I think it to abstract to say what issues one have in general when porting from Open Source to openSolaris. I suggest to start with with a list of some examples. I have one example here,
Different API support between Linux and Solaris ==================================== What is it? When porting gnome-nettool to OpenSolaris, the biggest bit of the patch is to provide an API called, int getifaddrs(struct ifaddrs **ifap) That is pretty much well available on Linux/BSD. Not in Solaris. How to resolve it? - Appealed to the OpenSolaris community, and James Carlson came forwards with a patch which he did sometimes ago for a different project. Okay. Not a great technical resolution from my side. But the best technical resolution at the end :) I think if other people can chip in what they consider to be important and then sort them in a wiki will be interesting and useful resources. -Ghee > We are getting some ones from our patches repository, and your input is > also big helpful, I believe. > > > Thanks, > Henry > _______________________________________________ > desktop-discuss mailing list > desktop-discuss at opensolaris.org >
