-OTP R4B b1 UnixWare Release Notes
-------------------------------------
-
-Kent Boortz
-
-This is an *unsupported* release of OTP to UnixWare 2.1.2.
-In fact, it should not be considered a release or a product at all,
-it is a demo what a real release could look like.
-
-Questions should be directed directly to
-
- Kent Boortz
-
-Changes or problems:
-
- * There is no documentation as part of this release.
- Use the R5B documentation that comes with the
- Solaris release.
-
- * To run older graphical tools based on 'pxw' like
- 'xerl' and 'interpreter' you have to add
- "/usr/X/lib" to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
-
- * The OTP test cases looks reasonable well considering the
- short time I had to do the port. The tests of the base
- system gives equal results than on Solaris. There are
- some problems with the 'ic' application (CORBA) and there
- may be some 'mnesia' problems (the tests where not completed
- when I wrote this note)
-
- * OTP normally try to handle IP host name lookups
- by itself, parsing /etc/hosts and other configuration
- files. This is done because the normal calls like
- gethostbyname() is blocking. In this UnixWare port
- the normal gethostbyname() is used and if a reply
- from the name server takes some time this may block
- the OTP system from doing other tasks (it may be the
- case that it doesn't block the whole system, it may
- just keep other Erlang processes that do DNS lookups
- waiting, I'm not sure).
-
- * The erl_interface library support varios types of threading
- This is not supported in the OTP UnixWare release.
-
- * If you use gcc you compile and link dynamic drivers with
-
- gcc -fPIC -c foo.c
- ld -G -t text -o foo.so foo.o
-
- With the UnixWare C compiler I belive it will be
-
- gcc -KPIC -c foo.c
- ld -G -t text -o foo.so foo.o
-
- * The default shell limits was a problem when I was running
- some large tests. These limits can be changed by building
- a new kernel. To enable unlimited use of virtual memory
- and data you do as root
-
- % /etc/conf/bin/idtune SDATLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
- % /etc/conf/bin/idtune HDATLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
- % /etc/conf/bin/idtune SVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
- % /etc/conf/bin/idtune HVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
- % /etc/conf/bin/idbuild
-
- When you reboot a new kernel will be built.
-
- * I didn't give the system enough swap space. You can add
- swap on an ordinary file. To add about 100 MB more swap
- you do as root
-
- % dd < /dev/zero > /moreswap bs=512 count=200000
- % swap -a /moreswap 0 200000
-
- The first line will create a 100 MB file on the root partition
- and the second line will add this file as swap space. Note that
- the "swap" command is a bit buggy and may hang. Reboot UnixWare
- and try again.
-
-Internel notes on build the release
-
- * If the network addresses are changed you enter single user
- mode by hitting a key after the "Booting UnixWare..." and
- the beep. At the prompt
-
- BOOT# Hit return only to clear line
- BOOT# INITSTATE=S
- BOOT# go
-
- This will put you into single user mode. Find out ip address,
- default router and DNS server. At the shell prompt
-
- # /usr/local/bin/tcsh
- # setenv TERM vt100
- # cd /etc
- # vi resolv.conf
- < edit and save with :x! >
- # cd /etc/inet
- # vi hosts
- < edit and save with :x! >
- # vi config
- < edit and save with :x! >
- # cd /
- # shutdown now
-
- Now it should be possible to restart in single user mode.
- It may still have long timeouts because the NIS information
- is wrong. As root you do
-
- # ypinit -c
-
- and type in "arda" as NIS domain and "gandalf.du.uab.ericsson.se"
- as NIS server.
-
- * Prebuilding the release. Create a view with the -ncaexported option.
- See "http://otp/product/internal/test/doc/howto/export_view.html".
- Build a solaris release (optionally using a boostrap compiler)
-
- # cd /clearcase/otp/erts/autoconf; cm -V; cd ..
- # cm -V opt EMULATOR=jam BUILD_ALL=1 >& LOG.1
-
- * Create the directories for mount points and mount the view on
- the UnixWare machine.
-
- # mkdir -p /clearcase/otp; cd /clearcase/otp
- # mkdir erts internal_tools libraries system tools
-
- Use s script like
-
- #!/bin/sh
- HOST=$1
- VIEW=$2
- MOUNT=$HOST:/view/$VIEW/clearcase/otp
-
- mount -F nfs $MOUNT/erts $DIR/erts
- mount -F nfs $MOUNT/libraries $DIR/libraries
- mount -F nfs $MOUNT/tools $DIR/tools
- mount -F nfs $MOUNT/internal_tools $DIR/internal_tools
- mount -F nfs $MOUNT/system $DIR/system
-
- to mount the ClearCase VOBs.
-
- * Building the
- * Building the
-
- "/usr/X/lib" to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
-
- Had to patch the file
-
- /usr/local/lib/g++-include/_G_config.h
-
- not to define _G_HAVE_SYS_CDEFS 1
-
- Problems with pxw yacc
-
- yacc -dv -b i386-univel-sysv4.2MP/y parse.y
- UX:yacc: ERROR: Illegal option -- b
- UX:yacc: TO FIX: Usage: yacc [-wvVdlt] [-Q(y/n)] [-p driver_file] file
- gmake[6]: *** [i386-univel-sysv4.2MP/y.tab.c] Error 1
-
- Create some symbolic links (until got compiled libs for UnixWare)
-
- # cd crypt/src/ssleay
- # ln -s elibcrypto.so.i386-pc-solaris2.5.1 elibcrypto.so.i386-univel-sysv4.2MP
- # cd ssl/src/ssleay
- # ln -s i386-pc-solaris2.5.1 i386-univel-sysv4.2MP
-
- Run
-
- # ntpdate super.du.uab.ericsson.se
-
- now and then to set the time on the machine.
-
-
- Disabled HAVE_MULTICAST_SUPPORT from "drv/inet_drv.c", should be set in configure
-
- UnixWare want two arguments to 'ln'
-
- SkunkWare gcc, ln, tar, ..... required, make sure PATH points out them first
-
- The emulator has to be linked with "gcc -r -Wl,-Bexport " to be linkable
- with dynamic libraries.
-
- Tcl/Tk was compiled from
-
- tcl7.6p2plus.tar.gz
- tk4.2p2plus.tar.gz
-
- and the make-files where changed, see
-
- (not needed it seems, if not using gcc at least)
-
-
- VILL HA "-ly -ll" BARA PA PXW ???????
-
- You can view the limits of the Unix processes in
-
- /etc/conf/mtune.d/proc
-
