Thanks for writing that wiki page, I'm impressed by the attention to detail. I'd love to see more forms of reliable transaction processing built on top of OpenSolaris. At a cursory glance, the free release of GT.M is limited to i386 and possibly amd64/x86-64 because of a significant portion in assembly, but almost all of the Unix support code is shared between platforms. Building current version of GT.M will be slightly tricky, as it appears to require an existing GT.M installation to bootstrap itself. You may be able to use a wrapper that runs GT.M inside the lx branded zone (with the build directory shared with the zone if it requires direct access to its contents) for the initial build. The CVS repository for GT.M on SourceForge has V44004 which is 5 years old, but doesn't appear to have this issue. I'll keep osol-code CCed, maybe sw-porters-discuss might be slightly more appropriate later on. -Albert _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
