building OS/Net on opensolaris

i use my desktop as my primary build machine, so i was a little surprised after upgrading my desktop to opensolaris i could no longer do full ON (aka OS/Net) nightly builds. i discovered that there were two problems. the first is a known bug:

6733971 Lint targets not POSIX shell (=ksh93) safe in OS/Net

which you can easily workaround by replacing /sbin/sh (which in opensolaris is ksh93) with the old sh from nevada. if you have access to SWAN the following commands, run as root, should fix the problem:

ver=`uname -v | sed 's:.*_::'` plat=`uname -p` rm /sbin/sh cp -p /net/onnv.eng/export/snapshot/onnv_$ver/proto/root_$plat/sbin/sh /sbin/

the second issue i ran into is a problem caused by missing wbem header files and .jar archives. this issue can be worked around by installing the following nevada packages:

SUNWadmj SUNWwbapi SUNWwbdev SUNWjsnmp SUNWwbcou

once again, if you have acces to SWAN, you can run the following commands to fix the problem:

plat=x; [ `uname -p` = sparc ] && plat=s ver=`uname -v | sed 's:.*_::'` dir=/net/netinstall.eng/export/nv/$plat/$ver/Solaris_11/Product pkgadd -d $dir SUNWadmj SUNWwbapi SUNWwbdev SUNWjsnmp SUNWwbcou
