Hi,
Stefan has backported HAL to Solaris 10u5, which
I think is awesome.
I've made some diffs to compile and package
Stefan's port of HAL to Solaris 10u5. Unfortunately
my earlier attempt to send them to the list was
blocked as they are larger than 40KB. Currently
there are some manual steps to compile it, so
its not quite ready yet, the status is:
(1) When packaging HAL, I do not know where to put:
/usr/etc/dbus-1/hal.conf
So I just placed it at the above location, no idea
if that is correct or not.
(2) The make goes into an infinite loop when it
tries to build po. I worked around it by the
follwing in configure.sh
# make in po goes into an infinite loop on my box, disable
# it for the moment to workaround this, since I do not know
# why it is looping. Also that is the only reason I added
# --disable-man-pages --disable-gtk-doc.
$KBE_PREFIX/bin/sed -i -e "s/ po //" Makefile
$KBE_PREFIX/bin/sed -i -e "s/ docprivileges//" Makefile
Of course that has the dis-advantage of no man pages or
documentation currently.
(3) Currently it fails building FOSShal with FOSSdbus,
as foss is missing dbus-glib-1, the error is:
No package 'dbus-glib-1' found
I guess we could add dbus-glib-1 to foss for when stock
Solaris 10u5 gnome 2.6 is used. I can not test it with
Solaris 10u5 gnome 2.6 though, as I trashed gnome 2.6
from my machine. Also I am not sure which dbus-glib-1
to add. Well apart from the idea of bumping foss glib2 and
dbus to the versions that JDS gnome 2.22, and adding
the corresponding dbus-glib, the JDS gnome 2.22 versions are:
glib2 2.16.3
dbus 1.2.1
dbus-glib 0.74
But I don't know if KDE cares about the versions of these
gnome base libraries or not.
(4) Currently I am building hal as SUNWhal using the
following procedure:
perl Respect.pl --with-all --without-upload --without-build hal.pspc
cp -p FOSShal.spec SUNWhal.spec
sed -i -e "s/FOSShal/SUNWhal/g" SUNWhal.spec
pkgtool build SUNWhal.spec
And then as root:
# svcadm enable hal
#
Then svcs -vx hal should show it running:
# svcs -vx hal
svc:/system/hal:default (Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon)
State: online since Sat May 31 12:32:32 2008
See: man -M /usr/man -s 1M hal
See: /var/svc/log/system-hal:default.log
Impact: None.

I'm using SUNWgnome-base-libs and SUNWdbus from the
JDS gnome 2.22, compiled from spec files, from:
svn co svn+ssh://anon at
svn.opensolaris.org/svn/jds/spec-files/branches/gnome-2-22 gnome-2-22
This also has the advantage that some things from SFE:
http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/spec-files-extra/
like mplayer, compile on Solaris 10u5.
(5) I tried to tweak things though so that if
SUNWgnome-base-libs and SUNWdbus are not installed, then
it tries to compile it as FOSShal. However it does not
quite compile at present like that due to (3).
(6) I had to add libfstyp from OpenSolaris as FOSSlibfstyp,
since it is missing from Solaris 10u5 (or at least it is
from my box, it is not in SUNWhea which is installed).
I've attached the diffs for this in case any one would
like to test, comment, etc.
There are some other little things in the diffs:
(7) Mindless change to rm lib*.a files in various
install.sh scripts.
(8) Some stuff to change /bin/sh to /bin/bash, which
is only required if libtool 2.2.4 was used. It
would probably not hurt with libtool 1.5.X, but
I haven't tested it. Anyway, if you don't want
those change I can svn revert them. I've compiled FOSS
up to and including FOSSlibshout with libtool 2.2.4,
but we would probably like to pretend that libtool
doesn't exist, so can understand if you want to
stay with the hacked libtool 1.5.X for most stuff.
If I hit any libtool issues though probably the first
thing I will try is libtool 2.2.4. Its requirement for
/bin/bash is kind of annoying. I've had problems
earlier with trying to fix issues in the old libtool.
(9) libcaptury need /amd64 or whatever the 64 bit
/$_arch is added to the end of the output for:
pkg-config --libs "xfixes >= 1.0.0"
(10) CTL needs some extra #includes when compiled with -g .
(11) Use SFElibcdio instead of FOSSlibcdio is SFElibcdio
is installed.
(12) jasper built %{_bindir}/jiv.
(13) dirmngr, I had problems compiling it with the hacked
libtool 1.5.X earlier when compiling for 64 bit amd64,
I submitted these diffs earlier to fix that. So not sure
if anyone needs these now or not.
Thanks, Mark
