Pardon the long subject line.
Some people have asked, "Why can't I build illumos-gate on OmniOS?" It's a
legitimate question, and I'm in the middle of an attempt to say, "Well, now you
can."
As I'm doing this, however, I want to make sure expectations for you (and for
me) are properly set. So my subject-line question stands. Are you interested
because:
- I want to make sure my changes compile cleanly.
- I want to make sure my changes lint cleanly.
- I want to generate replacement binaries (e.g.
/kernel/drv/amd64/e1000g).
- I want to generate packages to ONU on my OmniOS box.
- More?
I can answer now with my take on the above.
- I want to make sure my changes compile.
I believe I have this working now. It will require some .env file hacking on
an OmniOS build box, but I will include a sample when I upstream.
- I want to make sure my changes lint cleanly.
Not yet, but there's a set of changes ALREADY in OmniOS (like the already in
use java ones for this project) that may need to show up in illumos-gate as
well.
- I want to generate replacement binaries.
You should be able to do this. And if you build small (per
http://kebesays.blogspot.com/2011/03/for-illumos-newbies-on-developing-small.html),
you probably already could more a good chunk of binaries.
- I want to generate packages to ONU on my OmniOS box.
This will be REALLY hard. If you really want to do this, I'd just use
illumos-omnios.
- More?
I'm all ears for now.
Before I go any further along, I want to make sure I'm solving people's
problems, or that they are, indeed, solvable.
Thanks,
Dan
