This section describes new installer features and known installation issues for this Sun Studio 8 release.
The batch_installer command and the uninstaller command allow you to install and uninstall the software product with minimal user interaction. See the Sun Studio 8 Installation and Setup Guide, available from the download page, for detailed information about batch installation and batch uninstallation.
If you have Forte Developer 6 software or Sun ONE Studio 7 software installed, be sure to follow the installation instructions and install the Sun Studio 8 software in a different directory. If you have Forte Developer 6 software or Sun ONE Studio 7 software installed in the same directory as Sun Studio 8 software, the uninstaller can mistakenly uninstall the wrong packages if you uninstall packages from either release.
If you have Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection software installed, you have two options for installing Sun Studio 8 software:
- The recommended option is to install the Sun Studio 8 software on top of the Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection software. By installing the Sun Studio 8 software in the same installation directory on the same system as the Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection software, you add newer tools and the integrated development environment (IDE) to your Sun ONE Studio 8 compilers and tools. Any patches you have applied to your Sun ONE Studio 8 compilers remain intact.
- Your other option is to install the Sun Studio 8 software on a different system than your Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection software. There are patches available for Sun Studio 8, some of which are the same as the patches for Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection. You can find a list of these patches at http://wwws.sun.com/software/products/studio/patches.html. This patch list is not available on http://sunsolve.sun.com.
Interrupting the installation of the Solaris OS patches causes a null pointer exception. Do not click the STOP button while the Web Start graphical user interface installation tool is adding Solaris OS patches.
If you are running the installation tool on Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition v1.2.2 (J2SE) in the Solaris 9 OS, the Dismiss button might not be visible in the Detail Information dialog box.Workaround:
Resize the dialog box to make the Dismiss button visible.
The -s option in the batch_installer command does not install a permanent serial number in this release. The option generates an expired temporary serial number.
To generate the 60-day trial serial number, do not specify the -s option when using the batch_installer command.
If you want to install the Sun Performance Library or Third-Party Source software, you must install these components in the same directory as the Sun Studio 8 component.
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.
It is necessary to set the DISPLAY environment variable, as described in the "Preparing to Install Using a Remote Display" section of the Sun Studio 8 Installation and Setup Guide even if you are running the batch installer or the command-line installer rather than the graphical user interface installer. If you do not set the DISPLAY environment variable before starting the batch installer or command-line installer to install using a remote display, the installation fails with the following error message:java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
The email_template.txt file incorrectly lists the URL of the product web site for Sun Studio 8 as http://www.sun.com/software/sundev/solde/index.html. The correct URL is http://www.sun.com/software/products/studio/index.html.
Before using the Sun Studio 8 Integrated Development Environment (IDE), read the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) readme, which is available through the documentation index page at installation_directory/SUNWspro/docs/index.html.
This document contains important information about setup tasks you might need to perform to ensure that the IDE operates correctly. These tasks include:
- Mounting installation directories for server-based components of the product
- Ensuring that the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition v1.4.2_02 (J2SE) technology is installed on your local system or available to you on the network
- Adding installation directories to your
$PATH
To start the IDE:
- Ensure that /installation_directory/SUNWspro/bin is in your $PATH and is in front of the path to any other release of Forte Developer software or Sun ONE Studio software.
- Type:
sunstudio &For information on the sunstudio command and its arguments, see the sunstudio(1) man page. To display the sunstudio(1) man page, you must have /installation_directory/SUNWspro/man in your $MANPATH.
If you are using the X-Designer software on Solaris OS 7 (x86 Platform Edition), you need patch 107651-08. You can download the patch from http://sunsolve.sun.com.
Before starting a debugging session on a Java program, turn on Java Language Support by choosing Tools -> Java Language Support. Leave Java Language Support on until you end the debugging session.
Turning Java Language Support on or off during a debugging session can result in the following problems:
- Data or information is not displayed in any of the debugger views
- Multiple sets of tabs are displayed in the Output window
If you have multiple files open in XEmacs, and choose File -> Exit XEmacs, a dialog box is displayed asking you "Active processes exist; kill them and exit anyway?" When you click Yes, XEmacs exits and you get a Java exception. If you then select GVim as your text editor, and attempt to open a file in GVim, you get a Java exception.
If you turn on Java Language Support and then try to display the table of contents of the online help by choosing, Help -> Contents, you get a Java exception.
Workaround:
Display the table of contents for a single helpset by choosing Help -> Helpsets, and choosing the relevant helpset from the Helpsets submenu.
Building with libldstab_ws.so or libCCexcept.so.1
If you use the libldstab_ws.so library or the libCCexcept.so.1 library to build a program or a shared library, keep in mind that anyone linking with your program or shared library needs to use a compiler or libraries that are compatible with the libldstab_ws.so library and libCCexcept.so.1 library. In other words, if you compile your application or shared library with version X of the compiler, users of your application or shared library must only use a compiler and libraries that are older or equal to version X. They cannot use newer compilers or libraries.
