Compilation / running problems on sparcstations

Relevant classes: solaris Older sparc stations use an architecture called Version 8, while new ones have Version 8+. With newer gcc compilers, version 8+ code is automatically generated, but this will not run on older architectures. ./cfagent Cannot run binary file To make a compatible version for older systems, you need to specify the compiler option -mv8, i.e. configure make CFLAGS="-g -O2 -mv8" make install You must also make sure that all libraries are compiled with version 8 support! OpenSSL is a bit weird: ./Configure solaris-sparcv8-gcc make install Back to documentation
