Torque on OpenSolaris

Just got it running. SXDE 9/07, Sun Ultra 40 M2.

What I needed:

• Solaris 10, Developer Edition (This is called SXDE for short)


• The Torque game engine


• pkg-get


• patience

The main gotchas:

• You'll need a new SDL. pkg-get -i libsdl


• You'll need OpenAL. pkg-get -i openal


• cpp -dM will show you that 'sun' is defined by the preprocesser. You'll have to modify the code to #ifdef sun/#undef sun/#endif in a few places. Just let the error messages guide you.


• The Makefile's pretty close to the standard conf.UNIX.mk


• nasm (you'll have to make & install that, but it's literally configure ; make && make install) will need -f elf -dLINUX to do what you want correctly.
