Build VLC on Solaris / OpenSolaris
Solaris 10, x86
To be done.
Solaris 10, SPARC
Sparc builds outside GCC, are currently unstable.
- Many bugs fixed (until now).
- all shells must point to /usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh (not fully posix) (tip: CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh)
- bootstrapping requires to change subprocess shell (see patch below)
- filesystem.c needs to be patched for NAME_MAX
- skins2 module needs to be disabled (another NAME_MAX problem & other)
Blocking:
- Lots of if (p==NULL) msgDbg("foo %s", p) in the code segfaults in multiple places. Developers have assumed that %s is fixed as "(null)" like Glibc does. Not available on sparc.
- crashes at network/httpd.c at poll() level.

Bootstrapping
Boostrap script needs to be able to run same subshells as parent. If bootstrap fails on genmf, then the subshell has fallen back to the default /bin/sh which isn't posix compliant. In that case, you need to patch as follow:
@@ -97,7 +97,7 @@ AC_DEFUN([PKG_CHECK_MODULES],[ifelse([\$4], , :, [\$4])]) EOF fi -modules/genmf `sed -ne 's,modules/\(.*\)/Makefile,\1,p' configure.ac` +$SHELL modules/genmf `sed -ne 's,modules/\(.*\)/Makefile,\1,p' configure.ac`
ACLOCAL_ARGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal/" export ACLOCAL_ARGS /usr/xpg4/bin/sh bootstrap
Configure
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh configure --with-a52=/opt/csw/ --with-mad=/opt/csw/ --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-skins2 --disable-glx
--with-gnu-ld might also be required (check configure result!)
Sun Studio: Add --disable-qt4 if required. (Qt 4.6.0 Currently fails)
