Installing OpenIndiana to get at least a degree of Solaris compatibility
Last tested with 0.94.
For production use:
- xz
- As of 2011/05/14, there was no xz in pkg, so build one.
- You can build xz 5.0.2 on OpenIndiana using: ./configure gl_cv_cc_visibility=no && gmake
- OpenIndiana (Solaris) has a GNU find in /usr/gnu/bin, so you can get file-capacity-based progress if
you want.
Test/development notes:
- Probably want to improve your path in ~/.bashrc while bootstrapping:
- export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/gcc/4.3/bin:$PATH
- It helps mrxvt to "infocmp rxvt > /tmp/rxvt.ti" on an Ubuntu system and tic rxvt.ti on the openindiana
- pkg install gcc-43
- pkg install versioning/subversion
- pkg install mercurial
