Building MariaDB on Solaris and OpenSolaris

Notes and configuration tips for building MariaDB on Solaris and OpenSolaris platforms, including buildbot setup.

The following two articles should help you get your Solaris machine prepared to build MariaDB (just ignore the parts about installing buildbot):

• Buildbot Setup for Solaris Sparc

• Buildbot Setup for Solaris x86

Notes

• The BUILD dir contains various scripts for compiling MariaDB on Solaris. The BUILD/compile-solaris-amd64 and BUILD/compile-solaris-amd64-debug are probably the most useful.

• The scripts do not play nice with non-bash shells such as the Korn Shell (ksh). So if your /bin/sh is pointing at ksh or ksh93, you'll want to change it so that it points at bash.
