If you use
a Solaris 2.x host environment, you need additional
freeware packages (mostly GNU tools) to install and especially to
build the
ELDK packages. The following table lists all required
packages that must be installed on the Solaris host system
before attempting to build and/or install the
ELDK. All these files except those marked with (**) (and the RPM and
zlib-1.1.2 packages, which are available at
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/solaris
are available for free download at
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/2.6/

The packages marked "(*)" are not absolutely required, but sooner or
later you will need them anyway so we recommend to install them.
The packages marked "(**)" are older versions of the ones currently
available at
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/2.6/.
You can obtain them from the DENX public
FTP server.
The following symbolic links must be created in order to be able to
build the
ELDK on a Solaris machine:
/usr/local/bin/cc --> /usr/local/bin/gcc
/usr/lib/libiconv.so.2 --> /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 --> /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5
Additionally, to be able to build the
ELDK on Solaris, you must place
newer GNU
gettext macros to the
/usr/local/share/aclocal directory. This
can be accomplished as follows:
