7 years ago The last item above, "... runtest script is unable to find ...," is due to the Solaris Bourne Shell /bin/sh not supporting the -n option of the echo command. The runtest script uses echo -n to determine whether command line arguments should be interpreted as positional or as labeled (-) flags. See the following:
srorso@solaris113:~$ echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/bash
srorso@solaris113:~$ type echo
echo is a shell builtin
srorso@solaris113:~$ echo -n sample!
sample!srorso@solaris113:~$ /bin/sh
srorso@solaris113:~$ type echo

srorso@solaris113:~$ echo -n sample!

srorso@solaris113:~$The FreeBSD 11 Bourne Shell echo builtin does support -n, e.g.,

$Removing -n from the echo command restores runtest functionality on Solaris. Testing of -n removal is needed on other platforms.
Minor issues prevent building Hercules on Solaris. Specifically:
qeth.ddefines a functionstatic const char* sig2str( BYTE sig )that Solaris 11 defines asextern int sig2str(int, char *)in /usr/include/signal.h.Hercules: ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 Version 1, ..., a response not understood by runtest.When the above issues are patched, Hercules builds cleanly (using CMake) and can IPL DOS/360.
