[Tracker] Tracker on Solaris

[Frank Lahm <franklahm gmail com>]

Hi,

I succeeded in getting Tracker to build on Solaris 11, patches
attached in case anybody is interested. They are not really applicable
for upstream inclusion, but anybody facing the same task might
appreciate the pointers.

I'm using building and using 'master' from git.

I'm using the provided tracker-sandbox script for running Tracker.
Unfortunately this fails, tracker-control -s throws the following
error:

root solaris:~# /opt/tracker/bin/tracker\-control -s

Starting miners?
(tracker-control:15040): Tracker-CRITICAL **: Could not create proxy
on the D-Bus session bus, Error calling StartServiceByName for
org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Applications:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process
/opt/tracker/libexec/tracker-miner-fs exited with status 1
  ? File System (perhaps a disabled plugin?)

(tracker-control:15040): Tracker-CRITICAL **: No D-Bus proxy found for
miner 'org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Applications'
  ? Applications (perhaps a disabled plugin?)

I've pasted some the results of some debugging to pastie.org:

Using tracker-sandbox:

  <http://pastie.org/private/jvxvvg4ciwg2kibv6nuq1g>

Running libexec/tracker-miner-fs -v 3 -n:

  <http://pastie.org/private/jp8j0cdvy24lskokn4nncg>

trussing the dbus-daemon while calling tracker-control -s, split in two parts:

  <http://pastie.org/private/plcnoxd4lkay3lxrhkrufg>
  <http://pastie.org/private/nds6vkunbgxi8ows8w75uq>

I'd highly appreciate any hint. Otherwise I have to give up with
Tracker > 0.6.x and go back to trying to use the system 0.6.

Thanks!
