Posting here is probably not the best way to go. For app port question, you'll have much better luck posting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because most (all?) of the Solaris GNOME/JDS and KDE porting folks are subscribed there. Also, because almost every major open source app that's been around for a while has been ported to Solaris by one or more of: Blastwave, Sunfreeware, or Companion CD, those communities are good places to look for guidance too. - If the app is on the Companion CD: the engineer who ported it might have documented useful porting info. This is done via a file called sfw.README in the source package. For more information and a link to a tar file of all the READMES, see: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=8147#8147 - If the app is on sunfreeware.com, e-mail Steve Christensen for porting advice. - If the app is on Blastwave, click on the package name in the package list, and then click on "contact the maintainer". Also click on the maintainer's name -- sometimes you'll find additional porting information or pointers there.
