Correct - anything in /usr/sfw or /opt/sfw is from a Software Companion CD. > /java/devtools/sparc/bin/gnumake is 3.78.1 > > I presume the devtools version will be updated to 3.81 ? > > Updating /usr/sfw/bin/gmake seems less clear ... The sfw SVR4 packages are on the way out, and OpenSolaris is on the way in with a new package management system called IPS: /usr/bin/pkg For the command line version /usr/bin/packagemanager For the GUI For the release formerly known as 'Nevada', sometimes called 'Solaris 11', now known as 'OpenSolaris', /usr/sbin/pkgadd will continue to work with the old style SVR4 packages for a few more Solaris builds, but that will end in a few months. The few things in Nevada that could not be open sourced for some reason have been moved to a different server called 'extras': See http://blogs.sun.com/frontline/entry/using_opensolaris_extras_support_repositories for external user facing instructions, and http://infoshare.sfbay/twiki/bin/view/OpenSolaris/ExtraContentRepository for the internal user instructions. My OpenSolaris 2009.06 system has: % which gmake /usr/bin/gmake % gmake -v GNU Make 3.81 Installed via: pfexec pkg install SUNWgmake The new OpenSolaris pkg system is showing a lot of promise, and the old SVR5 tools had been pushed so far they were beyond problematic.
