Hi Karl, let me forward that to our dev list, so others have the
opportunity to chime in -

generally, you'll see that, once initial steps are made, other
people will start to show up & help. IIRC there was previous
interest, at least for building on openindiana.

As for where to start:

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/

(i.e. grab the git repos, install the prerequisites)

You'll hit a few bumps for sure, the best place for ~immediate help
then is irc: #libreoffice-dev

Also, you may find helpful tips here:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Solaris

Please let us know how this works out,

HTH, Thorsten

Subject: Re: [tdf-discuss] LibreOffice 3.3.3 binaries for Solaris SPARC and
        Solaris X86

Dear Thorsten,

we at our institute have the platforms required available (SPARC and
X86), we also on a regular basis maintain our Solaris OS and Solaris
compilers, also we do a little software development (mostly in C), but
nobody of us was ever involved in such a huge PD project. In fact we
are mostly occupied with administrative and maintenance stuff. Would
you think, we (in fact I) have a chance to take over the duties you
mentioned? At the beginning I could try to make LO from source and
find out if that works. However, if there will be some problems I
probably would need a lot of help.

Any advice, where to start with???

Regards,

Karl

My question is: Why is LO 3.3.3 not available for Solaris (any)?
Or will it be available at some time?

Hi Karl,

every platform LibreOffice ships on needs a team of motivated
people, that

  * regularly build it on that platform
  * are willing to fix bugs
  * ultimately provide release builds

So far, nobody stepped up for Solaris - maybe it can be you?

If you're interested in helping out, our developer list is the right
place to go: libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org

Cheers,

-- Thorsten
