To build web stack , please refer to the documentation here http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+webstack/sunwebstack
This will automatically pull out the latest source snap shot of Web Stack . To change the compiler options for PHP, I would recommend changing it in php5/etc/Solaris.mk In the latest source snap shot, curl libraries are already compiled with '-xnorunpath' . So, that should not be an issue. In all the tests we did, we didn't notice more than 2% performance gain by compiling with -fast compared to what we have today. I can definitely assure you that performance gain around 2-5% will definitely come under noise if you add database to this equation. If you are seriously looking to gain every bit of performance, then I would start trimming down the apache modules and php modules that are loaded by default. - Sriram Brandon Hume wrote: > To amend, what I'm working with is the result of: > > hg clone ssh://anon at hg.opensolaris.org/hg/webstack/wstools > > (and so on...) >
