Hi, This is just in case anyone is interested in JDS gnome 2.22.2 on Solaris 10u5.
Stefan Teleman from the KDE4 project ported HAL to Solaris 10u5. Instructions for building it are at: http://www.users.on.net/~markwright/?x=entry:entry080603-090223 With HAL, JDS gnome 2.22.2 compiles and runs a lot better on Solaris 10u5. It does not compile easilly on Solaris 10u5 though. The diffs and sketch of how I built it, with OSS, compiz, but not Java (javah 1.6.0_06-b02 crashes) are at: http://www.users.on.net/~markwright/?x=entry:entry080608-000137 I have not tidied up or commented the diffs. I could do so if anyone was seriously interested in adding support for Solaris 10u5 to JDS gnome-2-22. Of course this is not the first time JDS gnome has been built on Solaris 10. Laca built it a year or so ago and those diffs were added into JDS. I built JDS gnome 2.20.1 about 6 months ago, but there didn't seem to be much interest in integrating diffs then. Those builds were without HAL, and my JDS gnome 2.20.1 build was with an incomplete X-Windows development environment. My JDS gnome 2.22.2 Solaris 10u5 build with HAL and a fixed X-Windows development environment: http://www.users.on.net/~markwright/?x=entry:entry080607-233147 runs much better. compiz is sort of strange, enabling it makes all the window title bars dis-appear. I didn't try to debug that. Ekiga has a problem with OSS, I will try and fix that soon. My build was on AMD64, I assume it would build on UltraSPARC as well, but I don't have a UltraSPARC. Thanks, Mark --
