This is the distribution from the opensolaris.org guys, do not mix that up with os200805 which is the new OpenSolaris based distro from SUN.

• Select your development user. I will assume for the time being that the user is called freeswitch.
• Create the target directory for freeswitch

mkdir /opt/freeswitch; chown freeswitch /opt/freeswitch

• Give your build and development user software installation rights

usermod -P "Software Installation" freeswitch

• log out and log back in as the freeswitch user (so that the new permissions become active)

• download and unpack the new jds-cbe beta package:

/usr/sfw/bin/wget http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/cbe/test/desktop-cbe-1.7.0-rc1-x86.tar.bz2
gtar xvfz desktop-cbe-1.7.0-rc1-x86.tar.bz2"

Install JDS-CBE

cd desktop-cbe-1.7.0-rc1
./cbe-install

• leave everything as default. Select the SunStudio compiler as your default compiler.

• Download the spec-files-extra repository into a subdirectory called SFE

svn co https://pkgbuild.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pkgbuild/spec-files-extra/trunk SFE

• Load the jds-cbe environment

. /opt/dtbld/bin/env.sh

• Compile and install SFEunixodbc

cd SFE
pkgtool --download build SFEunixodbc.spec

• Download freeswitch trunk

svn co http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk fstrunk

• Prepare the freeswitch sources

cd fstrunk; ./bootstrap.sh

• and edit the modules.conf file to select which modules you would like to have installed

vim modules.conf

• Configure freeswitch sources for 64bit and let the c compiler apply some optimization

CFLAGS="-m64 -fast" CXXFLAGS="-m64 -fast" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure --prefix=/opt/freeswitch \

--enable-core-odbc-support --enable-core-libedit-support \

--enable-64 --with-openssl=/usr/sfw

• or for 32bit

CFLAGS="-m32 -fast" CXXYFLAGS="-m32 -fast" LDFLAGS="-m32" ./configure --prefix=/opt/freeswitch \

--enable-core-odbc-support --enable-core-libedit-support \

--with-openssl=/usr/sfw

• Drink a cup of coffee

• run make

gmake

• Install freeswitch into its target directory

gmake install

You are done

One of those days I will finish my SFE package than it will be even easier

diag-switch?

is set to true.

a simple setting of:

eeprom boot-device?=false

fixes that and allows live upgrade to handle its stuff like it should.

MilaX is a small size Live CD distribution which runs completely off a
CD or a USB pendrive. It is based on Solaris Nevada and includes its
basic features. What originally started as an experiment to see how
much Solaris software could fit in miniCD eventually became a
full-fledged OpenSolaris distribution. MilaX also it is possible to use
as Rescue-CD. It can be installed on storage media with small
capacities, like bootable business cards, USB flash drives, various
memory cards, and Zip drives. MilaX is free to use, modify and
distribute.

We are far too much defending ourselves against the image of being anti linux or anti something. Are we an anti movement ? I doubt it. We are pro familiarity. We are pro stability. We are pro innovation. We should show that more.

Maybe my writeup this morning is a bit confusing but to summarize my thinking, lets stop dealing so much with comparisons with other systems, lets show more of what we bring to the community, how we enable developers to dig deep down into the system (Ian plugged that nicely for PHP and Ruby developers today), how we are leading the way of the industry into an Adoption led Marketspace (hi Simon ) and how OpenSolaris is leading the way for tested, commercialy viable systems and applications into this new world of community and industry cooperation.

Just my 2 Rubels worth of thought for the day

I must say I like this since it fits to my line of thought.

This part actually does not make much difference between Solaris 10 and SXCE and I think Indiana neither, but what the heck, I will describe the latter two scenarios in part III and IV, sicne especialy for Indiana you will want to know how we can help you with creating IPS packages. Anyway, lets the games begin.

First lets get into the right environment, so lets do:

. /opt/jdsbld/bin/env.sh

feels much better now that we have the right VARS and PATH set.

Now lets get the SFE repository. Create a nice directory where you want to keep all your project files. Change into it and do:

svn co https://pkgbuild.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pkgbuild/spec-files-extra/trunk SFE

after a while of downloading you should now have a complete copy of the SFE repository. A a first example we will build a package of VIM.
Change into the freshly created SFE repo directory, and build the package. Since we want to build a package that can be transferred to other machines we have, lets make the package a one file package in datastream format. Since vim depends on cscope and ctags and pkgtool will not let us build packages whose dependencies haven’t been met, we add SFEctags.spec and SFEcscope.spec to the end of the line to build it as well.
Here we go

cd SFE
pkgtool --interactive --download --pkgformat=ds build SFEvim.spec SFEctags.spec SFEcscope.spec

After some downlaoding, some compiling we should now have a package called SFEvim.pkg in ~/jdsuser/packages/PKGS/SFEvim.pkg, which we can install and copy to other solaris 10 boxens to be installed there as well as usual with pkgadd. On our box its already installed. Would we have wanted not to install it, pkgtool would have required the command build-only instead of build, and we would have had to build and install SFEctags and SFEcscope first and than just create the SFEvim package.

Congrats for building your first SFE based SVR4 package.

I will assume in this article that the reader knows how to setup a developers workstation on Solaris 10 with SunStudio 12 or SunStudio Express. You will need to leave space for the common build environment on /opt, space for the SFE spec files and packages bulding and storage in your home directory and of course ahve enough space on your /usr partition for installing all the nice packages you create I also assume that you know about having enough swap space to run sunstudio and know how to compile software with it.

OK, so lets go.
Start with patching your system to the latest patchlevel. When done, insert your Solaris10U4 DVD or mount your iso image. Once you are done with that, you will need to select the user that will be your build user (we will use jdsuser for now) and change his security preferences by issuing the following command (thanks to trochej for corrrecting me. I first advised against better knowledge to edit the user_attr file directly):

usermod -P "Software Installation" jdsuser

download the following file:

http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/cbe/jds-cbe-1.6.0-src.tar

and extract it somewhere where you want to build it, it will need some space since it will create quite some new packages.
Change into the directory the unpacking process created called jds-cbe-1.6.0.
We will need to edit the file cbe-install but before we do that we need to change its permissions. So go ahead and do a

chmod 755 cbe-install

and than open the file cbe-install in your favorite editor and remove the two words:

SUNWsmbaS and SUNWseuos.

Save the file and run it

The install will ask for an installation directory, agree with it. It will complain about the compiler version not being the recommended one, ignore that and answer yes when it asks you if you want to use this compiler anyway.
CBE will now install all required optional packages as well as create some new ones and install them in /opt/jdsbld. Once finished you have all required stuff to use SFE and specfiles on your Solaris 10 box.

To use jds-cbe, just source /opt/jdsbld/bin/env.sh like this:

. /opt/jdsbld/bin/env.sh

and yes, there is a dot at the beginning of the former line.

Enjoy
