There should be openssl and gnu GCC packages available on sunfreeware.com. They may not be the most recent but they are likely to be more recent then the ones bundled with Solaris 10 or the Sun Freeware Tools companion cd.

If they are written in C, C++ or Fortran that is so. They will generally be faster. But if they are written in some GNU variant of one of these languages, rather than standard conforming code, then you may have a problem building it with anything other than GNU tools. The defaults for the GNU compilers allow GNU extensions, so people do not realise they are not writing C/C++/Fortran. They are in fact writing in GNU C, GNU C++ or GNU Fortran. > but, my Sol10 systems appear to already have an openssl in /usr/sfw/bin (and > libraries in /usr/sfw/lib, etc) which is maintained by Oracle Yes. It might be quite old though - depends on whether the system has been patched or not.
