Hi Jaap, it's really pleased me to someone have a go at Sage on Open Solaris. Sometimes I feel I'm the only one working on the Solaris build. As stated at http://wiki.sagemath.org/solaris Open Solaris does not build. There are several issues I am aware. I'd suggest the following approach might be worth taking, but there may be better ones. You need to get at least the following * A recent gcc * GNU make * GNU binutils * OpenSSL libraries. You can do this from the source code, using the the included gcc 4.3.2, or download them via the Package manager (on the System -> Administration) after adding a repository. http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ Use that one, as while not as stable, it has more packages than the default opensolaris.org repository. That will allow you to download GNU make. As far as I know, Open Solaris has no recent gcc unless you use some. Check gcc --version, but if it is 3.4.3, which I expect it will be, then it is not going to build Sage. You could download gcc 4.3.2 using the Package Manager, or you could build it from source. Note I believe it might install with the version number appended to the names (gcc+4.3.2 etc) if you use the Package Manager. In which case you will have to rename them, as many packages in Solaris ignore CC and CXX, so there is little point setting them. Personally I buit gcc from source. bash-3.2$ /usr/local/gcc-4.3.4/bin/gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/gcc-4.3.4/bin/../lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/4.3.4/specs Target: i386-pc-solaris2.11 Configured with: ../gcc-4.3.4/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-4.3.4/ --with-as=/usr/local/binutils-2.20/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran Thread model: posix gcc version 4.3.4 (GCC) 5) Build OpenSSL - the defaults seem to work well, and produce a 64-bit binary. It installs in /usr/local/ssl, which is fine, as python, which needs the library, looks in. Again, you can use the package manager to install that for you. 6) Although I've not tried it, I would be tempted to export SAGE64 to 'yes' and go directly for a 64-bit build. 7) Type make. You will probably hit this bug. http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7387 There is a hack listed to get rid of that. 8) Hopefully you wont hit bug http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7761 as you would have installed OpenSSL libraries. At that point, you will be up with me really. I've not got much further than that. I posted a list the other day of packages which do and do not build. I used $ make -k to skip over errors. One problem is that SAGE64 is not handled properly in many pacakges, so if you go for a 64-bit build, you hit that problem. If you use a 32-bit build, I can't get a stable python, as the OpenSSL will not pass their self-tests if you try to force a 64-bit build of them. Hopefully that gives you some ideas, but it seems quite a way from actually building. If I can get http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7505 reviewed, then make some changes to sage-env, it should be possible to get rid of all this SAGE64 stuff in each spkg-install. That will make the process somewhat easier. But it looks like it might be a struggle. Even HP-UX looks easier!
