Would Tomcat for UNIX (Solaris) also work on Linux

[Vijay Kumar <vi...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Would Tomcat for UNIX (Solaris) also work on Linux, or does Apache have
separate binaries for UNIX and Linux?


Thanks,

Vijay G

Tomcat only ships compiled .class files for *NIX, so they are
perfectly usable on Linux. The .sh scripts work out of the box.

The only missing component is the optional Tomcat native library[1],
which you'd have to compile yourself if you wanted to use it. That
library compiles cleanly on Linux with a standard toolchain.

Many of us use Tomcat on Linux all the time, myself included. You can
get any package you want -- except the .exe installers of course -- I
prefer the .tar.gz package.

Hope that helps,
