SunProCC's and g++'s C++ ABI's are incompatible. This is noone's fault really, the C++ ABI has never been formalized. -------------------------------- We talked about this subject almost 3-4 years ago. KDE is one of those projects in which we ended up with KDE-gcc and KDE-SunStudio versions because of these reasons (i.e. The Highlander theorem did't jive). Yet, this was a little before Sun Studio became free to developers/users and now included in OpenSolaris distros (i.e. SXCR). Don't forget the Sun Studio/GCC hybrid... So as part of the proposal is should the 'community' version of KDE (and all the KDE porters out there) start using Sun Studio to maintain and build KDE applications and the core KDE build - or will we still keep a GCC-based KDE build around as well. Then, if Sun will at least keep the new versions of KDE on the Solaris Community (aka CCD) DVD as an unsupported product build or will this be a OpenSolaris specific-build project never to be forked into the main Solaris product as a officially supported desktop environment.
