Precompiled package Software for Solaris 8/x86
Instructions:
-- bunzip2 MWpackage.i86pc-solaris5.8.bz2
-- pkgadd -d MWpackage.i86pc-solaris5.8
Optimization is set for the Pentium Pro/PII/PIII/Celeron
chips.
GNU - various GNU tools precompiled, all installed in /opt/local. Note: libstdc++ is part of gcc.
Window Managers
- various Window Managers precompiled
all installed in /opt/X11R6 with
the exception of enlightenment which
is installed /opt/gnome/enlighenment.
I've tried to included all the packages
needed for each WM, but I might have
missed somthing (tell me if I have)
Gnome
- Most of the core distribution needed for
gnome. I'll be updating this as I build
more packages. Installed in /opt/gnome.
Libraries - Miscellaneous libraries neede for almost all the tools compiled here. Most are installed in /opt/local, but a couple (rplay) might be in /opt/X11R6 or /opt/gnome. Almost everything has been built with a shared library component which does not normally have one (libgsm, tiff, gmp)
Utilities - Perl, Berkeley DB (2/3), tcl, other tools.
Perl requires Gnu GDBM among other packages
