In OpenSolaris OS, you can setup a complete build environment for C/C++/Java type of applications without performing any complex task. You just need to install the relevant packages and alter your PATH environment variable. Before you begin getting the relevant packages, you need to make sure that your software catalog is updated: $ pfexec pkg refresh --full Then you may need to install the necessary development/build tools like gcc, flex, bison by installing the IPS packages: $ pfexec pkg install gcc-dev amp-dev java-dev ss-dev SUNWscp SUNWgnu-idn SUNWlibevent SUNWugenu SUNWbison SUNWflexruntime SUNWflexlex SUNWtoo SUNWgmake SUNWaconf SUNWlibtool SUNWgm4 SUNWgnu-automake-110 You may need to install additional development packages based your build requirement. If you need to build your applications using the earlier Sun Studio 11 compilers, you can manually download the install images . You can also install the Sun Studio Express 11/08 packages by executing the following command: $ pfexec pkg install sunstudioexpress > 2) The Second error is my inability to mount > truecrypt volumes when they are stored on the remote > machine and accessed through sshfs on my Ubuntu 8.10 > laptop.

I kept getting a end of like end of line error on line 27 of the Makefile. There was some talk last spring, but not heard anything in this forum, You could try to compile and submit a RFE http://www.opensolaris.org/bug/report.jspa Having OpenSolaris and Solaris will need to support these Encryption Algorithms, in come cases the OS does, AES Serpent Twofish Cascades Hash Algorithms RIPEMD-160 SHA-512 Whirlpool - GNU Make - GNU C++ Compiler 4.0 or compatible - pkg-config - wxWidgets 2.8 library source code (available at http://www.wxwidgets.org) - FUSE library (available at http://fuse.sourceforge.net and http://code.google.com/p/macfuse) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
