Hey Riccardo, it's good to see new people in here. I think the best course of action for you is to familiarize yourself with the build system on Solaris 10, and once you have an idea how it works, looking into the Solaris 8 stuff. One problematic part would be running checkpkg which has a number of dependencies such as Python, with a couple modules and libmagic, but if that fails, maybe you can build on Solaris 8 and index/check packages on Solaris 9 or 10.
