''(under construction)'' Christian Schaffer provided us with details about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system) Solaris] installations he uses to build and use GDAL. Check the [wiki:SupportedCompilers#TestedEnvironments Tested Environments] table for more information. Below, I pasted some helpful tips from Christian: General note: * we use binary packages of gcc from www.blastwave.org Settings to apply on SPARC only: * use gld from www.blastwave.org [=/opt/csw/bin/gld] * if using OCI: set LDFLAGS=-L/opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/lib32 before configure * if using OCI: edit GDALmake.opt like this before make {{{ C_PROFFLAGS = -g3 -pg -DDEBUG LIBS = -lclntsh -L/opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/lib32 -lm -lrt -ldl }}}
