Introduction to Porting Software to the OpenSolaris Binary Distro

With the inclusion and packaging of all necessary tools for your environment, OpenSolaris Binary codename "Indiana" makes porting even easier than it was before. The IPS packaging stuff makes it a breeze to install tools from the network repositories and by simply doing a:

pkg install ss-dev

you are nearly done with all you need. Basically all that is left is properly setting up your build environment.
