NSS Compilation on Solaris

You need CC or gcc compiler when you compiling the NSS

We prefer the CC or cc compiler wich comes with solaris studio, you can download solaris studio from oracle site.

Un zip the solaris studio and set path to compiler CC or cc

export PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/SolarisStudio12.3-solaris-sparc-bin/solarisstudio12.3/bin:$PATH

export CFLAGS=-m32

export CXX=CC

export CC=cc

Go to nss folder
cd nss

Compilation command :

gmake nss_build_all 
or
gmake BUILD_OPT=1 NSPR_INCLUDE_DIR=/root/nss/ USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB=1 ZLIB_LIBS=-lz nss_build_all



Trouble shoot issues while compilation

Issue 1:

ld.so.1: certutil: fatal: libssl3.so: open failed: No such file or directory

Solution:
reinevm01: # ldd certutil
        libssl3.so =>    /lib/libssl3.so
        libsmime3.so => /lib/libsmime3.so
        libnss3.so =>    /lib/libnss3.so

check the symbolic link for the certuitl and add the lib path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Issue 2:

checking whether the C compiler works... no

configure: error: in `/home/kanmu03/nss-3.20/nspr':

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Solution:

Add the solaris studio bin folder path in $PATH

Issue 3:

ld: fatal: library -lplc4: not found

ld: fatal: library -lplds4: not found

Solution:

Goto 

nss-3.20/dist/SunOS5.10_DBG.OBJ/lib/

bash-3.2# ldd libplc4.so

ldd: libplc4.so: cannot open file: No such file or directory

bash-3.2# ls -ltr

All are soft links here and soft links path are incorrect here. please copy the original so files created in below.

cd nss-3.20

bash-3.2# cp nspr/lib/libc/src/libplc4.so dist/SunOS5.10_DBG.OBJ/lib/

bash-3.2# cp nspr/lib/ds/libplds4.so dist/SunOS5.10_DBG.OBJ/lib/

cp nspr/pr/src/libnspr4.so dist/SunOS5.10_DBG.OBJ/lib/

Issue 4:

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to libnspr4.so

Solution:

Go to nspr folder and Build nspr with 

./Configure

Issue 5:

gmake[4]: ../../../config/./nsinstall: Command not found

solution:

If you start compilation with NSPR then this error will through 

so don't do first nspr build ,

Do NSS build only from nss folder.

cd nss

gmake BUILD_OPT=1 NSPR_INCLUDE_DIR=/root/nss/ USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB=1 ZLIB_LIBS=-lz nss_build_all
