Building MariaDB on Solaris and OpenSolaris

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.
