Solaris GCC or Sun Studio?
Hello,
As far it regards Solaris,I have noticed that the building scripts of OpenOffice
assume that one is building with Sun Studio. This compiler is a bit outdated
and of course GCC is available for most platforms. Since LibreOffice has
removed support for Sun Studio, I guess it would be a goof idea to remove
support for Sun Studio. It adds complexity without reason. For example,
I tried to compile a module and it failed just because it assumed that
I was using Sun Studio.
Kind regards,
A.S.

I replying from a mobile device... The problem is that the file solaris.mk under gbuild/platform assumes that one uses Sun Studio. So one needs to replace this file with one that would actually work under Solaris+gcc. Once I had compiled clang but I guess current versions should compile, with some modifications.
Best regards,
Apostolos

Today that would be Oracle Solaris Studio, current version seems to be
12.3.
There is no buildbot for the Solaris version of OpenOffice and it is not
tested. So, in a sense, we have already dropped support for Solaris
:-) But there are others on this list that are currently doing a
Solaris build. Anybody still using Sun|Oracle Studio?
By the way, is clang also available on Solaris?

Some people are still using SunStudio for building OpenOffice. Please
see the thread http://markmail.org/thread/5gnsk7hmehxfdthx for more
details and the problems that result from this platform, but we
shouldn't remove it yet.
