Anyone following the OpenSolaris discuss mailing list will see that I like to render nice large images for desktop background with POV-Ray. I have been working, at various times, over the past 2 years to get a decent clean build of POV-Ray on Solaris. The process is horrible and most standard tools from /usr/xpg4/bin and /usr/ccs/bin and Sun ONE Studio 8 or 10 or 11 simply will not work without a LOT of warnings or errors. Piles of errors are issued and the process breaks down. Of course the thing compiles on Linux. :-o But even there ( Fedora Core 4 on PowerPC ) I had to build a whole new tool chain first. Needless to say I finally got the thing to compile at 04:54 AM this morning and am still not sure if it works correctly or not. $ /export/medusa/dclarke/local/sparc/bin/povray -h Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.6.1 (CC @ sparc-sun-solaris2.8) This is an unofficial version compiled by: Dennis Clarke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is the Sparc version and hopefully someone will be able to test this ugly monster when I get a package rolled out. I am just really tired and happy to get this thing to _just_ build despite its thousands of warnings. Literally bloody thousands of warnings during the compile. I have this crazy belief that code can be standards compliant and compile with NO warnings at all given a code-level spec to be compliant to. Good luck right ? If this is the future of open source software then we really need to push Solaris more and more because there is just no way that I can believe that all the tools in Solaris and Sun ONE Studio 11 are buggy. :-) Despite what the guys were telling me ... that /usr/xpg4/bin/sed is buggy as is make and who knows what else. Yeah ... right. Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
