Re: [platform-dev] Building on Solaris x86

[Grant Gayed <Grant_Gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alex,

Since Solaris-x86 is not a supported
platform, we don't test on it or even have such a setup here.  However,
if there are swt changes that can be made to make Solaris-x86 work better
without compromising the other motif platforms then these would be considered.
 One such recent example is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=41968
.  What you can do is:

- for each problem log a separate bug
report with Platform - SWT, and make sure to specify Solaris9-x86 as your
platform
- if you have a patch then attach it
to the report, branched off the 3.0 code base is preferrable
- if the problem is specific to Solaris
9-x86 then you'll be asked to verify the final fix before it's committed
to HEAD; if the problem is not specific to your platform then we can test
it

Hello,
 
I looked at a few trials on building eclipse
for Solaris x86.  I followed the directions but some files seemed
to be missing anyway I got it working and fired eclipse up.  It was
a mess and had problems – several parts did not function properly.  I
would like to officially contribute and work out a build for Solaris on
Intel instead of others having to go through my pain.  Perhaps by
donating my time the eclipse folks can help me out in achieving the goal.
 
I’m not asking for commit privs into CVS
or anything like that - I can just email any build changes to someone on
the team.  Do I have someone to sponsor me?  I really want eclipse
to work like  a champion on solaris intel.
 
Alex
