How to build WineLib on Solaris

WineLib build instructions

I built WineLib on Solaris (both x86 and sparc platforms) last week. Most of the build issues on x86 were resolved by patchkit available at [1] .

There were certain issues specific to sparc platform related to opengl and assembler which were resolved later after searching Wine Headquarters [2] and a9/google. I was able to run simple apps like notepad and wordpad.

I have used 'gcc' to build WineLib.

WineLib build issues/resolution :-

(a) A very first error you can face is

Undefined first referenced symbol in file

GetStartupInfoA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o)

GetModuleHandleA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o)

GetCommandLineA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o)

WinMain ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o)

ld: warning: Symbol referencing errors

The above error and lots lots of other errors can be definitely removed by applying the wine patches (specifically 20051015) available at [3] . For x86 this patchkit is sufficient. And for sparc too, it'll resolve lots of issues. So, make sure you implement the complete changes.

(b) Errors while building on sparc :-

“activeds.AtyNYe.s: Assembler messages:

activeds.AtyNYe.s:171: Error: operation combines symbols in different segments

activeds.AtyNYe.s:172: Error: operation combines symbols in different segments”

This will go away by applying patch for "wine/tools/winebuild/import.c" as available at,

[4]

(c) Make sure that you have xorg mesa packages installed.
