\section[Solaris 10]{Solaris 10}
\label{sec:solaris_10}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\thesection. Solaris 10}
Solaris 10 with external ZeroMQ 4.0.7 library and GNU tools (OpenCSW)
has be tested for \pkg{pbdZMQ} successfully. The \code{INSTALL.solaris}
has the steps which basically are
\begin{enumerate}
\item install GNU tools from OpenCSW using \code{pkgutil},
\item set path to GNU tools,
\item install external ZeroMQ 4.0.7 library using GNU tools, and
\item install \pkg{pbdZMQ} linked with external ZeroMQ.
\end{enumerate}
The steps are tested without too much time effort for further changes and
can quickly provide a compiled library and install the \pkg{pbdZMQ}.
I write down some considerations about ZeroMQ library here as a note in next.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Current, the ZeroMQ library on OpenCSW is 2.2.0 which is too old to
be compiled with \pkg{pbdZMQ}.
\item Newer ZeroMQ (> 4.0.7) can not be compiled with OpenCSW, there are
more bugs to fix for Solaris according github's pull request.
\item Using Sun CC is even more complicated because there are more
compile flags needed to take care first.
\end{enumerate}
\subsection[Have a Solaris 10?]{Have a Solaris 10?}
\label{sec:have_solaris_10}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{\thesubsection. Have a Solaris 10?}
It is easy and has a lot of fun.
\begin{enumerate}
\item
Install an Oracle VM VirtualBox which is available at
\url{https://www.virtualbox.org/}.
\item
Download a Solaris template from \\
\url{https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/solaris-098101.html}.
\item
Import the template to the VM.
\item
Boot and setup root password, internet, share drives, etc.
\item
Done.
\end{enumerate}
The next to do is having compilers by installing OpenCSW first, then
install libraries and software either from OpenCSW website or compile
them manually. One can have most GNU tools and \proglang{R} installed
from OpenCSW via \code{pkgutil} command, and compile ZeroMQ library externally
using those tools, then install \pkg{pbdZMQ} by linking with the compiled
ZeroMQ library. The details are given in the following Sections.
\subsection[OpenCSW]{OpenCSW}
\label{sec:opencsw}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{\thesubsection. OpenCSW}
The OpenCSW (\url{www.opencsw.org}) provides binary packages of GNU tools
for Solaris 10. Ideally, gmake, gcc, g++, autoconf, automake, gtar are
required which all available from the website. For example, the gcc is in
"gcc4core" package which can be installed with a few \code{pkgutil}
commands by
\begin{Code}
> pkgadd -d https://get.opencsw.org/now
> /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -U
> /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -y -i gcc4core
> /usr/sbin/pkgchk -L CSWgcc4core # list files
\end{Code}
Typically, the binary packages are installed under
\code{/opt/csw/}.
Make sure those GNU tools are also in the path and export it to
the environment. For example, I have
\begin{Code}
PATH=/opt/csw/gnu:/opt/csw/bin:/opt/csw/i386-pc-solaris2.10/bin:
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ucb
export PATH
\end{Code}
in a file name \code{set_path.sh}. Then, I set it to the environment by
\begin{Code}
> . ./set_path.sh
\end{Code}
I also have a symbolic link "make" to "gmake" to avoid configuration problems.
If not, use \code{ln -s} to make one.
Further, the \proglang{R} may not be easy to compile in Solaris 10, but the
binary package of \proglang{R} is also available in OpenCSW. It can be
installed by
\begin{Code}
> pkgadd -d https://get.opencsw.org/now
> /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -U
> /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -y -i r_base
> /usr/sbin/pkgchk -L CSWr-base # list files
\end{Code}
which has currently \proglang{R} version 3.1.1. It may be a little bit old,
but it is good enough for testing ZeroMQ and \pkg{pbdZMQ}.
The developing/daily version of \proglang{R} may not be easily compiled
by the OpenCSW.
\subsection[Compile ZeroMQ]{Compile ZeroMQ}
\label{sec:compile_zeromq}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{\thesubsection. Compile ZeroMQ}
The OpenCSW also has binary packages for ZeroMQ, named \pkg{libzmq1} and
\pkg{libzmq1\_dev}.
The package is a little bit out of date (version 2.2.0 built in 2012).
This old version is not comparable with current \pkg{pbdZMQ}.
The solution is to compile and install an external ZeroMQ 4.0.7
which available from \url{https://download.zeromq.org}.
This version 4.0.7 is the latest stable ZeroMQ version.
The newer versions of ZeroMQ, such as >= 4.1.0, may have more bugs
for Solaris 10.
I install the ZeroMQ library to \code{/work-my/local/zmq} with
the following commands.
\begin{Code}
> gtar zxvf zeromq-4.0.7.tar.gz
> cd zeromq-4.0.7
> ./configure --prefix=/work-my/local/zmq
> make
> make install
\end{Code}
There may have some warnings, but they are ok. The default installs
the share library which can be linked by \pkg{pbdZMQ}.
\subsection[Install pbdZMQ]{Install pbdZMQ}
\label{sec:install_pbdzmq}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{\thesubsection. Install pbdZMQ}
With the OpenCSW and external ZeroMQ 4.0.7 installed, I can install
\pkg{pbdZMQ} simply via
\begin{Code}
> R CMD INSTALL pbdZMQ_0.2-0.tar.gz \
--configure-vars="ZMQ_INCLUDE='-I/work-my/local/zmq/include' \
ZMQ_LDFLAGS='-L/work-my/local/zmq/lib -lzmq'"
\end{Code}
Then, the test can be done by
\begin{Code}
> Rscript -e "demo(hwserver,'pbdZMQ',ask=F,echo=F)" &
> Rscript -e "demo(hwclient,'pbdZMQ',ask=F,echo=F)"
\end{Code}
when the \pkg{pbdZMQ} installation is done correctly.
