This is my attempt to convert opensolaris into a tolerable system using pkgsrc to provide some essential applications like zsh(1) and screen.
Getting GCC on the system
- Download gcc and libiconv packages from http://sunfreeware.com/
- gunzip the files and install them by doing `pkgadd -d </path/to/file>` as root
- Add /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin to $PATH as root
Bootstrapping pkgsrc
- Fetch the latest pkgsrc tarball from ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/
- cd into /usr
- gunzip </path/to/tarball> | tar -xvf -
- After the tarball is untarred, you should have /usr/pkgsrc
- cd into /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
- As root, run `./bootstrap` to bootstrap pkgsrc
Building gcc from pkgsrc
- put the following in /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf:
USE_PKGSRC_GCC=YES GCC_REQD+=3
- add /usr/pkg/bin, /usr/pkg/sbin and /usr/ccs/bin to $PATH
- Run `crle -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local:/usr/pkg/lib:/usr/pkg/lib/gcc3` as root
- cd into /usr/pkgsrc/lang/gcc3-c
- bmake install clean
- When that's done use pkginfo to find out the names of the sunfreeware packages you installed earlier and remove them.
- rebuild devel/libtool-base using the new gcc and `bmake update` it
- You should now have a working pkgsrc toolchain
...probably more to come...
Troubleshooting
libiconv fails to compile
Check that /usr/pkg/bin/libtool has AR='ar' set, if not, add /usr/ccs/bin to $PATH and rebuild/reinstall libtool-base
gtexinfo or gcc fail to compile due to missing libgcc_s.so.1
If gtexinfo bitches about a missing libgcc_s.so.1 try linking /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 to /usr/pkg/lib. This fixed the issue for me... Probably should remove this as soon as gtexinfo and gcc and build and rebuild gtexinfo once gcc is built from pkgsrc.
perl5 fails to build
If when building lang/perl5 you get the error:
perlio.c:2899: error: structure has no member named `_file'
run `CVS_RSH=ssh cvs update -A` in the directory to fetch the latest pkgsrc stuff for building perl. This should only affect pkgsrc versions 2006Q4 and below.
