Description Unknown 2003-02-25 23:26:44 UTC

Attempting to install on Solaris 8 and also on Solaris 9 for Intel.
Installation failed when at code that attempts to make a temporary directory:

TMPFILE = 'mktemp -q /tmp/S0.XXXXXX'

I changed the line to the following and the installation succeded after the
change:

TMPFILE = 'mkdir  /tmp/install/S0.XXXXXX'

Hi Kevin,
am I right that the install script isn't intended to be used on
Solaris? So it might be better to remove it from the Solaris sets?

Hi, 
 
The problem is there is no safe(race free) way to make temp file from a shell script under 
Solaris. 
 
They do not have a mktemp shell invokable command. 
 
We should then remove this script from Solaris for safety sake. 
 
I will add some code to the OOo 1.1 version of this script to abort if the uname includes 
Solaris to prevent a race attack from working on anyone on Solaris.

Hi,

Already committed a patch to remove "install" from Solaris builds
completely.

So resolving this as fixed.
