OpenSolaris Build Instructions

The page should be filled with useful information about how to build a recent version of OOo on the OpenSolaris platform. Some mailing list postings showed that this may not be an easy task.

Prerequisites

If you have a freshly installed OpenSolaris you may need the following packages to build OpenOffice.org. A package can be installed with:

 pfexec pkg install <packagename>

• SUNWgcc (if you build with gcc, not with Sun Studio. Note: this gcc package is linked against Sun ld and won't work for OOo)
• SUNWsunstudioexpress
• SUNWsvn (if you like to checkout sources via Subversion)
