Sage 3.0.4 and earlier on Solaris

Note: This page is outdated. Please check the main Solaris bit porting page for the current status.

The list below is here to document the history of the Solaris port:

• 3.0.1-3.0.4: misc fixes
• 3.0:
  • fix lcalc build on Solaris
• 2.11:

  • add Solaris 9 specific stdint.h workaround since Solaris 9 only supports a draft standard of C99. Solaris 10 has no such problem - 32 bits only so far

• 2.10.4:
  • no significant changes
• 2.10.3
  • start of integrating 64 bit build support - this will take a while to get in
• 2.10.2:
  • same as 2.10.1 since the emphasis wasn't on this port this release.
• 2.10.1:
  • drop in of stdint.h in $SAGE_LOCAL/include makes everything compile up to libfplll
  • fix libfplll build issue [spkg at 1957, merged in 2.10.1.rc2]
  • known issue: ATLAS screws up the combined Lapack+ATLAS dynamic library build. Maybe this is ld related?

  • because of the above issue numpy cannot be imported properly. Creating an liblapack.so manually from liblapack.a and rebuilding numpy makes numpy work

  • rpy doesn't build: error: conflicting types for 'uintptr_t' - probable cause is 32 bit vs 64 bit issues

  • fix rubiks build issue [spkg at 1959, merged in 2.10.1.rc2]
  • apply sage-lib build fixes from #1328 and #1329. Make sure to copy solaris_fix.h also into sage/rings [merged in 2.10.1.rc3]
• 2.8.15:
  • The release has many Solaris specific fixes, but we need to fix #1325 before we will have something that can be used as a beta build.
• 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 Kirkby) worked on this, but I am not sure if Sage ever passed 100% of doctests
