Re: gEDA-user: geda vs. SPARC



Hey! 

That's a good tip!  Had I known that, I wouldn't have done it myself as they already have geda there, and spice, and pcb, and tons of other stuff too. 

Thanks,

Albert

Compiling Geda on Solaris can be a nightmare, especially when you're 
trying to find all the package dependencies.  Linux systems take a lot 
of packages for granted, and they may not be present on Solaris systems. 
    
 
 
  
Maybe we Solaris folk should get together and write a little howto, 
including required packages, libraries, path issues, etc. 

    
 
Well, one approach is to use NetBSD's pkgsrc under solaris.  I've 
done that on a solaris9 box and it builds geda quite nicely and easily
with all the dependencies too!  http://www.pkgsrc.org
