I have been reading lots of articles on building and installing ON, and with the help of many people online successfully performed an installation. However, there are some questions which I couldn't find answers to:
1. Is it necessary to add the extra repository in order to build ON? I checked the packages contained in the extra repository, none of which seems to be related to buidling ON. 2. Is it necessary to install gcc-dev and java-dev in order to build ON? 3. Is it necessary to add the name of our new kernel directory to the file /boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk ? what does this file do? I couldn't find its description online. In fact I just installed the new kernel and rebooted without adding the kernel name to /boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk. It didn't cause any error message. My machine is x86. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/on-discuss/attachments/20091209/bc5dd91d/attachment.html>
