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, the following versions of Sage have been built.

* 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). * Sage

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.
