Dear all, As you may know, I am a newbie to OI--less so to Solaris, where I typed in my first C-programs in vi with nothing but an ASCII terminal...those were the days--and those days lasted for years in my case ;-)
Now, there is a couple of questions regarding the making packages or the mere problem of porting things to OI, something that I am really eager to do, if I only knew how... You see, it's not so much about compiling things and make them work, it's more what rules to follow: 1) Some packages are named sunw...followed by a name. What does that really mean? sun is referring to Sun obviously but what about the 'w'? 2) How do we differ between run-time libs and development "libs" (the latter typically just a single .h file) when it comes to *naming*? Under Linux/Debian it was simple, e.g.: bananasplit.deb and bananasplit dev.deb... 3) Must I in a compiled package include GNU license + source or will the binaries suffice? 4) Must I provide compiled packages with both gcc and CC, is there some kind of preference? And what names should be used? 5) Same as 4) only how to differ between 32 bits and 64 bits. And again...the naming question. I have many more, but it's time to make some Friday evening supper now, so let's keep it like this. Best, Søren _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
