Hi all, I'm relatively new to Solaris. I have an Accelerator with Joyent (http://joyent.com/accelerator) running OpenSolaris and I've got a Rails app which I'm planning on adding functionality that can take a screenshot of a web site and save to file. To take the screenshots, I found this:
http://cutycapt.sourceforge.net/ I have it working on my development box (Mac OS X Leopard) and it does the job exactly how I need it to. In order to get it working on the Accelerator, I needed to install Sun Studio 12 to install QT and I got that done. Then I compiled CutyCapt and tried running it and got the "CutyCapt: cannot connect to X server" message which is when I realized I needed to install X (everything worked on my Mac right away since I've got every pre-requisite already installed from before.) Anyway, I found this link: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/x/downloads/current/README.opensolaris I assume that's what I need to get X going. I went through that doc step-by-step, downloaded (along with all the tarballs), did the ./buildit, then I'm stumped after that. The next steps following that don't seem to be accurate for what I have or I just don't know what I'm doing (most likely.) These are the directories I get after I ran ./buildit: /open-src ...../app ...../common ...../data ...../doc ...../driver ...../font ...../lib ...../proto ...../tarballs ...../util ...../xserver /packages (a bunch of FSWxorg and SUNW directories) /proto-i386-svr4 ...../bin ...../etc ...../lib ...../licenses ...../tools ...../usr ...../var I don't know where the "XW_NV/proto-packages/installdir" is, unless by that they mean "XW_NV/proto-i386-svr4", in which case I still don't see an installdir. Bah! I just want to get an X server running so I can use that CutyCapt app. Does anyone have any instructions that make a little more sense to someone like me? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
