Porting CPM to Solaris 10

I am currently trying to port CPM to Solaris 10 (x86) with alot of support from Roland Buerk roland@h-f-f.de. Here is the documentation about the necessary steps.

• bzip2-1.0.5-sol10-x86-local.gz
• coreutils-7.1-sol10-x86-local.gz
• curl-7.19.4-sol10-x86-local.gz
• diffutils-2.8.7-sol10-x86-local.gz
• gettext-0.14.1-sol10-intel-local.gz
• gnupg-1.4.8-sol10-x86-local.gz
• gnupg-1.4.8-sol10-x86-local.gz
• gpgme-1.1.4-sol10-x86-local.gz
• libgpgerror-1.5-sol10-x86-local.gz
• libiconv-1.11-sol10-x86-local.gz
• libiconv-1.11-sol10-x86-local.gz
• libidn-1.12-sol10-x86-local.gz
• libintl-3.4.0-sol10-x86-local.gz
• libxml2-2.6.31-sol10-x86-local.gz
• ncurses-5.6-sol10-x86-local.gz
• openssl-0.9.8j-sol10-x86-local.gz
• readline-5.2-sol10-x86-local.gz
• zlib-1.2.3-sol10-x86-local.gz

• cdk (http://invisible-island.net/cdk/cdk.html)
• cracklib and wordlist (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cracklib)
• dotconf (http://www.azzit.de/dotconf/download/v1.0/dotconf-1.0.13.tar.gz)

To fix /usr/local/bin/ncurses5-config from the ncurses package run

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/bin/bash

./configure --with-ncurses
make
make install

CFLAGS="-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS" ./configure
make
make install

I used the hints from Linux from Scratch.

Starting in the cracklib source directory, assuming the wordlist is in ../cracklib-words-20080507.gz:

install -m 755 -d /usr/share/dict
install -m 755 -d /lib/cracklib
./install-sh -m 644 ../cracklib-words-20080507.gz /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words.gz
gunzip -v /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words.gz
ln -s cracklib-words /usr/share/dict/words
echo $(hostname) >> /usr/share/dict/cracklib-extra-words
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/sbin/create-cracklib-dict /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words /usr/share/dict/cracklib-extra-words

./configure --with-ncurses --with-cdk-dir=/usr/local --with-cracklib-dict=/usr/local/share/cracklib/pw_dict
