Title: SunOS/ELF

OldNewLine
1+The SunOS/ELF aka Solaris port is in maintenance mode.
2+
3+## Status
4+
5+- The SPARC/Solaris port works fairly well, and nightly testsuite runs keep it that way. It is tested occasionally (not under active development), see [[Lazarus on Solaris]].
6+
7+## Useful to know
8+
9+- FPC/Solaris currently uses the GNU Tool chain. <http://www.blastwave.org/> provides a prepackaged packages with a usable package manager for Solaris.
10+- <http://www.sunfreeware.com> also has the required GNU packages (make, libintl, gdb, binutils). Its assembler and linker are called gas/gld in order not to conflict with Sun's as/ld, but the compiler first search for these names. Remember to also use gmake rather than make when building FPC.
11+- The equivalent to strace/ktrace is called truss on Solaris.
