Re: [platform-swt-dev] Compiling swt libs on Solaris x86_64

[Ben Staniford <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Billy, 

Thanks for getting back to me, I tried what you suggested but I'm afraid I got 
exactly the same problem with accessing gtk.os.memmove().  Is it right that 
each of the different packages contains different source?  I thought they 
just contained different binaries.  After all, the build.sh and 
make_linux.mak and make_solaris.mak seem to suggest that the source is common 
and can be built for any platform depending on what `uname -s` returns in 
build.sh.

Thanks though, any other thoughts would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Benj
