[slurm-dev] Re: Compiling SLURM on Solaris 11.2

[Blomqvist Janne]

Hi,

xcgroup.c (src/slurmd/common/xcgroup.c) handles the Linux-specific cgroups 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups) stuff. Judging from your error message 
it appears that the solaris mount() function is different from the Linux one. 
But it doesn't really matter anyway, since cgroups don't exist on Solaris so 
mounting a cgroup filesystem is pointless there. I guess the real bug is that 
there is some missing autotools-foo to not compile/link xcgroups.c on non-Linux 
platforms (perhaps substituting some dummy no-op xcgroups.c implementation or 
such?).

Hi all,

Does anyone have an idea about this problem? Both version 2.5.7 (which we use) 
and version 14.03.8 give me the following error:
xcgroup.c: In function ‘xcgroup_ns_mount’:
xcgroup.c:225:15: error: ‘MS_NOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
     MS_NOSUID|MS_NOEXEC|MS_NODEV, options))
               ^

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile SLURM on Solaris 11.2, but I'm having some trouble 
disabling certain Linux-specific features, such as everything related to 
cgroups. What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
