Problem building Hobbit on a Solaris 10 zone
list John P Martin
Hi,
I have been trying to build a Hobbit server in a Solaris 10
non-global zone (or container), having downloaded the 4.2.0 source kit. I
believe I have met all the prerequisites, but when I come to the "make"
stage, the build fails.
I spent some time checking what I had done and searching for known
problems, so apologies if the information is already out there and I've
missed it.
I repeated the steps I went through on another similar server, but this
time built the kit in the global zone, and it built OK. Has anyone
sucessfully built a hobbit server in a Solaris 10 non-global zone?
Details:
OS: Solaris 10 1/06
Hobbit 4.2.0
Hardware: SunFire V240 (Sparc).
The configure goes OK. The make seems to be OK up to this point:
(cd c-ares && CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -DSunOS -I.
-I/export/home/user1/hobbit-4.2.0/include -I/usr/local/include" ./configure
--disable-shared)
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access
parent directories: Error 0
job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot
access parent directories: Error 0
This message repeats lots of times, then a bunch of:
cat: cannot open confdefs.h
messages, and the whole session ends with:
checking for library containing gethostbyname... -lnsl
checking for library containing socket... -lsocket
checking whether to enable debug options... no
configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub
make[1]: *** [c-ares/Makefile] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/user1/hobbit-4.2.0/bbnet'
make: *** [bbnet-build] Error 2

I will create a version of hobbit server package for sparc and intel solaris 10 for hobbit community. but I hope you can wait. the package will be here http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/branches/tjyang/dist/cd/dists/opt/packages/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/ I didn't use gcc to compile hobbit on Solaris platform. package source will be released also.

Is this a sparse root or a whole root zone? If the former then the container may not have permission to write to /usr . - katherine hosch

Bear with me, I left Sun 11/2005, haven't touched a Solaris machine since early 06, and my zone mojo is somewhat rusty. But isn't it possible for the local zones to lack packages that exist in the global zone? Are the header packages missing from the local zone? -- --Ben Benjamin P.

I have just reconfigured/recompiled Hobbit 4.2.0 within a Solaris 10 zone although I don't know which patch level I am running and this is an i386 arch machine, so it can definitely be done. Since it looks like ./configure is complaining you could have a look in ~/hobbit-4.2.0/bbnet/c-ares/config.log file, that may have more detailed information. |\/|artin

Hi
I have just built a test Hobbit server in a Solaris zone, but I used
sol10_u5.
It's also a Sparc system.
I tried in a sparse zone, and experienced a world of hurt.
I reinstalled the zone as non-sparse, and life was good.
I did notice that LD_LIBRARY_PATH needed many additions along the way,
but it doesn't look like that's your problem.
You will also need to make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correctly
defined when you start Hobbit (when you get there)
Are you using a sparse zone?
That might be the cause of your pain.
Cheers
Vernon

Hi, Thanks to everyone who replied. Sorry for the slow response - I locked myself out of email for a couple of days. To respond to the postings:
It looks like permissions problems on the directories to me.[Jim Smith}
That's what I thought, but I went the whole "recursive 777" hog and it made no difference.
I will create a version of hobbit server package for sparc... [T. J.
Yang] That would be great - I could stop worrying :-)
Is this a sparse root or a whole root zone? ... [Katherine Hosch].
It was originally sparse root, and I had the same thoughts,so I rebuilt the zone as whole root.

Since it looks like ./configure is complaining you could have a look in

isn't it possible for the local zones to lack packages that exist in the global zone? [Ben August]
You're not that rusty - you are quite right. However, in this instance I
believe all the packages from the global zone were successfully installed
in the non-global zone, apart from two relating to zone management (which
aren't meant to install in non-global zones because they aren't
appropriate).
Many thanks - this is an excellent mailing list. Lots of quick responses,
and all relevant - superb.
Here is some of the information from the
~/hobbit-4.2.0/bbnet/c-ares/config.log file as suggested by Martin Ward.
It looks to me like a repeat of the error messages posted earlier, and I
can't see any more useful clues, but perhaps that's just me:
configure:2272: gcc --version </dev/null >&5
job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot

I don't know if this is useful, but I can reproduce the message on a linux
system by doing this:
mkdir /tmp/a
cd /tmp/a
rmdir /tmp/a
bash
I don't have a Solaris 10 non-global zone handy to try it in, but that
*doesn't* work in either Solaris 8 (sparc) or Solaris 10 (x86 in VMware)
global zone. I guess they're smart enough to notice when you try to remove
a directory that's in your working directory path.
So, this may not be helpful, and I don't know how it does it, but I'd say it
looks like *something* is somehow making part of the directory path
disappear...

I've built many clients in Solaris 10 zones, have not tried a server. I can't recall exactly what the trouble was but I have a faint memory of building something, apache php or mysql in a zone and having some odd troubles with the redirection to /dev/null. You could try to edit configure and send that to a flat file in /var/tmp or somewhere.
configure:2272: gcc --version </dev/null >&5

John, I just built hobbit on a sparc (whole root) container, using the gcc that is part of the full Solaris install (/usr/sfw/bin/gcc). However, there are several package prerequisites that I had to install, all available from sunfreeware.com : make (gnu make) fping rrdtool pcre Once that is all there you should be able to run "./configure --server" and then "make" (make sure it is the make in /usr/local/bin - gmake). The error message indicates that you have moved the parent directory or something like that.
