[Fedora-directory-users] Fedora DS 1.0.4 build on Solaris 10?

[Scott Ding]

I got the FDS installed on Solaris 10 by calling ds_newinst.pl with a
inf file. However, when I tried to start the FDS, I got the following
error. It looks like I did not set up SSL correctly. Can anyone help?

[11/Sep/2007:16:05:13 -0700] - SSL alert: Security Initialization: NSS
initialization failed (Netscape Portable Runtime error -8174 - security
library: bad database.): path: /home/dings/fds/alias/, certdb prefix:

Rob,

We got the FDS compiled on Solaris 10 with NET-SNMP 5.4.1. The compiled
result contains the following files:

LICENSE.txt
README.txt
disktune
slapd.tar.gz


After I untar slapd.tar.gz, I got the following:

alias
manual
shared
bin
  - slapd
       - admin
       - server
       - install
       - property
       -lib
lib
plugins

I checked the Installation Guide. The instructions are based on RedHat.
Are there any installation instructions based on Solaris?

Regards,
Scott

In theory this should work ok.

I spent a little time many months ago to try to build it on Solaris 10
x86 and nearly got there before running out of time and I never got back
to it because I needed to reclaim the disk space :-(

I would recommend the manual build process defined at
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building . I would avoid the
"one-step build" because I suspect this is going to be very iterative
and while the auto-fetching is nice developing in that environment just
adds another layer of pain.

It is possible to build on Solaris with gcc, the trick is figuring out
the magic to tell the various components to use it. I think things like
NSS, NSPR and FDS itself use the env variable NS_USE_GCC. Set that to 1
and give it a go. There may be other tweaks required.

And note that the manual instructions just cover the server itself. For
console, the plugins, etc there is more to do.
