Eclipse 3.3 Solaris Motif build [message #321462]

I am trying to build Eclipse 3.3.1 for solaris 8 using motif. I built
Eclipse 3.3.1 from eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.3.1.zip using the
command:
build -os solaris -ws motif -arch sparc

The build went fine but when I tried running Eclipse I got an error about
finding libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0. This told me that the launcher for Eclipse
is the gtk version instead of the motif version. So I tried to copy all
the files from
features/org.eclipse.equinox.exectuable/bin/motif/solaris/sp arc into my
built Eclpise and I get the error:
"The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared
library"

Copying the launcher is basically a workaround for the build not working
properly. Does anyone have a fix to either one of these issues?

Thanks,

Dann

I don't know why the source build gave you a gtk launcher.
But the companion shared library is in the
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.motif.solaris.sparc fragment, make sure that
fragment is included.

It looks like the Equinox launchers no longer have a build for
solaris/motif/sparc. I will have to see if I can build my own.

They binaries are compiled, but the fragment itself isn't built.

Look in cvs for the fragment:
dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse/org.eclipse.equinox.launche r/fragments/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.motif.solaris.sparc

The fragment is there with the compiled shared library. You just need to build
the fragment itself like any other bundle gets built.

I don't see how to build the fragment. I am still learning how Eclipse is
built and the only direction I have currently is the main isntructions for
build all of eclipse. How do I build the individual fragment?

Thanks,

Dann

The build I have for Solaris, motif, sparc is now working. I had to make
a few changes to the ant build files to make it all work for me but in the
end it works. I will post what I did to make it work so anyone else can
use the same (as if anyone uses Solaris with motif anymore :-) ).

Thanks for you help Andrew. It is much appreciated.

Hi,

Trying to do the same here. ( Motif on Solaris 9 ). Did you post the steps anywhere? If not, could you please? Would save me a lot of time!

John

I've been trying the same but for 3.5.1 version. I've been successful at making this work. I've written down the steps on my blog :
