Hi,
I am _seriously _ falling short on hardware requirements while trying to
build KDE4 on Solaris
I have _one_ machine right now, a sub notebook ( the Acer Aspire 2920)
It takes more than half a day to go through the build.
Even for incremental builds, turnaround time is way too much! ( min: half an
hour or so )
Sun does not have the try-and-buy scheme in India other wise would have
gotten myself a Sun Ultra 25/45 for this purpose.
(SUNW: if you see this , please start this scheme in India, atleast for
BOSUG ppl doing work on Nevada! )
Can anyone lend me a decent x86 box to do the builds ( extra boxes they have
lying around etc)
I dont need the box shipped here; I just need SSH access.
In case you are interested:
I need to be able to do the following on the box:
1) Install and patch Sun Studio 12 as and when necessary
- Currently it needs to be patched to #124864
` - Nevada comes with Sun Studio Express, which needs to be removed. Sun
Studio 12 09/07 is what is needed for the KDE4 builds
2) my user should be added to the Software Installation profile
- That's how KBE (Kommon Build Envrionment) works
- SVR4 .pkg's are generated out of the build process.
- They install in /opt (see below)
3) KDE4 would install to
- /opt/foss - dependencises
- /opt/qt4 - the Qt4 library
- /opt/kde4 - actual KDE4 libs and binaries.
Thus my user should be able to write to these dirs
4) The actual build process can run in my home dir, so that is not a
problem.
5) I would need ~25 gigs of space
- Bare minimum is 20 gigs, just to be safe
- More space would be better.
6) I dont know which X86 CPU you have. Faster CPU's are always better :)
---
I am prepared to install SunStudio etc on the system myself if you would
prefer that.
I guess all that I said should be possible inside a zone.( I am not a
Solaris guru)
Whatever suits you (zone/bare metal) is fine with me.
Look forward to your comments
