Compilation issue on Solaris 9 with CC version 5.9

[vikram]

Hello Guys,

I have generated protocol buffer header files and source files
from proto and compiled those with include files on linux without any
issues. Here I am trying to use same source files with same include
directory but on solaris so I have encountered following problems.
Does anyone have same issues while working with protobuf 2.1.0

(*)() in call to pthread_once(_once*, extern "C" void(*)()) is being
passed void(*)().

The warnings look harmless (it's complaining about the trailing comma after the last value in an enum).

The errors suggest that your compiler is not very good with templates.  The line of code is:

  return ::google::protobuf::internal::ParseNamedEnum<FieldDescriptorProto_Type>(

Apparently your compiler doesn't recognize that ParseNamedEnum is a template.  What compiler are you using?

I use 2.1.0 on solaris with sun studio compiler all the time. The thing is, you cannot use Cstd, you must use stlport4. I already have the protobuf configure script injecting the CXXFLAGS for that, but if you are overriding them, it's gonna get ugly. Grep through the m4 files for stlport4 and you should see what they are (I'm on a plane else I would paste the flags you need)

If there is another issue here, I'll be interested to hear about it. If that doesn't fix it, could you show the entire compiler invocation line?

Re-opening a very old thread here!

I am trying to build protocol buffers 2.3.0 on solaris using CC: Sun C++ 5.7 2005/03/01.

The configure command I have used is:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/protobuf-2.2.0 --without-zlib --disable-64bit-solaris CFLAGS=-m32 PROTOBUF_OPT_FLAG=-O3 CXXFLAGS="-m32 -g -DNDEBUG -fno-exceptions -library=stlport4 -xlibmil -xdepend -xbuiltin -mt -compat=5 -library=Crun -template=no%extdef" LDFLAGS=-m32

I get a fair way through on the compilation but then get the unexpected type errors as above, even though I am using stlport4 - my error output is:

libtool: compile:  CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -D_REENTRANT -O3 -m32 -g -DNDEBUG -fno-exceptions -library=stlport4 -xlibmil -xdepend -xbuiltin -mt -compat=5 -library=Crun -template=no%extdef -c google/protobuf/descriptor.cc

*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `descriptor.lo'

Can anyone offer any ideas on what I need to do to get this sorted out?

Thanks.
