Not really. You wrote *some* of what you read: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/supported-platforms.html Supported Features: Compiler Features Concurrent XmlPatterns WebKit CLucene Phonon [ ... ] SunCC <= 5.6 X X X SunCC 5.7 & 5.8 X X X X SunCC 5.9 and X X X X X up Makespec Support: Makespec Architecture Compiler version(s) Support Level [ ... ] solaris-cc* sparc, x86 5.5 Active > Qt 4.4.0 is the first version of Qt that I've used that won't build out > of the box on Solaris with the Sun compiler. WebKit was introduced *first* in QT 4.4.0, and it is WebKit which is where the vast majority of compile failures were reported. The compile failures in qmake are caused by your $(CXXFLAGS) not passing -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500. This define is mandatory, and not only for QT. Modulo the overloading ambiguity compile failure in the example you mentioned earlier. I have not had the time to look into it thoroughly, and i have not yet determined that it is indeed a QT 4.4.x bug or a Studio 12 bug. Reporting compiler failures for WebKit along with suggested fixes is the right thing to do. Just because you ran into compile failures in 4.4.0 and you reported them, it doesn't mean that they won't be fixed in 4.4.1, or that "Solaris is no longer supported", or that "TT developers no longer have Solaris workstations". Maybe it takes time to synchronize compiler fixes for WebKit between TT and upstream WebKit. TT's "Supported Features" web page shows that they have even tested SunCC 5.6. Do you still compile QT4 with SunCC 5.6 ? --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Sun Microsystems, Inc. Stefan.Teleman at Sun.COM
