which bug is that? > I have been following the instructions at: <br> > <br> > <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" > href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris/ > OpenSolaris">http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_S > olaris/OpenSolaris</a><br> well it might be time to update the information there. The repo mentioned there is for kde4.1.x, version long forgotten by the KDE developers themselves > <br> > <u>Question #1:</u> Compiler Installation:<br> what we're doing is : install Solaris 10, install Sun Studio 12 there, apply all patches, zip the /opt/SUNspro directory, unzip it in your OSOL installation ATM I'm probably the only guy using SSE to compile KDE, but apart from FOSSxine-lib, I was able to compile the rest. Some need specific tweaking, there's a separate thread for that. > <u>Question #2</u>: Are the makefiles updated to > recognize the new > compiler ?<br> the CC and CXX env variables are all that matters > Executing : <br> > <br> > <tt>make check-version</tt> <br> I never did that > <br> > Outputs:<br> > <br> > <blockquote><tt>!
