Solaris build host/target platform issues

2007-12-25 9:34:00

In the catagory of better late than never, here is a summary that I've been

holding back with for quite some time.

I had asked questions regarding Solaris OS version compatibility between that

used for building an application and that on which it is run. The answer, and

one that SHOULD have been obvious to me, is that you must compile on the oldest

version of Solaris on which your application must run, and that by definition,

it should be upward compatible to later versions. There are some special cases

where this does not work, in which case the application must be built on the

specific OS version(s) on which it is to run.

A late but grateful thank you to:
