I'm looking to rebuild Webstack 1.5 - specifically PHP - on Solaris 10, using the SS12u1 compiler. I'm looking to turn on some optimization flags (like -fast) to eke out a bit more performance from our T5140 platforms. Some very basic benchmarks showed us getting around 14% more speed from a -fast built PHP than just the baseline.
I'm trying to do this "right", and I'm running into a number of problems. Most I can work around, but I'm wondering what else I'm missing. For instance, the -xnorunpath compiler directive seems to prevent curl from even configuring successfully, but removing it lets me progress. Then the build trips over what seems to be missing/empty macros in adminlibs in other parts of the tree. Eventually I gave up and I'm just trying to get PHP built... but it's choking on the DTRACE patches. I'd really like to keep those, DTrace is just too useful. But linking fails with symbols like DTRACE_OBJECT_CREATE_ENABLED being undefined. Try as I might, I can't find where those are supposed to be found, not even on my OpenSolaris box. I've got /export/wstools checked out and everything inside is built (the basic instructions on the webpage didn't seem to mention that). I've got all the source under /shared/src/webstack, and I can cd into /shared/src/wsbuild and do a "gmake release-publish", and it gets MOST of the way through the build before choking on either curl, or adminlibs, or one of the others - depending on what hacks I've tried. To build this properly, what do I really need? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
