Open SSL installtion on Solaris - 10
pattabi raman
Dr. David Kirkby
Solaris 10 comes with gcc 3.4.3 in /usr/sfw/bin, so I don't know why anyone
would want to install an older version.
-bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS kestrel 5.10 Generic_141444-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2
-bash-3.00$ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs
Configured with:
/sfw10/builds/build/sfw10-patch/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure
--prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --without-gnu-as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

while I've not attempted to build openssl, most things on solaris seem
to build better with the Sun CC compiler, which is now called Oracle
Studio. This is especially true for Sparc systems.
but, my Sol10 systems appear to already have an openssl in /usr/sfw/bin
(and libraries in /usr/sfw/lib, etc) which is maintained by Oracle

If they are written in C, C++ or Fortran that is so. They will
generally be faster. But if they are written in some GNU variant of
one of these languages, rather than standard conforming code, then you
may have a problem building it with anything other than GNU tools. The
defaults for the GNU compilers allow GNU extensions, so people do not
realise they are not writing C/C++/Fortran. They are in fact writing
in GNU C, GNU C++ or GNU Fortran.

Yes. It might be quite old though - depends on whether the system has
been patched or not.

They may not be the most recent but they are likely to be more recent then
the ones bundled with Solaris 10 or the Sun Freeware Tools companion cd.

yes, but its back patched against significant exploits. The solaris 10
development box I happened to look at has not had Solaris patches in
about a year (it was taken off support when Oracle screwed with the
pricing and wanted to only offer 'premiere' grade support we didn't want
to pay for), it says...
