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. This will then be integrated into Sage. Before this, an experimental package of ecl is available, which solves this issue.
- Maxima will not build. This is because of a bug in Maxima, which has been noticed for the first time in 35 years. It was only noticed when the newest ECL detected the error.
