| * 2.8.14: * new bug in matrix code that provides a special class for multivariate polynomials as entries causes segfaults all over the map. * int_fast64_t needs to be 4 bytes large, otherwise Sage throws an exception at startup. This needs fixing and actually causes doctest failures with the modp code * libfplll miscompiles, fix clear, but needs to be merged upstream * FLINT miscompiles, fixed upstream * lcalc miscompiles, fixes need to be integrated * clisp compiles, but segfaults. Solution: use 2.39 binary until issue is solved * cvxopt doesn't work (complex.h missing) * 2-3 patches are needed to sage.spkg - easy fixes, need to be merged upstream * 2.8.3: * worked reasonably well after workarounds, about 10-12 doctest failures * work arounds needed: clisp, lcalc * missing/failed spkgs: cvxopt * pre 2.8: * various people (David Kirby) worked on this, but I am not sure if Sage ever passed 100% of doctests |

The Solaris Port of Sage
This page tracks the Solaris port of Sage. This page is primarily maintained by David Kirkby.
Goal
The goals of this port are to get Sage compiling and passing all doctests on OpenSolaris (x86/x86-64) as well as 32 and 64 bit SPARC on Solaris 10 and higher.
SPARC status
As of the 4th August 2009, several older copies of Sage have been built. The most recent is:
- Sage 4.1.1.rc0 (a developer release) was built on a Sun Blade 2000 running Solaris 10 update 7. For this, gcc/g++/gfortran versions were 4.4.0. The GNU compilers were built to use the Sun linker (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) and the Sun assembler (/usr/ccs/bin/as).
Issues
- ECL which is an implementation of the Common Lisp language is used inside Sage for Maxima. The version of ECL in Sage will not build on Solaris SPARC. Neither will version 9.4.1 of ECL, which is the latest as I write. However, the ECL developers have fixed the issue in the latest CVS. A new release of ECL is expected before the 9th August.
