	~~These notes are based on attempts to get bzflag-2.0.12 to compile and run on Solaris 10~~

	~~==Sparc packages ==~~
	~~Sparc packages (in /opt) from [http://sunfreeware.com Sunfreeware] are required to build.~~

	It is not necessary to install in /opt. If desired a user may skip all the "opt" stuff or substitute the correct location instead. Most of these packages will install in /usr/local. /usr/local may not be available to all users.

	~~===Dependencies===~~
	* curl-7.19.6-sol10-sparc-local.gz
	* libidn-1.14-sol10-sparc-local.gz
	* libssh2-1.2-sol10-sparc-local.gz
	* openssl-0.9.8k-sol10-sparc-local.gz
	* libintl-3.4.0-sol10-sparc-local.gz
	* libiconv-1.11-sol10-sparc-local.gz


	~~If an error is generated that indicates that a libary has been moved, it may be required to go into the library's .la file and update the location manualy.~~

	~~Other errors that may require an update to the *.la files may look like:~~

	~~libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/local/lib/libidn.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/local/lib/libidn.la'~~

	~~If this is the case then the following lines in SMCliconv/lib/libiconv.la, etc, will need to be updated:~~

	~~dependency_libs=' -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib <b> -R/opt/SMCossl/ssl/lib </b> -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.7/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -R/usr/X11R6/lib~~

JeffM2501: move Solaris build notes to seperate page.

2012-05-13T02:53:50Z

move Solaris build notes to seperate page.

New page

'''Moved from build page. really should be refactored into a proper format, not a blob of code'''

===Solaris 10 (Oct, 2009)===

This is what I had to do to get bzflag-2.0.12 to compile and run on Solaris 10

Install Sparc packages (in /opt) from [http://sunfreeware.com Sunfreeware]

'''You don't necessarily have to install in /opt'''. If not, skip all the "opt" stuff or substitute the correct location instead. Most of these packages will install in /usr/local. /usr/local was not available to me.

<pre>
curl-7.19.6-sol10-sparc-local.gz
libidn-1.14-sol10-sparc-local.gz

If you get an error saying that a library has moved, you might have to go into the library's .la file and update its location.

You will also have to update the *.la files if you get errors like this:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/local/lib/libidn.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/local/lib/libidn.la'

You will have to update these lines in SMCliconv/lib/libiconv.la, etc:

dependency_libs=' -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib -R/opt/SMCossl/ssl/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.7/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -R/usr/X11R6/lib
