Hi, After reading a post about another FPC developers trying to get a development system up and running under Solaris 10, I got curious. I downloaded OpenSolaris 2010.03 (dev 134). Installation was painless inside VirtualBox. Downloaded FPC's 2.4.4 release for Solaris. Installation was the easiest ever using that extra install script! [Yes even easier than under Linux or Windows] :)
I then went ahead and installed git and GNU binutils packages, so I can get some source code and so that FPC can link executables. Again nothing difficult there. I pulled source code for fpGUI from the repository, and fired off the build.sh script. One minor compiler error that I quickly fixed. Reran the build script. Oh yeah!!! 2nd compile and it worked perfectly! :-D I went ahead and compiled a few more apps: The UIDesigner (fpGUI's visual form designer), fpgIDE (an example project resembling and IDE) and a few other example projects. They all worked without a hitch! Here are some screenshots. http://opensoft.homeip.net:8080/~graemeg/fpgui_on_solaris-1.png http://opensoft.homeip.net:8080/~graemeg/fpgui_on_solaris-2.png or if your ISP or company blocks DynDns domains... http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=182330 That means fpGUI Toolkit now runs under the following platforms: - Linux - FreeBSD - DesktopBSD - OpenSolaris - Embedded Linux - Windows - Windows CE. - Mac OSX 10.6.x (via the built-in X11 support) Kudos to the Free Pascal Compiler team for doing a great job once again. FPC rocks!
