Hi,

Can i get NSPR 4.1.2 build on SParc for Solaris5.8.

I tried building from the sources and am getting all sorts of errors.

Thanks

NSPR 4.1.2 is very old. It may predate Solaris 8 (5.8), which is
probably why you have trouble building it on Solaris 8.

Please try building a recent version of NSPR. You can download
the source distributions from
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/nspr/releases/

The last version of NSPR for which we provide binary distributions
is NSPR 4.6.4:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/nspr/releases/v4.6.4/

I tried to do an NSPR build on Solaris8 from the sources.

My Sun C++ Compiler doesn't work and gives me some license server
error(server is down or not responding, even though lmgrd seems to be
running...any ideas anyone???)

So I switched to using gcc to build NSPR using "make NS_USE_GCC=1"(I don't
remember the exact flag).

Now it compiles with gcc but I get a compile error immediately.

-MD option not recognized.

The NSPR version I am using is 4.7.4.

Can anyone throw some light on this.

Thanks

What version of the Sun compiler ?

You should be able to download the latest studio 12 from www.sun.com ,
without running into license server issues.

While it should work, gcc is not the compiler we use on Solaris to build
NSPR, so build issues with gcc on Solaris will get less attention from
us than with Studio on Solaris .
