All,
I would like to ask you for your suggestion concerning the best way to
install new packages.
1, Official Sun Solaris 10 CDs /DVD
I have several accompanies CDs (Solaris 10) downloaded from the
official Sun web site and now I want to install a new app. So how do
I found the requested app on the CDs? Do I have to go manually through
all of the CDs (ls ./Solaris_11/Product ) to find the requested app?
How do I guest the real application name from the official naming
schema? Does somewhere exist a list of all apps on the CDs with
description (link between Sun's names and apps' full names) and the
required dependencies? Does a tool exist, which can show in a more
convenient way all of the app on the CDs then going through all of
them with ls command?
2, Use sunfreeware.com (mirrors)
This looks really promising but installed gcc during
compilation/linking says (stdio.h: No such file or directory). Do I
have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to solve this.
3, www.blastwave.org
This simulates the Debian apt-get approach. It works and even it tries
to solve dependencies. (I have got the some problem with gcc/g++ as
mentioned above). However it duplicates already originally installed
apps (it tried to install the perl app again). These duplications can
be very unpleasant if you want to squeeze as much as space it is
possible and you have to after all solve the path problems (which app
will be really called).
So, I tried to summarize all the ways how to install apps on Solaris I
can think of and I would like to ask for your suggestions, experiences
with each of them.
Thank you in advance
Martin Poz.
