No. The main reason is that my Ultra5 is extremely outdated. It still runs on solaris 8 from 1998 or so and takes around 5 minutes to build haproxy 1.4. Also we receive no more requests for this OS. > It???s hard for me to build from source at work due to missing required > libraries.

I used to build 1.4 with the following command : make TARGET=solaris CPU=ultrasparc USE_STATIC_PCRE=1 The missing libraries (if any) could easily be found on http://sunfreeware.com/ which you probably know if you're building from sources. The site seems to still exist. Overall I've rarely encountered issues to build on Solaris, compilers and the GNU suite are easy to find and well supported, and the OS provides a great forward compatibility. The OS is quite modern (it probably was the most modern of commercial UNIXes), so once you have installed the software you need, you should have no trouble. Best regards, Willy
