Hi folks, on my sun, cms119_hpw[199]> uname -a SunOS suncms119 5.8 Generic_108528-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 when typing 'gmake libmap', I get the following: .... grep: illegal option -- q Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . . grep: illegal option -- q Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . . grep: illegal option -- q Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . . grep: illegal option -- q Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . . grep: illegal option -- q Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . . grep: illegal option -- q Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . . grep: illegal option -- q Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . . grep: illegal option -- q Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .

"grep -q" is used in source/GNUmakefile for the target "libmap". The option -q is used to run the command in 'silent' mode: From "man grep" on sungeant (SunOS 5.7): -q Quiet. Do not write anything to the standard out- put, regardless of matching lines. Exit with zero status if an input line is selected. The command has changed in SunOS 5.8 ? To be verified. To verify if the libmap has been generated properly, you can try editing the file libname.map placed in <your-G4-installation-path>/lib/SUN-CC/ and see if for example the first line looks like the following: G4readout: G4globman G4digits G4event G4hits G4tracking G4intercoms G4run G4track G4geometrymng G4partman G4materials G4volumes G4procman G4detector
Hi folks, this was changed to fixed. Which tag shall I use in future, so I do not get the problem again? Many greetings, Hans-Peter.
The report infact has not been toggled to "FIXED", it is "ASSIGNED". Did you try the suggestions I made in my previous posting ? Cheers.
Hans Peter, is this not the usual problem of Solaris with its many versions of grep. The one in /usr/bin has NO -q option. The better grep is /usr/xpg4/bin/grep, and this has all the usual options. Do we need to protect for a bad (for G4) PATH set by the user by using an explicit PATH to grep on SUN in the Geant4 setup?
hmmmm, /usr/bin is in the default path, so I expect that many people will see the same problem. I would tend to try and take care of it. Many greetings, Hans-Peter.
We verified that the problem does not occur in the official reference system at CERN "refsol8" used for the certification of SunOS 5.8.
