Hi all, After one week going crazy with the Solaris x86 build, Geoff Norton has found what was going wrong.
It wasn't monolite. It seems I have a wrong define in glibconfig.h -bash-3.00$ grep G_BYTE_ORDER * glibconfig.h:#define G_BYTE_ORDER G_BIG_ENDIAN -bash-3.00$ pwd /opt/csw/include/glib-2.0 I'll replace it by G_LITTLE_ENDIAN! So, I'm using the packages from blastwave.org (someone told me to use these ones instead of the "sunfreeware" ones), but it seems they're broken. Now my question is: where should I be getting the packages from? Which ones are you (guys able to build on Solaris x86 or OpenSolaris) using????? If I get to the point to compile it I'll try to write all the steps... :-P pablo Miguel de Icaza escribió: > Hello, > > >>> The above is actually a really good reason why we do not spend more >>> cycles on Solaris/SPARC. >>> >>> The machines are overpriced, and underperforming.
