Anybody else out there trying to get this thing to compile on Solaris? I'm having some luck, but the build process is noisy as all hell.

Has anyone volounteered to maintain the Solaris port?

THis forum is meant to find the people interesting in helping compiling and testing Blender at all platforms.

Some services will be put in place as well. For example using Tinderbox (web interface to check compilation status of the latest version).

In general, 'maintaining' a release already works best when you actually use the platform for blender coding.

From the past I know that there are quite some Solaris users interested in helping out. BTW: are you talking Solaris intel or Sun?

I was refering to the Sparc version of Solaris.

So where do I sign up to help with the Solaris (Sparc) version

Give the autoconfiged version a try you can grab it at:
http://www.linux.ucla.edu/~phaethon/blender/blender-autoconf.html

If you have changes that need to be made.
just let phaethon know and he'll work them in.

(Right now its not autodetecting ssl and you might have to
do a little bit to get the python stuff to compile
other than that though it works great)

Blender under Solaris always had terrible screen artifacts with creator3d cards (not that i ever tried on something else).

it would be nice to have it work though, i have stuff i would like to do.

I'm trying the same thing on Solaris/Intel 2.8...

Anyone else getting the following errors?
opy_draw.c:1562:89: macro "glColor3b" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given
opy_draw.c:1564:95: macro "glColor3d" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given
opy_draw.c:1566:92: macro "glColor3f" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given
opy_draw.c:1568:86: macro "glColor3i" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given
opy_draw.c:1570:92: macro "glColor3s" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given

I'm pretty dang close to having it all built.

Not sure if any of you are trying to do this with CC instead of g++
but if you are you might want to look at this post:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85979

Basically I'd stick with g++
