For details check http://opensolaris.org/os/community/on/install_quickstart On BeleniX install the devel cluster using get-pkgs utility before proceeding. This installs additional softwares and development headers necessary for building ON. You need to download and install sun studio separately. Temporarily building ON is little more difficult than what is present in the link above because ON build tool has transitioned from sun studio 11 to sun studio 12. On top of the default SS12 download one needs needs to install a set of patches to have the compiler tool chain that can build ON. For details regarding the required patches check http://blogs.sun.com/jmcp/entry/patches_for_sun_studio_12 After this it is expected to work fine. -Shiv
