Hello.
We are successfully moving away from Studio. But we still provide
Studio-compiled C++ libraries. I'd like to propose the following: to
eliminate c++ / g++ distinction completely.
This significantly simplifies C++ development for newcomers, decreases
the cost of maintaining the distribution and decreases our dependency
on
Sun Studio compilers.
For everyone willing to have Solaris-10 compatible system there are
Solaris 10 zones. And we can't pretend that we are compatible with
Solaris 11. Perhaps, I miss something.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I see that it can influence other's
people software badly, so I'd like to hear opinions from SFE/OpenCSW
people.
...
3) Drop all remaining */c++/* packages (except sunpro library).
Arghhh, this is a wrong step ! You may missed the fact
that
a) people have compiled their own software with CC and
don't like to recompile dozens of packages (and even
often can't, because these are then used in other Studio
compiled packages!)
b) people have commercial software which they CANNOT recompile
I understand this. But I've named 12 libraries.
database/postgres/library/c++/libpqxx
library/c++/glibmm
library/c++/libxml++
library/c++/net6
library/c++/obby
library/c++/sigcpp
library/c++/stdcxx
library/desktop/c++/cairomm
library/desktop/c++/gtkmm
library/desktop/c++/mm-common
library/desktop/c++/pangomm
library/desktop/c++/gtkmm
Which should we preserve? How do you suggest to do it in non-full-hack
way? If we deliver g++ libraries in /usr/lib, they will be seen first.
So, at least you'll have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for affected software.
I don't see any sense in preserving desktop libraries. I've looked at
firefox / flash player / openoffice. They don't need these libs.
The only libs which could be worth preserving for compatibility IMO are
library/c++/libxml++
library/c++/sigcpp
library/c++/stdcxx
What essential software does depend on mentioned libraries?
Again, if you need them, you can always copy them manually from older
distribution to /usr/CC/lib, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and try to run that
software.
