I work on the KDE4 on Solaris project, and have put together a complete build of binary packages for KDE4 for Solaris 10/X86-64 on the server hosting the source specs for the project. Notes on the project are found at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris
I have written a script to do as much validation to make sure accounts, account priviliges, space requirements, etc are satisfied to install. Downloads: 700MB Uncompressed pkgs: 2GB /opt/foss 1.3GB /opt/kde-4.1 700MB The install script is at http://solaris.bionicmutton.org/PKGS/S10-x64/Install-s10-x64-kde4.sh It has several options. You must set SRC_DOWNLOAD to a location that has 3GB of free space, not including the requirements for 2GB on /opt. There is an option to download, unroll, and remove the tarball and pkg dir after install which minimizes the need for keeping it all local. This is done by editing the following variables in the script as such: KEEP_TARBALL=NO KEEP_PKGDIRS=NO I have tested the script locally, and other than not downloading the tarballs to my local system, the script stands up a beautiful KDE4 install for Solaris 10. You are expected to follow the instructions the script give you if you are missing accounts or privilieges. No warranties, implied or otherwise. I'm doing this just because I'm hoping other folks will help test KDE4 and be able to report bugs. It does take about a day to build KDE4 as I've packaged it, so the build is not trivial. This is for Solaris 10/X86-64 system only. I will be able to post a 32-bit (Pentium 3/Athlon) version shortly, but am cleaning up some issues in the installer script.
