3.11. Notes for Solaris 2.x Host Environment

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:

Download the http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/GNUgettext.0.10.40.SPARC.32bit.Solaris.8.pkg.tgz package.
Untar the package to a temporary directory and copy the macros to the /usr/local/share/aclocal directory:
```
$ cp GNUgettext/root/usr/local/share/aclocal/*.m4 /usr/local/share/aclocal
```
