expert on that system. Actually, I don't have any clue what software, libraries, tools, etc. is available there. I have access to the machine at any time, though, and I'm happy to give fixes a try or figure out, e.g., more detailed error messages.
