Hi Shivkumar,
I have been struggling since last week owing to confusion as to
which compiler to use. I have all possible patches and compilers downloaded
on my machine. It would be great if you can give me some standard procedure
that you all are using , so that instead of wasting time on getting foxed
on compiler issues I can concentrate on more interesting ideas related to
storage and networking.
I started to fix some bugs related to networking / filesystems and landed
up into OpenMotif installation ;-) and getting the MAC address reversed on
Opensolaris 2008.05 ( MAC addr. reversal was suprising :-D ) .
I am not able to run anything that requires gui ( sunstudio etc !! )
libXm.so.4 liking issue.
So can you please help me with this =>
(1) Which compiler you are using ? SS12 or SS11 ?? ( with SS11 there were
issues like SUNWhea etc , which I could fix , but there are other issues ..
) so opensolaris forum suggested me to install SS12 .. so did , but this
popped up altogether other issues :-)
(2) Which Java you are using ?
(3) any other tools which I will need ??
