Hello James, I updated the instructions: http://www.users.on.net/~markwright/?x=entry:entry080603-090223 One thing I am not sure about is what to do about packages that are not present on Solaris 10u5. For these I would find spec files that looked kind of similar, and modified them if necessary. So I built it, but I am not sure that I used the right versions of the missing packages. I left out avahi, just tweaked pidgin and ekiga to not use avahai. I will try fixing the Ekiga OSS issue soon. > > This is just in case anyone is interested in > > JDS gnome 2.22.2 on Solaris 10u5. > > > > Stefan Teleman from the KDE4 project ported HAL to > > Solaris 10u5.

I did upstream some when I built JDS gnome 2.20.1 on Solaris 10u4 about 6 months ago. mkdtemp is missing on Solaris 10u4, I think its not possible for me to upstream that because its Sun licensed code? For the missing avahi, Stefan Teleman has ported avahi to Solaris 10 as well, but we have not integrated it into the KDE 4 build yet. It requires a lot of stuff like Kerboros, it seems easier to just disable avahi for JDS Gnome 2.22.2 Solaris 10 for the moment, although it would be good if we could make JDS Gnome 2.22.2 and KDE 4 work together better on Solaris 10u5, I am working on that. I will tidy up my diffs, there is some stuff that can be deleted, like: gnome-2-22/patches/gnome-mag-03-no-solaris10-xcomposite-dependency.diff -> its not used since I fixed the X-Windows client development enviroment. gnome-2-22/SUNWmyspell-dictionary-l10n.spec -> That's only because I do not have the file: http://www.deso-se.com.br/downloads/download.php/pt_BR-2700g.zip > Hi Mark, > > On Thu, 2008-06-12 at 02:54 +1000, Mark Wright wrote: > > This is just in case anyone is interested in > > JDS gnome 2.22.2 on Solaris 10u5. > > > > Stefan Teleman from the KDE4 project ported HAL to > > Solaris 10u5.

I'm not sure where it core dumps, maybe I should try setting a directory for core dumps with coreadm. > Try a different theme. I tried changing the theme from nimbus to blueprint, then enabled compiz by setting "visual effects" to extra, and all the windows title bars vanished. I also tried changing the theme to clearlooks, same behaviour. > One typo I noticed in your blog: the download option is --download > not --with-download.
