  1. Release Notes
    2. 

  2. --------------
    3. 

  3. Hey folks, 
    4. 

  4. 

  5. I just went through the process of building and using the freeimage library
    6. 

  6. on Solaris 9.  Things don't work out of the box so I thought I would share my
    7. 

  7. experiences in case someone else wants to do the same.
    8. 

  8. 

  9. I'm using Solaris 9, and I have installed all the development libraries, make,
    10. 

  10. and the gcc 3.3.2 found on sunfreeware.com.
    11. 

  11. 

  12. You have to use the make from sunfreeware because the Solaris 9 make program
    13. 

  13. chokes hard on FreeImages makefiles.
    14. 

  14. 

  15. First thing I had to do was modify the main FreeImage makefile:
    16. 

  16. 

  17. 1. go to the $(SHAREDLIB): line and replace the $(CC) line with the following.
    18. 

  18. (there are 2 corrections)
    19. 

  19. 

  20. $(CC) -s -G -Wl,-soname=$(LIBNAME) -o $@ $(MODULES) $(LIBRARIES)
    21. 

  21. 

  22. The two changes are -G instead of -shared, and the = sign instead of a comma
    23. 

  23. after the -soname.
    24. 

  24. 

  25. 2. change INSTALLDIR = /usr/lib to INSTALLDIR = /usr/local/lib
    26. 

  26. 

  27. This is because the sunfreeware tools assume the libs being built will reside
    28. 

  28. in /usr/local/lib and thus set the default linker search paths to that.  Another
    29. 

  29. solution for this would be to use the -R and -L linker options, but I chose
    30. 

  30. the easy way :)
    31. 

  31. 

  32. That's it!  You can now use freeimage.   
    33. 

    34. 

  34. Also, if you have an autoconf/automake project that links against FreeImage,
    35. 

  35. you can use the following in your configure.in, it works rather well for me:
    36. 

  36. 

  37. AC_CHECK_LIB(freeimage-3.5.0, FreeImage_Initialise, [],
    38. 

  38.                                  [AC_MSG_ERROR([libfreeimage-3.5.0.so required and missing. See
    39. 

  39. http://freeimage.sourceforge.net.]) ])
    40. 

  40. 

  41. the AC_CHECK_LIB macro will not only find the library, it will automatically
    42. 

  42. link against it as well so you dont have to add it to your Makefile.am.
    43. 

  43. 

  44. I hope this helps someone!
    45.

  50. Installation
    51. 

  51. ------------
    52. 

  52. Note: You will need to have root privileges in order to install the library in the /usr/local/lib directory.
    53. 

  53. The installation process is as simple as this : 
    54. 

  54. 1) Enter the FreeImage directory
    55. 

  55. 2) Build the distribution : 
    56. 

  56. make -f Makefile.solaris
    57. 

  57. make -f Makefile.solaris install
    58. 

  58. 3) Clean all files produced during the build process
    59. 

  59. make -f Makefile.solaris clean
    60.

  61. Release Notes for Solaris/Sparc
    62. 

  62. --------------------------------
    63. 

  63. Under Solaris/Sparc, you will need to modify the following line : 
    64. 

  64. COMPILERFLAGS = -O3
    65. 

  65. modified into
    66. 

  66. COMPILERFLAGS = -O3 -DBYTE_ORDER=BIG_ENDIAN -D__BIG_ENDIAN__
    67.
