It might be innacurate, but this has long been the view from a good number of community members. > > I'd want sun cc compiled packages and stable sun > > libraries with gcc and glibc stuff available separately. > > That's what we have right now at last check. Which is a real mess. When gcc is used, the ABI is not compatible with SunStudio, and seems to cause problems. Oddly, I do run an old version of KDE 3.1.1 which is from the s10 GA companion CD, on some machines. I also run Stefan Teleman's SunStudio compile of 3.3.1 and 3.4.3 which works well. If anyone wants to have a build of KDE with SunStudio, help if you can, that effort is kicking up in the KDE community. -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 Engineering - IHV/OEM Group Advocate of insourcing at Sun - hire people that care about our company! _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
