Comment(by drkirkby):
You better check the license issue with William. Code should be GPL 2 or
GPL2+, but there are exceptions if a package is optional and some other
conditions - I've never fully understood under what conditions code can
be GLP 3. But you might find you can only use the latest version which is
GPL 2, and not a GPL 3 version.
{{{
sage: license()
}}}
says all code except jsmath is GPL2, and apparently jsmath is ok, as Sage
does not link to it.
The code will not build on skynet, as there are no SPARC machines there.
It should build it on 't2' easily though.
I suggest you download sage 4.3.0.1 from one of the mirrors
http://www.sagemath.org/download-solaris.html
Use the following settings.
{{{
kir...@t2:[~] $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-
linker/bin:/usr/local/bin2:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin
kir...@t2:[~] $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/lib:=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-
linker/lib/sparcv9:/usr/local/lib
}}}
type make, and build Sage, then try your package.
There is also a binary of Sage on the mirrors. You could download that.
I'm not precisely sure what you then need to do to build just your package
using the binary as a starting point.
The latest Sage source will not build on Solaris, but 4.3.0.1 will.
