4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer OpenSolaris Buildable Source
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferNote: if this is your first OpenSolaris installation, please see the
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfercurrently known issues section below to see the minimum build of
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferSolaris Express - Community Release required to build and install
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferOpenSolaris. Either an initial install or an upgrade will work,
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferprovided you use the "Entire Distribution" metacluster.
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferThis delivery of the Buildable Source consists of 4 or 5 pieces:
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer1. encumbered binaries tarball (on-closed-bins-DATE.PLATFORM.tar.bz2)
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer2. compiler (Sun Studio 11 is the preferred compiler, and it is free
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer for OpenSolaris community members. You can also use gcc; more on
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer that below.)
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer3. ON build tools package (SUNWonbld-DATE.PLATFORM.tar.bz2)
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer4. Pre-built BFU archives (on-bfu-DATE.PLATFORM.tar.bz2)
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer5. source tarball (on-src-DATE.tar.bz2; numbered builds only)
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferIf you just want to install the pre-built archives, you'll need the ON
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferbuild tools and the BFU archives. The tar file will unpack the
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferarchives-20050612/i386/). You should review Section A
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfer(changes since the last delivery) and Section B (known issues) before
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferfollowing the BFU instructions in the Developer's Reference

4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferIf you want to build from source, you will need the source, compiler,
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferON tools, and "extras" tools. The encumbered binaries tarball contains
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfercomplete binaries (libraries, kernel modules, commands) that are
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfercompatible with the source. These are binaries that cannot be built
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferusing only the source tarball for one reason or another. If you wish
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferto build the kernel (or some portion of it), or if you wish to build a
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupfercomplete set of installable archives, you will want the encumbered
4e5b757fbcf21077677360be274461dcd9064106kupferCurrently, to obtain source, you can either download the
20440d374537378b3a70ad0e68114ae064baa8f7Mike Kupferon-src-DATE.tar.bz2 tarball if you are downloading a
20440d374537378b3a70ad0e68114ae064baa8f7Mike Kupferbuild-synchronised delivery. Or, you can checkout from the Mercurial
