Subject: Solaris_x86 HOST: Precompiled binaries in pkgadd format + 9 
high res. Screenschots

Hi all,

here is what I announced around two weeks ago.

Not yet perfect (no slirp, i386-softmmu only).
But works (and I hope it will do so on your machines).
The modified Source tree is also included.
As well as an OpenDOS (yes, not FreeDOS) image I created today.
I plan to keep things online, so that every interested Solaris user (if 
any) can get a quick and easy solution.

Any improvements are welcome and I can / will try to add them.
Or do it for yourself and send me patches, whole packages or whatever 
(but still Solaris - related).

Unfortunately my time does not allow me to do any improvements by myself 
anymore.


Thank you,
Martin

Juergen,

you're the best one.

In secret I knew you would have it running.

Yes - too much compile time errors.
Missing include files, parsing errors (caused by the partly missing, 
partly incompatible) *.h files.

All that eats my time and I will get into struggle, if I do not stop now 
(for this year).
But I wanted to build a first publicly available pkgadd package.

I'm just going to make some PR for QEMU.
(www.solariscentral.org)
Let's se, whether they will accept my submission.

I also plan to ask both www.sunfreeware.com and SUNW's Companion CD 
department.
It would help Solaris to compete against VMware based systems.

Of course your help is *very* appreciateb by me, as you have lots more 
UNIX programming experience, knowledge == background than me.


Finally going to bed now (yesterday's session);

best regards,
Martin
