Discovering OpenSolaris and OOo build on it :)

Working with Frank Schoenheit and Pierre Pasteau on the moz2seamonkey01 cws, we had no proof our changes are ok on Solaris. The best I could do was to install OpenSolaris on a AMD XP4000+ / 3BG of RAM machine. After some garbage (I'm discovering this strange OS), I finally understood how to install -sort of- development environment.

And after some little changes I'll commit soon, I was even able to build seamonkey.1.1.13 zipped archives on OpenSolaris :-)

No hack, just trying to fix issue after issue, and I'm done.

The wiki is down, but I created a new task for students: build OOo on OpenSolaris. I think this is a difficult task, and it worth a try and a serious effort. I contacted Christian Lins, who started the effort some times ago, but if you are interested or want to give me some advice, feel free to contact me :)


To be continued (after FOSDEM )

P.S. : the wiki is down, but I put some stuff there
