Remember to read the README

So I have the closed binaries which correspond to the new nfs41-gate up on osol. I grabbed a copy of that source and started a build up. And it failed.

My thoughts were that either:

  1. I hosed the push to osol and thus all of the source was not there.
  2. The recent switch to Sun Studio 12 is impacting me.

The first is justifiable paranoia and the second has happened to me before. So, I searched my blog (more than 51% of why I blog is to have an easy to search repository of tips, tricks, and efdups.) and found this tidbit: RTFR - Or make sure you do read all of the README. Now it wasn't a direct hit, but what the hey, while I'm here I should read that README.

And sure enought, it has something on the compiler switch:

   Please note that the compiler that comes with the Solaris Developer
   Express release is Studio 12, which is not the standard compiler
   for OpenSolaris code.  If you use Studio 12, you will need to set
   __SSNEXT to the null string in your environment file.  Please do
   report problems with Studio 12, particularly if the problem goes
   away when you use Studio 11 (the current standard compiler).

I'll rebuild with that change and see if it is a hit or the paranoia is justifiable after all.
