Riak build notes on UltraSparc-60 64Bit

OpenCWS

The following packages need to be installed before compiling erlang:

gcc4core
gcc4g++
gmake
unixodbc, unixodbc_dev
libssl_dev

It's required to add "/opt/csw/bin" to the path of the environment.

Erlang

Configure

It's highly recommended to install "libssl_dev" from OpenCSW before compiling erlang because otherwise the crypto module will not be build. See the additional configuration options required to make sure, that erlang is build with the installed SSL library.

Configure may complain about a missing "ar" tool. OpenCWS has probably installed GNU ar -- gar. It's possible to tell configure to use gar instead of ar by executing configure with the AR variable set.

AR=gar \
RANLIB=granlib \
DED_LD=ld \
DED_LDFLAGS="-64 -G -L/usr/lib/64 -L/usr/ucblib/sparcv9 -R/usr/ucblib/sparcv9" \ 
./configure --with-ssl=/opt/csw --disable-dynamic-ssl-lib \
    --enable-m64-build --with-odbc=/opt/csw \
    --without-wx

Riak

It's required to specify the CC and CXX environment variables when running gmake:

CC="gcc -m64" CXX="g++ -m64" gmake rel

erlang_js

But gmake will fail after a while. Next it's required to modify the patch named "js-src-config-SunOS5.10.mk.patch" and create a new patch named "js-src-config-SunOS5.5.mk.patch" in the directory "deps/erlang_js/c_src/patches/"

The Makefile in "deps/erlang_js/c_src" needs to following change:

New leveldb

Because in 1.7.0 sparcv9 is supported.

cd deps/eleveldb/c_src
rm -rf leveldb

wget http://leveldb.googlecode.com/files/leveldb-1.7.0.tar.gz

gtar xfvz leveldb-1.7.0.tar.gz

After the modifications execute "gmake" in the "leveldb" directory. After leveldb is build, cd into "~/riak-1.x" and run the gmake to build riak again.

After riak is successful build, cd into ~/riak-.../rel/ and move the "riak" folder in
