Good starting points are: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+indiana/building_on http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/downloads#HBuildingOpenSolaris When you stumble trying to follow these processes (some of which will be slightly out of date at any given time) it is best to ask for help at tools-discuss, on-discuss, or another list where the developers are more likely to hang out. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
