C. Kent Vidrine posted a message on -unavailable- with the following information on how to compile under Solaris 2.8:

"OK, it took some fiddling, but I was finally able to get the 2002-05-14 snapshot to compile and run on Solaris 8 on SPARC hardware. I'm writing this as feedback to the Swarm community with a few lessons learned.

I used the following software components:

  • gcc 3.0.2 with the objc.diffs patch from Jan 10, 2002
  • blt 2.4y with the blt*.tcl files accessible through the BLT_LIBRARY

environment variable

  • tcl/tk 8.3.4
  • xpm 3.4k
  • zlib 1.1.3
  • libpng 1.0.6
  • jdk 1.4.0
  • emacs 21.1
  • binutils 2.9.1
  • GNU sed 3.0.2
  • gperf 2.7
  • hdf5 1.4.8

My Swarm development language is Java and I'm using the Sun Java compiler and runtime environment.

I had major issues getting the swarm.jar to build properly. The Swarm compilation to native code went just fine. The part of the build that uses emacs to run java-stub.el, where the Java stubs get built, failed if I tried to build Swarm with any version of gcc except 3.0.2 with the patch. Previous postings on this mailing list made it quite clear that 3.0.2 with the patch was necessary. Getting gcc 3.0.2 to build was the major time sink because I kept running into issues with the assembler and linker."

Firstly, best to try a snapshot release, 2.1.1 is still the stable release, but it's getting old and we're unlikely to backport fixes to it, snapshot releases can be found at:

ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/testing/

and the latest is: swarm-2002-05-14.tar.gz

Also make sure that you have all the dependencies installed, do you have Tcl/Tk and BLT for example?
