Next Meeting:
Installing OpenSolaris and Sun Studio Development Tools
If you have wanted to install OpenSolaris but haven't wanted to risk
losing your current operating system, then this month's meeting is for you.
Dave Hagerty, our presenter this month, will take you through the steps
to set up OpenSolaris on your laptop or home system in a dual boot
environment. Using open source tools, he will show how to archive the
original OS, repartition the hard drive, and install OpenSolaris on the
newly created disk partition. The result is a system with your original
OS on one partition and OpenSolaris on the other.
Additionally, for those of you interested in application development on
OpenSolaris, Dave will show you how to install the Sun Studio
Development tools and give you an overview. These tools provide
high-performance, optimizing C, C++, and Fortran compilers for the the
SPARC and x86/x64 platforms, plus command-line tools and a
NetBeans-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for application
performance analysis and debugging of mixed source language
applications. Multi-platform support, compatible with gcc, Visual C++,
C99, OpenMP, and Fortran 2003.
Dave Hagerty has a Bachelor degree from the University of Colorado in
Computer Science. He has been in the computer industry for 23 years in
various roles including system administrator, network administrator,
software developer and technical support person. He currently works as
the build master and system administrator for the Performance Library
(Perflib) group, which is part of Sun Studio.
