processing on solaris
Jul 17th, 2007, 1:20am  
Has anyone tried to port processing to Solaris? I'd love to use it for my class in the fall but our lab machines are running solaris. I've started down the road to building it myself but haven't made it all of the way yet.

I'm currently up to:

Building PDE for JDK 1.4
ANTLR Parser Generator   Version 2.7.7 (2006-11-01)   1989-2005

javac: target release 1.3 conflicts with default source release 1.5

Hi,
this is what I did to get Processing running on Solaris..:
I have recent Solaris Nevada here (sometimes referred as 'Solaris 11', but it's basically Solaris 10 - that should, however, not matter since the biggest hassle was to change shell script that runs processing, therefore it should be ok on any more or less recent version of Solaris)
- I've changed line #3 in processing shell script to
APPDIR=`dirname $0`
( original line APPDIR=$(dirname "$0") )
- installed jikes from blastwave.org - follow HOWTO use Blastwave on site, then do /opt/csw/bin/pkg-add -i jikes
- copied jikes from /opt/csw/bin/jikes into processing folder
- completely remove java folder from processing folder - you should have some Java installed on machine

After this it should be possible to run processing by invoking its startup script
Hope that helps

you also probably need

javac -source 1.3 -target 1.3
and
javac -source 1.3 -target 1.1

instead of just

javac -target 1.3
or
javac -target 1.1

though really, you don't need to recompile at all for solaris, just follow the instructions in the reference for adapting to other *nix platforms.
