If one tries to build Sage on Solaris, there is a warning the Solaris operating system is not well supported and it's tricky to build on Solaris.
****************************************************** Machine: SunOS kestrel 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun- Blade-1000 Building or using Sage on Solaris is tricky and not supported at the moment. It is possible, but you should be well aware that some things do not work. To get past this message export the variable $SAGE_PORT to something non-empty. Support for Solaris is actively being worked on. ******************************************************* I personally think it would be a good idea if a similar warning was produced for *any* unsupported operating system too, rather than just Solaris. When I tried a quick compile of Sage on HP-UX (compliments of the free 'HP Testdrive' program) http://www.testdrive.hp.com/ I found no such warning issued. It might be worth putting a warning, and again allow someone to bypass it by setting $SAGE_PORT to something non-empty.
