Sorry, I mis-read William's presentation "Funding from Microsoft, UW, NSF, DoD, Google, Sun, private donors etc". It's good to see somebody (DoD)is funding the port. I think there could be a lot of interest in this from Solaris people, who tend to often come from scientific backgrounds. > Sun has recently offered some resources like > access to large machines to help out which is very welcome. Yes, I'm sure it is useful. There is some serious looking hardware in that Sage presentation on the Sun web site. > <SNIP> > > By the way: Starting from 3.3 on we will release beta binaries for 32 > bit Solaris 10 on Sparc as well as x86 with a build in toolchain. 64 > bit support isn't far out and once I am in Seattle after SD13 at the > end of the months my goal will be to get all the remaining doctests > that are broken fixed.

Does the source compile with reasonable ease on Solaris as 32-bit now? Last time I looked at the source, which was several months back, there were several issues, which you knew how to fix, but had not had time to incorporate into the source. Rather than keep applying the fixes with each new version, I thought I'd wait until they were incorporated. I don't mind testing and reporting failures, but if there are many known issues, and known solutions which have not been incorporated, I'd rather wait until they are. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
