2.8 Platform notes

Solaris 2.8:

• /usr/bin/sed and /usr/ucb/sed will silently chop long lines, and /usr/xpg4/bin/sed will enter an endless loop while processing PolyORB files. GNU sed is required to configure and build PolyORB.
• /usr/ucb/tr does not handle control character escape sequences: it cannot be used to recompute dependencies ('make depend'); /usr/bin/tr or /usr/xpg4/bin/tr must be used.

Tru64 5.1A:

The default maximal data segment size may not be sufficient to compile PolyORB. If a GNAT heap exhausted error message occurs during build, try raising this limit using:

     ulimit -d unlimited

AIX 5.2:

PolyORB must be compiled with the -mminimal-toc compiler switch. This is taken care of automatically by the PolyORB configure script.

HP-UX 11.00:

The version of install(1) from /opt/imake/bin on HP-UX is not suitable for installing PolyORB. Make sure that /opt/imake/bin is not on the PATH when building and installing PolyORB.
