Wine on Solaris
|
|
If you use Solaris or Solaris Express, you may want to also use Wine to install Windows programs. There are few ways, but I will write about my favorite - one that uses SFE repository, which enables you to use other fantastic open source programs not packaged for Solaris yet.

First things first. You need Sun Studio IDE. SFE is a repository of rpm-like .spec files with few other arguments needed in Solaris environment. For building packages you'll need pkgbuild tool, Java Deskopt System Common Build Environment (you don't need source, only binaries). JDS-CBE requires/recommends a few packages available at Solaris DVD but not typically installed. The list is given at above link. Both JDS-CBE and SFE repository recommend using Sun Studio 11 with latest patches. Remember, patches are important, they fix bugs but also enable Sun Studio to use some of GCC extensions. I personally have compiled wine and it's prerequisits with Sun Studio Express, the development version of Sun Studio and I suppose you could use Sun Studio 12.
While you are downloading said software, you need to take away from your compilation user "Primary Administrator" role and give it "Software Installation" role. If you don't know what I mean, simply issue the following (as a root or as Primary Administrator) and some day take your time to read about RBAC: Full Story |
