2.8 Platform notes

Solaris (all versions):

/usr/ucb/tr and /usr/bin/tr are not suitable to build PolyORB. Your PATH must be set to that tr(1) is /use/xpg4/bin/tr or GNU tr. (However note that if you have GNU make in /usr/local/bin, then /usr/xpg4/bin must occur after /usr/local/bin in your PATH, since /usr/xpg4/bin/make is not suitable to build PolyORB.

So, assuming GNU make is installed in /usr/local/bin, a suitable PATH setting would be: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin.

Tru64 5.1A:

The default maximal data segment size may not be sufficient to compile PolyORB. If a GNAT heap exhausted error message occurs during build, try raising this limit using:

ulimit -d unlimited

AIX 5.2:

PolyORB must be compiled with the -mminimal-toc compiler switch. This is taken care of automatically by the PolyORB configure script.

The ’ulimit’ command may be needed as for Tru64 (see above).

HP-UX 11.00:

The version of install(1) from /opt/imake/bin on HP-UX is not suitable for installing PolyORB. Make sure that /opt/imake/bin is not on the PATH when building and installing PolyORB.
