Community Ingres and OpenSolaris
in [Solaris]
|
From: bob prohaska's usenet account on 1 May 2010 21:32 Is it possible to run Community Ingres on OpenSolaris? A brief search of the Ingres distribution site seems to suggest that the precompiled releases require "enterprise" operating systems and the sources are constructed to build only on Linux. Thanks for reading, bob prohaska

There's virtualy no difference in OpenSolaris vs. Solaris for application programs, they'd have to be specificly coded to look for the version string in order to even tell what it is they are running on. I don't see any mention of "enterprise" OS on their site, just a variety of popular OSs that they supply binaries for. I really doubt that there's much linux favoritism in it, since its been around so much longer (about twice as long?) than Linux has even existed. They have a prebuilt Solaris SPARC binary available, which I'm sure would run just fine on an OpenSolaris SPARC system. It looks like you'd have to build from source if you want an x86 binary though. Typically, for community/OpenSource projects, the main determining factors of what prebuilt binaries are available are ones that either the team uses primarily themselves, or some stable contributer has committed to building every release as needed (ie. probably what that OpenVMS Itanium binary is all about). Ie. if they don't have somebody committed to building OpenSolaris x86, then it generally doesn't get to be an option. Other than the VMS choice, I wouldn't say the binary available is all that "Enterprise" as it. Solaris SPARC and OpenVMS are only 2 of the 6 available.

Less politics down the road. -- Are we being heard or are we a herd?

The staging server has builds for Solaris x86 based on the most recent tag in http://code.ingres.com/ingres. However, as you state, there is nothing available for download. I'll ask to see why this is. regards grant

Earlier builds had been posted but were pulled due to stability issues. regards grant |
