D. Installation Information

This section describes new installer features and known installation issues for this Sun ONE Studio Compiler Collection release.

Easy Installation and Uninstallation With Batch Install Programs

The batch_installer command and batch-mode uninstaller program allow you to install and uninstall the software product with minimal user interaction. See the Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection Installation Guide for detailed information about batch installation and batch uninstallation.

Installing Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection Software in a Different Directory

If you have Forte Developer 6 software, Forte Developer 7 software, or Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection Early Access software installed, be sure to follow the installation instructions and install Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection Early Access 2 software in a different directory. If you have Forte Developer 6 software, Forte Developer 7 software, or Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection software installed in the same directory as Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection software, the uninstaller can mistakenly uninstall the wrong packages if you uninstall packages from either release.

Using Sun ONE Studio Compiler Collection Software With an IDE

For information on using the Sun ONE Studio Compiler Collection software with an IDE, see the Compiler Collection IDE Options Readme, which you can access through the documentation index page at /opt/SUNWspro/docs/index.html. If your compiler collection software is not installed in the /opt directory, ask your system administrator for the equivalent path on your system.

Interrupting Patch Installation

Interrupting the installation of the Solaris operating environment patches causes their removal.

Do not click the STOP button while the Web Start installation tool is adding Solaris operating environment patches. Clicking the STOP button causes the installer to execute a uninstall script that removes patches that would have been installed had the STOP button not been clicked. To recover, use the installer to reinstall any removed patches.

Possible Warning Message When Clicking Next in Welcome Panel

The following warning message might be displayed when you click Next in the Welcome panel. You can ignore this message. 
  
  Warning: 
  Name: HorScrollBar
  Class: XmScrollBar
  The specified scrollbar value is greater than the maximum
  scrollbar value minus the scrollbar slider size.

Uninstall of Sun ONE Studio 8 Connector to Forte Developer 6 update 2 Incomplete on SPARC Installations

Sun ONE Studio 8 Installation Guide, the connector is not completely uninstalled even though the uninstall log file shows Uninstall complete.

Workaround:

Use the pkgrm command as follows to uninstall the connector: 

pkgrm SPROkrypt

Note: The above situation is a special case. Do not use the pkgrm command to uninstall any of the other components of the Sun ONE Studio Compiler Collection software. Always use the provided uninstaller.

E. C and C++ Compiler Issues

Enabling OpenMP[tm] parallelization with the -xopenmp option makes a program potentially multi-threaded, but the -D_REENTRANT flag is not passed to the compiler. The lack of the -D_REENTRANT flag causes some code (particularly the templates from the Standard C++ Library) to compile with thread synchronization disabled, which can result in programs silently getting wrong answers.

Workaround: Include the -D_REENTRANT flag on the compiler command line whenever you include the -xopenmp option.
