pkgsrc works like a charm on NetBSD and DragonFly systems, and, supports (with some problems) several different OSes.

Congratulations to the pkgsrc developers for the nice work! Fri, 20 Apr 2007 19:49:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (ebasconp) Comments SunOS? http://www.osnews.com/thread?232566 http://www.osnews.com/thread?232566
but also supports AIX, BSD/OS, Darwin, FreeBSD, IRIX, Interix, Linux, OSF1, OpenBSD, and SunOS


Pardon me, but isn't SunOS now called Solaris? Minor issue, anyway.

SunOS, x86 x86pc

instead of x86_64.

I do not know why you must compile your applications with -m64 option on gcc (in Solaris Express) if you want a 64 bits app. Other OSes in their 64 bits versions, take this as a default.

This guy wrote a patch to deal with this problem and provide a lot of apps on Solaris through pkgsrc:

Thanks for the hard work and dedication.

I would also like to think David Brownlee for pkg_chk. Another great piece of work. Sat, 21 Apr 2007 12:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (MarkSThomas) Comments
