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 ----- Forwarded message from Karl Behler - IPP - E1 <karl.behler@ipp.mpg.de> ----- Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:54:27 +0200 From: Karl Behler - IPP - E1 <karl.behler@ipp.mpg.de> 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???

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
