You may recall some discussion recently about ./sage -bdist was not working on Solaris, due to a GNUism (the non-POSIX option -a to 'cp').
I've attempted to fix this, by using more appropiate options for systems other than Linux. There are basically two changes I am however getting this message drkir...@kestrel:~/sage-4.2$ ./sage -bdist Solaris10 Sage works! Copying files over to tmp directory cp: cannot access *.sage Copying Sage library over Making empty spkg's Creating tar.gz sage-Solaris10-sun4u-SunOS/ sage-Solaris10-sun4u-SunOS/examples/ <snip> Moving final distribution file to /export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.2/dist I need to remake the tar file anyway, as I forgot to put the version number in the tar file name, and also it has been upgraded to 4.2.1. My updated build script to make the binary is at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-fixes/sage-bdist/ I will add this to trac http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7407 but I'm not going to do that if there's a problem with it. The binary is 735M. Does that seem about right ? I've no idea how I'm going to upload that to 't2'!! It will take ages on my network, which is only 256 kB/s upload. But it was build on the first release of Solaris 10, so should hopefully (fingers crossed) run on any Solaris 10 release.
