The goal of this port is to get Sage compiling and passing all doctests on x86/x86-64 as well as 32 and 64 bit Sparc on Solaris 10 and higher. The only compiler supported for this port will be gcc 4.3.2, but as the gcc port matures we will look into full support for the Sun Forte compiler toolchain. 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, where the latest developer release of Sage is 4.1.1.rc0, Sage will build on SPARC. It has been successfully built on:

* A Sun Blade 2000 running Solaris 10 update 7 using gcc 4.4.0.

However, there are a few issues, which make the build not as simple as typing 'make' and coming back to find Sage running.

* The lisp interpreter 'ecl' used in Sage
Currently, attempts are only being made to build Sage in 32-bit with gcc, although full support is the Sun Studio Compiler Suite is planned.

   * As of Sage 3.3.alpha4 the compile works on Solaris x86 with the custom toolchain. When using a binary clisp-2.47.spkg on Solaris/Sparc and the custom toolchain the compile also finishes. Note that several patches have to be applied for most of the doctests to pass. See the latest status page for more info below.
 * 64 bit support for Solaris 10 on x86-64 as well as Sparc is planned for Sage 3.4, but will take a couple releases to be fully merged.

== Open Issues ==
 * clisp fails to compile on Sparc/Solaris up to clisp 2.47 with gcc 3.3.6 to 4.3.2. The switch to ecl will fix this.
 * Symmetrica detects internal inconsistency issues on Solaris. This is likely a bug in the interface code that just happens to cause trouble on Solaris only.
 * Sympow needs to have the FPU mode initialized properly on Solaris/x86. High optimization level for the compiler also break Sympow on Solaris/x86

== ToDo ==

 * make doctests pass 100% :)
 * make building toolchain automatic

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, where the latest developer release of Sage is 4.1.1.rc0, Sage will build on SPARC. It has been successfully built on:

* A Sun Blade 2000 running Solaris 10 update 7 using gcc 4.4.0.

However, there are a few issues, which make the build not as simple as typing 'make' and coming back to find Sage running.

* The lisp interpreter 'ecl' used in Sage Currently, attempts are only being made to build Sage in 32-bit with gcc, although full support is the Sun Studio Compiler Suite is planned.

Status

Various versions of Sage have been built on both OpenSolaris (x86) and on Solaris 10 on SPARC. However, the build process will require some manual intervention.
