Solaris support?

Hey, guys -

Should the pre-built JOGL jars for Solaris in the ver. 2.3.1 jogamp-all-platforms distribution package work with Solaris 5.1? I have a custom signed set of jars hosted on my server, including those for non-sparc processors running Solaris. I have a report that it isn't working on a machine running Solaris 5.1.  (It is working on Windows, Fedora, OSX, etc.) Is that to be expected? And where can I find documentation describing the Solaris versions that are supported?

Thanks for your time -

Our build server produces 32- and 64bit binaries
for i386 and amd64 OpenIndiana running on the illumus kernel.

SunOS jogamp04 5.11 oi_151a8 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

IMHO they should work on Solaris 5.1 .. hmm.

Maybe you can be more specific how it fails to work,
i.e. by trying to run the version-info:

<http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Jogamp_Versioning_and_Releases#Runtime_Debug_Logs>

Please test w/ latest release 2.3.1

pls follow our HowToBuild guide and make sure
all the Xorg developer packages for mentioned
extensions are installed. Pls use the GCC compiler,
since we have not tested compilation w/ SunStudio for years.

Hi, Sven -


Thanks for the response.

Yeah, I don't think I want to embark on a whole custom build project just yet. I don't even know what version of the JRE is running on the box in question (but I'm willing to bet it's way out of date). I just wanted to know, generally speaking, if 2.3.1 was compatible with Solaris 5.1.

The machine in question is part of an instrumentation package, and I wouldn't want the programmer to try and update the JRE just for my little project.  And he shouldn't, and probably wouldn't. Some of the instrumentation software is Java-based. He was good enough to try a little experiment, and I'll let it go at that.

But thanks again for the response.

I think I may have identified the trouble - the machine in question is running JRE 5u10.
