[Coin-discuss] Compile BCP 1.0 on SunOS 5.10

[Lou Hafer]

Dan,

	I'm testing this on Solaris 5.10, with Sun/Studio 11 compilers, using
the stable/1.0 revision checked out from subversion. Looks like you're using the 
release tarball 1.0.0. I'm hoping there are no significant differences.

	The immediate cause of your problem is that Solaris doesn't define 
strlen, etc, in cstring; it prefers string.h. If you add the line

#include <string.h>

immediately below #include <cstring> in BCP_string.hpp, the main compile will
go through without error.

	But ...  if you try to build the test, you'll run into another problem,
a complaint that the file config_coinutils.h cannot be found.  The proper fix
for this requires a correction to test/BAC/Makefile.am (adding COINUTILSOBJDIR
to the include path) , which means you'll need to run the Gnu autotools, which
means you'll need to upgrade CoinUtils, which means ...  well, you probably
don't want to get into it (but email me if you do, and I'll finish the story).
Instead, try this ...  at some point before you run `make test', copy the file

build/CoinUtils/inc/config_coinutils.h

to

CoinUtils/src

That should allow the test to compile and run.

	Hope this does it for you; post again if you run into trouble.
