The util library was added recently because of the new shell substitution functionaly, which requires the forkpty() function call. If you know in which library the forkpty is available on solaris, the makefile could be adjusted accordingly. If the forkpty is not available at all, we have to disable the shell substitution under solaris via conditional compilation. |

See the config manual and look for $shell |

That worked some time ago, but did not work currently. So I fixed that in the current SVN version. |

Stefan, I found the following "forkpty()" replacement for running under Solaris. The URL is http://www.developerweb.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2990.
Perhaps this can be used unless someone comes up with a Solaris "util" library.
#ifdef SOLARIS /* Use the code in my_forkpty.c */
int my_forkpty (int *amaster, char *name, void *unused1, void *unused2);
#define forkpty my_forkpty
#endif
-----------------------
my_forkpty.c
-----------------------
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/stropts.h>
/* fork_pty() remplacement for Solaris.
* This ignore the last two arguments
* for the moment
*/
int
my_forkpty (int *amaster,
char *name,
void *unused1,
void *unused2)
{
int master, slave;
char *slave_name;
pid_t pid;
master = open("/dev/ptmx", O_RDWR);
if (master < 0)
return -1;
if (grantpt (master) < 0)
{
close (master);
return -1;
}
if (unlockpt (master) < 0)
{
close (master);
return -1;
}
slave_name = ptsname (master);
if (slave_name == NULL)
{
close (master);
return -1;
}
slave = open (slave_name, O_RDWR);
if (slave < 0)
{
close (master);
return -1;
}
if (ioctl (slave, I_PUSH, "ptem") < 0
|| ioctl (slave, I_PUSH, "ldterm") < 0)
{
close (slave);
close (master);
return -1;
}
if (amaster)
*amaster = master;
if (name)
strcpy (name, slave_name);
pid = fork ();
switch (pid)
{
case -1: /* Error */
return -1;

close (master);

Ok, I put your code into the current SVN revision (1656). Unfortunately I cannot try it due to the lack of a Sun. Maybe you can try and tell me if it's working.

Actually, what I will be delivering is a new Makefile with conditional compile statements plus the C code module since the example that I provided need some cleaning. Since I don't have a Linux system on which to test the conditional compile completely I would need you to do that. Sound ok?

Sure. I put already the conditional compiling into the current Makefile, so just try it. I tested the Linux part, which is ok. If you could test the Solaris part, that would be great. |
