E17 User Guide/Installing on Solaris

Installing on Solaris E17 does work on Solaris. Let's explain how to set it up on a fresh installed system.

Install pkg-get and set Blastwave as a package mirror. Install the following packages:

• autoconf
• automake
• berkeleydb43
• binutils
• common
• curl
• curlrt
• cvs
• expat
• freetype
• gawk
• gcc4core
• gcc4corert
• gdbm
• ggettext
• glib
• gm4
• gmake
• gsed
• jpeg
• krb5_lib
• libiconv
• libidn
• libtool
• libxrender
• ncurses
• openssl
• perl
• pkg_get
• pkgconfig
• png
• render_dev
• texinfo
• tiff
• zlib

Set your $PATH environment variable to include:

/usr/ucb:/etc:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/sbin:/opt/csw/bin:/opt/csw/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin

Add /var/ld/ld.conf with these two lines in ld.conf:

Default Library Path (ELF): /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/X11/lib:/opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/ssl/lib
Trusted Directories (ELF): /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure

Then update your libraries using this command:

$ crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/X11/lib:/opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/ssl/lib

You're ready to install E. Go back to "Installing Using CVS" or "Installing Using Development Snapshots".
