My desktop machine is Solaris 8. It is always the very first platform that "works" for me. However, I use Sun's compilers, not GCC. In any case, you only want to use the libraries, not build them, so let's concentrate on getting that working and forget about building JSS. The best documentation there is on all the pieces you need to gather to get JSS working is at: http://mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/jss/using_jss.html > One of the problems I have is not knowing how to test that things are > working.

Which sample program is not compiling? Please be specific about the problems you are encountering so I have a chance of debugging them. For example, mozilla/security/jss/samples/SigTest.java should work. > I'd love to have all the relevent nspr, nss, jss, etc tarballed in one > file which I could unpack in say /usr/local or /opt, perhaps set some > links and environment variable.

The closest thing we have to this is the binary release packages and the "Using JSS" doc given above. I don't see us going any further than that. We provide an SDK, not a packaged application. Our clients are not end-users, but programmers who have to decide where they want to put things. P.S. I just downloaded, built, and installed GCC 2.95.3, and used it to build NSPR, NSS, and JSS on my Solaris 8 box. I followed the build instructions, and it all worked. So there is indeed something different about your setup or build procedure. NSS officially supports GCC 2.95.3 on Solaris; are you using a different version?
