[Mapserver-users] Building MapScript under Solaris

[Don Wolski]

Hi.  I'm trying to build and install Mapserver w/ MapScript.  The main Mapserver build seems to go OK, and MapScript seems to compile OK (but with some warnings like 

php_mapscript_util.c: In function `_phpms_fetch_handle2':
php_mapscript_util.c:147: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

and 

php_mapscript.c: In function `php3_ms_shapefile_getshape':
php_mapscript.c:10463: warning: int format, long int arg (arg 3)

), but when it tries to build the shared library, it seems (to me) to be unable to resolve a bunch (13,000) symbols, including ones that should be in the std libs.  I've forced the c++ command to look every lib directory I could think of, but the results are the same.  The symptom of my problem is that I get the message 

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections

when the package's Makefile uses c++ to build a shared library after compiling the .o's, details below.

Should I be specifying /usr/lib before /opt/sfw/gcc-3/lib?  Should I be using gcc 2.95.3?  Do I need to install a libc in addition to /usr/lib/libc*?  Am I completly off-base about what the error msg means?

The system I am using is complete Solaris 9 (12/03 update, w/ recommended patches as of Feb 9) plus the Companion Disk (a bunch of GNU and other F/OSS which get installed in /usr/sfw and /opt/sfw, and which Sun compiles with its proprietary compilers).

I do not have the Sun proprietary compilers, and am using gcc 3.3 instead.

/usr/local is a symlink to /opt/local.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

The builds of php_mapscript_util.o, php_mapscript.o, and  mapscript_i.o seem to go OK.  The building of php_mapscript.so is where it fails:
