== The Solaris Port of Sage ==

This page tracks the Solaris port of Sage.

mabshoff is currently working on a 32 bit build on Solaris 9/Sparc. It should run on Solaris 10/Sparc.

== History of efforts ==

 * 2.10.1 (still on progres):
  * drop in of stdint.h in $SAGE_LOCAL/include makes everything compile up to libfplll
  * fix libfplll build issue [spkg at 1957]
  * known issue: ATLAS screws up the combined Lapack+ATLAS dynamic library build. Maybe this is ld related?
  * because of the above issue numpy cannot be imported properly. Creating an {{{liblapack.so}}} manually from {{{liblapack.a}}} and rebuilding numpy makes numpy work
  * rpy doesn't build: {{{error: conflicting types for 'uintptr_t'}}} - probable cause is 32 bit vs 64 bit issues
  * fix rubiks build issue [spkg at 1959]
 * 2.8.15:
  * The release has many Solaris specific fixes, but we need to fix #1325 before we will have something that can be used as a beta build.
 * 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
  * failed doctest: number of partitions broken - maybe fpu precision issues
  * failed doctest: Schubert polynomial triggers error in symmetrica
 * 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

== ToDo ==

 * make doctests pass 100% :)
 * open track tickets for all known issue
 * make building toolchain automatic
 * find way to make Sage aware of the toolchain
