hi richard > I hope to be getting access to a solaris-8 machine in the next few > weeks, and would like to port some of my stuff to it ... great! solaris-8 on sparc i hope...
> which means I would have to have GNUstep (at least make and base) > installed on it. well i've made packages and put them here. however using sunfreeware.com library dependencies packages seem to break gnustep. it works when you take all sources yourself and compile it yourself. riccardo mottola also knows a trick how to compile some part that it works much better (i didn't use that on the binary pkgs i made). here's what i done: http://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/solaris/ and here's the sources/debian stuff i used to do the above: http://www.linuks.mine.nu/gnustep/solaris/ > It would be nice for me if there were packages available ... if not, I > will need to install any packages it requires, and then build and > package the GNUstep stuff myself. there are here, however i suggest you do it from source until i or someone else make better packages. > Have you managed to package GNUstep for Solaris yet?
