Sage 3.3 on Solaris x86 build notes

Note: Please check the main Solaris bit porting page for the more info on this port.

3.3.alpha6 on SOLARIS

Builds out of the box, but does not have the following fixes:

• RANDMAX setting (unclean patch, so not upstream yet)
• Singular pexepct (unclean patch, so not upstream yet)
• Sympow flag fixes (x86 only)

Open issues: There are less than ten issues left to fix and some of them already have fixes that need to be cleaned up. All but three issues are identical on both x86 and Sparc:

• Summetrica interface problem
• Nan vs. nan [has fix, needs to be cleaned up]
• inf vs. Infinity [has fix, needs to be cleaned up]
• coercion oddity - sparc specific
• various pexpect issues

• HeilbronnCremona() strangeness

• large allocation failure fails [change doctest?]
• pow()/axes.py problem
• numerical noise problems [trivial to fix]

Trivial to fix numerical noise:

sage -t  "devel/sage/sage/rings/polynomial/complex_roots.py"
