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.
