This README describes pkgsrc on a variety of Solaris-derived operating
systems. It corresponds to pkgsrc/platform/SunOS.mk. The relevant
operating systems are:
- - Solaris (from Sun/Oracle, also Sun Solaris, Oracle Solaris)
- - OpenSolaris (from Sun)
- illumos (open-source fork, OpenIndiana, OmniOS, SmartOS, and others)
+ - Solaris (from Sun/Oracle, also Sun Solaris, Oracle Solaris)
+ - OpenSolaris (from Sun; superseded long ago by illumos)
-OpenSolaris has not been maintained for a very long time, so the only
-platforms of interest are Oracle Solaris and illumos distributions.
-As of 2022, pkgsrc is believed to work well on Oracle Solaris and
-illumos. pkgsrc is not currently known to work on SunOS 4 or
-OpenSolaris.
+As of 2022, the primary platforms of interest where pkgsrc is known to

Prerequisites
-------------
You will need a working C compiler. The two known options are gcc and
-Sun/Solaris Studio. gcc can come from Sun, or other places. On some
-systems, there is only one feasible choice.

As with pkgsrc on other platforms, one should use the same compiler
family and ideally the same compiler version for building all packages.
