EPICS Notes for Solaris

Notes:

1. In order to build EPICS under Solaris 2, you must ensure that the
solaris directory /usr/ccs/bin is in your search path.

2. It is now possible to compile EPICS under Solaris 2 using either the
GNU gcc compiler or the Sun SPARCworks ANSI C compiler. The g++/
Sun SPARCworks ANSI C compiler combination has compiled and linked
without errors but has not been extensively tested.

3. EPICS under Solaris 2 no longer uses the UCB compatability libraries.
In order to ensure that the /usr/ucblib files are not inherited, you
should ensure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable does not
include /usr/ucblib when you build any of the host tools.
