Operating System/Networking (ON) Download CenterSeveral different software components support the ON consolidation. ON source components are covered under multiple open source licenses. The majority of the ON consolidation code is released under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) Version 1.0. Source based on existing open source projects will continue to be available under their current licenses. Some binary components are covered under the OpenSolaris Binary License and some are covered under other open source licenses. Please note: starting with build 25 (20051021), the pre-built BFU archives, the closed-bins tarballs, and the source tarball contain binaries/source for high key-strength crypto, known as the Encryption Kit (SUNWcry, SUNWcryr). Certain countries restrict the redistribution of high key-strength crypto. If you live in one of these countries, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are complying with your country's laws in this area.

How do I start?| Step 1: | | Before you begin, you will need to read the README. Really. The whole thing. | | Step 2: | | Once you are done reading the README, you will need to decide if you want to build the ON consolidation from the sources yourself (3a), or if you want to install the ON consolidation from the pre-built archives (3b). | | Step 3a: | Step 3b: | | If you choose to build from source, you will need: | If you choose to install from pre-built archives, you will need: | A system installed with a suitable OpenSolaris distribution, which at this time is limited to Solaris Express: Community Release: Please refer to the Currently Known Issues page for the minimum build of Solaris Express, Community Edition required to build ON from source. You will then need to download the compilers specific to your platform . Choose either: - The Sun Studio Compilers (Recommended). NOTE: Sun Studio 11 is required for building Build 45 and higher. Builds prior to Build 45 use Sun Studio 10.
NOTE: We suggest Option 1: download install image when using Sun Studio 10 -or-
- The GCC Compiler found in Solaris Express, Community Edition build 22 or later.
NOTE: Please see the gcc tools page for more information if choosing this option. The support for gcc is not yet complete.
You will then need to download the following tar files. See Where can I get the tar files for download detail. - The ON-Specific Build Tools, named:
SUNWonbld-DATE.PLATFORM.tar.bz2
- The Source. For build-synchronized deliveries, you can download a source tarball named All other source access is through the Mercurial repository; see the ON/Nevada Project page for details. Note that Mercurial access is currently in Beta; be prepared for outages.
- The Closed Binaries–OS/Networking (ON) Components, named:
on-closed-bins-DATE.PLATFORM.tar.bz2
Once you have downloaded the files listed above for your platform, follow the instructions in the README to build and install your ON consolidation binaries. | A system installed with a suitable OpenSolaris distribution, which at this time is limited to Solaris Express: Community Release: Please refer to the Currently Known Issues page for the minimum build of Solaris Express, Community Edition required to build ON from source. You will then need to download the following tar files. See Where can I get the tar files for download detail. You will need the specific ON BFU Archives for your platform, named: on-bfu-DATE.PLATFORM.tar.bz2
Then download the ON-Specific Build Tools, named: SUNWonbld-DATE.PLATFORM.tar.bz2
Once you have downloaded the files listed above for your platform, follow the instructions in the README to install the ON consolidation binaries. |
Option 1: sun.com HTTP download Option 2: sun.com BitTorrent Option 3: opensolaris.org Mercurial repository Option 4: genunix.org HTTP download (mirroring Option 1) Option 5: genunix.org Subversion repository Now what?The README has specific information about the most recent ON source and binary snapshot and detailed instructions for building and installing. These instructions are intended to work for most people, but may not work for everyone. If you need help, don't despair! There are numerous resources available to help you build and install successfully: - If you have decided to build with gcc, be aware that the sources listed above will not compile with gcc. Read the information in the tools/gcc community get the appropriate sources and the information you'll need to build successfully.
- If you are having difficulty obtaining, installing, or using the Studio 10 compilers, please see the resources in the tools/studio 10 community.
- If you have all the files listed above but are having difficulty following the instructions in the release notes, you should:
After downloading and unzipping segments, reconstruct the full DVD image by using the cat command (UNIX systems) or the COPY command (Windows systems). The correct syntax is: - UNIX:
cat file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 > file.iso - Windows:
copy /b file1 + file2 + file3 + file4 + file5 file.iso
You may then burn the resulting DVD ISO image. |
