The Solaris Port of Sage

This page tracks the Solaris port of Sage.

mabshoff is currently working on a 32 bit build on Solaris 9/Sparc. It should run on Solaris 10/Sparc.

History of efforts

  • 2.8.14:
    • new bug in matrix code that provides a special class for multivariate polynomials as entries causes segfaults all over the map.
    • int_fast64_t needs to be 4 bytes large, otherwise Sage throws an exception at startup. This needs fixing and actually causes doctest failures with the modp code
    • libfplll miscompiles, fix clear, but needs to be merged upstream
    • FLINT miscompiles, fixed upstream
    • lcalc miscompiles, fixes need to be integrated
    • clisp compiles, but segfaults. Solution: use 2.39 binary until issue is solved
    • cvxopt doesn't work (complex.h missing)
    • 2-3 patches are needed to sage.spkg - easy fixes, need to be merged upstream
    • failed doctest: number of partitions broken - maybe fpu precision issues
    • failed doctest: Schubert polynomial triggers error in symmetrica
  • 2.8.3:
    • worked reasonably well after workarounds, about 10-12 doctest failures
    • work arounds needed: clisp, lcalc
    • missing/failed spkgs: cvxopt
  • pre 2.8:
    • various people (David Kirby) worked on this, but I am not sure if Sage ever passed 100% of doctests

ToDo

  • make doctests pass 100%
  • open track tickets for all known issue
