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 Ultra 80 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).

=== Building Sage on Solaris SPARC ==
Solaris SPARC support is almost there, and things will change quickly. So ask on the sage-devel list for the most up to date information. If you want to try to build Sage on Solaris, the following is suggested
- Ensure you have a recent gcc. 4.2.4 is definately new enough. Some older versions may not be.
If gcc is configured to use the Sun linker and assembler (/usr/ccs/bin/ld & /usr/ccs/bin/as), ensure that /usr/ccs/bin is in your path before any directory containing a copy of the GNU assembler or linker. i.e. ensure that 'which ld' returns /usr/ccs/bin/ld and not something like /usr/local/bin/ld.
- Conversely, if your gcc was configured to use the GNU linker and assembler, ensure that the GNU tools are in the path before /usr/ccs/bin/. The reason for this is that the Sage source files check the linker and assembler versions, and expect these to be the same as what is used by gcc when compiling.
