Actually, one other thought... perhaps we could include 2 compilers, 11 and 12+ as we release new developer edition versions. So, that the current CBE can be included along with the newest version of SunStudio for application compilation, which is why I believe we deliver these. The major issues are: 1) do we have enough space on the DVD to include both and 2) the disk space required for the installation with additional tools. Even just putting the CBE on the DVD we deliver without necessarily automatically installing it would make it easier for users to get it if they want.
The unfortunate thing about this is that the original release of developer edition included the CBE we use to build OpenSolaris, and now we are introducing a new version that won't. This will be unexpected to our consumers. sarah **** Sarah Jelinek wrote: > Hi James, > > Apparently you are correct, SunStudio 12 cannot successfully build the > most recent OpenSolaris bits.
