Porting on Open Solaris / Solaris

These notes are taken as the Solaris port is occuring

• Working on a pre-installed Solaris 10 machine
• Download the mirror package and install it on the system from sources as root. You'll need the GNU make package from the below mirror server (pkgadd -d make-3.81-sol10-x86-local.gz)
• Create a conf file in /usr/local/etc/mirror.conf containing:

  package=sunfreeware
          comment=Sun GNU tools
          site=ftp.sunfreeware.com
          remote_dir=/pub/freeware/i386/10/
          local_dir+sunfreeware
          passive_ftp=true
  

• Start the mirror

  # mirror /usr/local/etc/mirror.conf
  

• Install then as root additional useful applications

  # cd /export/home/sunfreeware/
  
  # for i in
                # Nice to have

• Fix some ref to libs missing

  ln -s /usr/local/apr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0
  ln -s /usr/local/apr/lib/libapr-1.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libapr-1.so.0
  

• Configure sudo to allow your user to pass root commands easily (/usr/local/etc/sudoers)
• Download Project-Builder dependencies

  $ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.9402.tar.gz
  

• Install Project-Builder dependencies

  $ gzip -cd CPAN-1.9402.tar.gz | tar xf -
  $ cd CPAN-1.9402
  $ perl Makefile.PL
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  # /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/cpan
  [...]
  cpan[1]> install Test::Harness
  [...]
  cpan[2]> install File::MimeInfo
  [...]
  cpan[3]> install Date::Manip
  [...]
  cpan[4]> install Mail::Sendmail
  [...]
  cpan[5]> quit
  

• Download the source of project-builder.org

  $ wget ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/src/project-builder-latest.tar.gz
  $ wget ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/src/ProjectBuilder-latest.tar.gz
  

• Extract the sources

  $ gzip -cd ProjectBuilder-latest.tar.gz | tar xf -
  $ gzip -cd project-builder-latest.tar.gz | tar xf -
  

• Install the project

  $ cd ProjectBuilder-0.9.8/
  $ perl Makefile.PL
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ../project-builder-0.9.8/
  $ perl Makefile.PL
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  

• Test that project-builder is installed and working correctly

  $ /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/pb 2>&1 | head -1
  pb (aka project-builder.org) Version 0.9.8-807
  

• Be sure to have GNU tools first in your PATH

  $ cat >> ~/.bashrc << EOF
  export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
  EOF
