That page is wrong. Or at least not entirely correct. I built this : $ uname -a SunOS aequitas 5.11 snv_138 i86pc i386 i86pc with this : $ cc -V cc: Sun C 5.10 SunOS_i386 Patch 142363-05 2010/04/28 usage: cc [ options] files. Use 'cc -flags' for details The nightly report was clean. I went through this with various people and exchanged emails about it and I'm tired of talking about it. The docs on the Oracle sites are wrong or slightly wrong or slightly correct. I'm not going down that path again .. I'm tired of it and I'm not going to file any more bug reports. I'm sure that Jörg and I can figure it out and who knows, maybe even come up with something that people can use with docs on a site that is community based. All the Xorg bits will come after the ON bits are building neatly. Probably GCC can do that. >> I will try with Sun Studio 12.1 >> with all latest patches.

Well I'll be using 12.1 entirely for ON and see what happens. Maybe it works. Maybe it fails. I would be far happier at this point with a decent GCC but my Solaris Application Dev books from Mr. Gove and the Solaris Internals books from McDougall and Mauro et. al. tell me the Studio compilers are the way to go. I do believe them even if it is somewhat mysterious, closed and proprietary. -- Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
