To build a binary of SysInfo for a system running a 64-bit kernel, you must have a compatible compiler. Sun Compiler 5.0 is the first Sun compiler to support this via the -xarch=v9 option. At the time this document was written there was no version of GCC which supports 64-bit compiles.
By default, the make will build a binary that runs on the local system. You can also force make to build a 64-bit binary on a 32-bit system and vice-versa. To build a 64-bit binary on a 32-bit system, set the environment variable KISA to be sparcv9. To build a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system, set KISA to be sparcv8. i.e. For csh users:
setenv KISA sparcv9For sh/ksh users:
KISA=sparcv9 export KISA
ConfDir Dirwhere Dir is the directory the *.cf files where installed in.
