I hate digging up old threads, but I need help on this one. It is getting to a stage where I am considering leaving the solaris bootcamp and moving to something else, more-so because I simply cannot find my way around.
Just to rehash, I am using Indiana, and I need some form of file verification tool. md5sum does not work recurrently and it seems that passing anything to it using xargs or the like has problems with spaces in the filenames eg: I thought this would work, but doesn't: find /maindir/subdir | xargs md5sum The main reason for this is spaces in the filename and both xargs and find do not support the null terminating option found in other distros. So I am back to the drawing board and would like to get md5deep working instead, as it supports what I am after. But I have never been able to compile it on Indiana. When I try installing/reinstalling gcc I am assured by the system it IS there, but (from elsewhere) I can assume it's only the libraries, but need the whole thing to be installed so I can compile apps. I know there is something a miss when i try and "./configure " md5deep I get the "configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check" error. i anything is losing sanity here, it's not opensolaris. If someone could walk me thru what I need to look for and how to actually do this (maybe even install md5deep on your system) I would be most appreciative Regards note: I thought I posted this a few hours ago, but haven't seen it up in the forum yet, so I have dug this out of my history, sorry if it is a duplicate and I just cannot see it This message posted from opensolaris.org
