Hi Faramarz, First of all thank you for your work. And sorry for the disappointment.

Can you point me to the specific point in the material? I don't know about the material, but the reason is, that C++ library compiled by g++ can not be used by CC, and vice versa. For C code this is not a problem, C compilers use the same ABI. This led to decision that g++ won't be allowed. > Based on this link (sorry folks outside the SWAN): > > http://ostest.central.sun.com/wiki/index.php/Package_Delivery_Project#3._Develop_Software > > It seems that the use of GCC is allowed.

The problem with Qt is not Sun Studio, but standard template library used in {,Open}Solaris (distributed with SunStudio). And only WebKint (the Qt html component) had the issue (yes, I was also one of many compiling Qt on my own, and sending patches to Trolltech). The biggest problem is that it's not clearly documented anywhere, AFAIK.
