Compilation problem on Solaris 11 on flock use

Solaris isn't supported here. You want a Solaris forum

Hi,

The documentation says it is expected to run on Solaris. Hence, it have to be build first.
The provided README says:

[...]
To build on SunOS, one requires GCC and GNU make, build using:
        CC=gcc gmake clean
        CC=gcc gmake
[...]

And I did exactly that. But the fact is, the syscall flock i s not supported on Solarish systems.
A proper, and more portable, syscall for those systems seems to be fcntl (as explained by the proposed link in my initial message).

BTW, it is not a Solaris problem per-se, but the fact that a syscall is used where not available on all platform.
I found no check code for that in the test programs, nor no ifdef for managing particular cases (for other OSes for example).
Last, the fix/workaround is well to be changed in code of stress-ng itself, nothing on Solaris side I would say--especially since it is supposed to run on it.

I just think I would have to find another tool for our stress tests.

Anyway thank you answering me.

You are using Solaris. Solaris isn't supported here. There are many distribution agnostic forums which support lots of distributions. This is Ubuntu only.

Hi,

OK, so, sorry for the noise.

BTW, the official page for stress-ng (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/stress-ng/) says that for bug report we have to go to this site:
"For bug reports, visit: Stress-ng at LaunchPad (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stress-ng)"

So, can someone please kindly redirect me to a not Ubuntu-only site regarding strees-ng maybe? Thank you in advance.

Maybe you could try contacting http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/

Hi,

OK, I will do that. Thank you for your answer.

I've pushed a fix to hopefully work around this for Solaris 11, please pull the fix and see if it helps.

Hi,

I tested with the "exclusion", and it now ends building the stress-ng binary. FYI, and FYI-only, here are some warnings I got (and which can be investigated later _if necessary_):

[...]

stress-fork.c: In function ‘stress_vfork’:

Anyway, I now have a working stress-ng to test/play with. Thank you very much.
