OpenSolaris license is pretty tight and makes hard to use their sources to
anything else except hacking with solaris. You can fork the solaris code
and start releasing your own solaris version but you can not mix their code
for BSD or with GNU softwares. Better to avoid.

Have you tried:

  patch args <<EOF
patch goes here
EOF

The default is read patches from stdin.

Hello Dave,

I always thought that export by name will create an ordinal number in
executable anyway. Just write correct .def file to make ordinals of
your exported names match ordinal numbers of old Z.DLL - and your DLL
can be linked with both types of programs.

Best regards,

Subject:   suggestions for package to test installation

Hi,
I have just installed GCC etc etc etc, and I would like to test the compiler and the associated progs. Any suggestions for a package whose compilation would be useful (even helpful) test of the installed compiler system?
Thanks
Jeremy Harbinson
