Installing Studio 12u1 Development System on OpenSolaris
in [Solaris]
|
From: Larry Lindstrom on 18 Apr 2010 02:12 Hi Folks: I'm trying to install the current Sun Studio 12u1 on a generic AMD PC running the current OpenSolaris, but I'm not having much luck. I've been out of Unix Development for a few years, is Sun Studio the preferred environment, over GCC? The page: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7601/6nirmq7j9?a=view states In the directory that contains the installer, start the installer by typing: ./SunStudio12u1-OS-platform-packages.sh There is not enough free disk space to extract installation data 806 MB of free disk space is required in a temporary folder. Clean up the disk space and run installer again. You can specify a temporary folder with sufficient disk space using --tempdir installer argument Ok, I add a --tempdir argument and the install runs for a while, a GUI pops up and I'm asked a few questions, including asking if I accept the usage agreement. An error is generated, the details of which are: This installer is not supported on the OpenSolaris OS. Please install this Sun Studio version IPS using the pkg command or the Package Manager. When I extracted the studio with tar I saw a couple of .sh files, but I don't see any packages files to install. How do I do this? Where is the Sun Studio package? Does OpenSolaris need to be patched? I'm reluctant to run install_patches.sh because its for Solaris? Thanks Larry

On (Open)Solaris, yes. -- Ian Collins

Since OpenSolaris is using a new packaging system, IPS, vs. Solaris's SVR4, one cannot use the Solaris SVR4 package installers on OpenSolaris. To acquire and install Sun Studio 12 Update 1 on OpenSolaris, using the network-based IPS packaging system, follow these steps: http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/opensolaris/index.jsp Hope this helps! /kso

To acquire and install Sun Studio 12 Update 1 on Untrue. I install the legacy SVR4 packages of OpenOffice, Opera and SFWfirefox on my mobile and stationary Indiana workstations. <URL:http://download.openoffice.org/other.html> <URL:http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?os=solaris-intel&list=all> <URL:http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.3/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/> John groenveld(a)acm.org

Thanks Everybody: Installing off the web works fine. I'd like a local copy of the package on my PC, in case Oracle decides to pull it. Larry |
