The Goodies for I/A CD 106529-08.tar ------------- This is the "Shared Libraries for C++" patch from Sun. This is required for Star Office to work. Untar the file, cd to its directory, and execute "./installpatch ." If you want to see what patches are installed, you can do "showrev -p". You should probably read the Install.info file that is in the tar file as well before you start. apache-1.3.3-sol25-sparc-local.gz --------------------------------- Web server. Probably the most prevalent on the web. Cassandra_Archive.htm --------------------- This is a local copy of the Archive web page. If you view it with Navigator, you can click on the links to download more stuff. communicator-v479-us.sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1.tar.gz -------------------------------------------------- Netscape communicator. Have not tried this yet. download_help.htm ----------------- Read this. It talks about how to do the pkgadd when you don't have enough space in your /var partition (which you don't). FAQ-OMatic-2.714.tar.gz ----------------------- Works with your web server and Perl to maintain an information repository. Ideal for help desks or intra-company knowledge. Heck, I use it just to keep track of "I/A tricks" just on my own. It does not replace Alex, but it could replace some others. And the coolness factor is way up there. You need Perl and a web server. Oh, yes, it is portable so it works on Windows machines as well. Did I mention it is free? ===========FAQ-OMatic Quickstart========== % perl Makefile.PL % make % make install % mv fom /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/fom (or wherever your CGIs live.) % netscape http://localhost/cgi-bin/fom (or whatever browser you prefer) (or whatever the URL would be to execute the CGI) * subscribe to faqomatic-users (see link to FOMFOM at bottom). * add your Faq-O-Matic (a description is fine if it's not public) to the List of Faqomatics (on the FOMFOM). * send Jon a postcard, if you're feeling generous. =========== gcc-2.95.3-sol25-sparc-local.gz gcc-3.1-sol25-sparc-local.gz gcc-3.2-sol25-sparc-local.gz ---------------------------- Various versions of the C++ compiler. 2.95.3 is the most stable. You will need 3.1 if you need to interface C with Perl. Version 3.2 is the latest. It's not just C and C++ anymore--you get Fortran and Java compilers too. Pascal and Ada are also available. gzip-1.3.3-sol25-sparc-local ---------------------------- You need this to unzip the .gz files IMagick/ directory -------------------------------- This directory has the things you need to make ImageMagick with the zlib, png, and jpeg delegates. First gunzip all the .gz files, then tar xvf the .tar files. Build and install (Generally --> "./configure; make test; make install" type of thing) each of the items. Do the zlib first because png needs it. I did the jpeg last. Then when you are done you can install ImageMagick. IMagick/ImageMagick-5.5.1-sparc.tar.gz -------------------------------- This is NOT a 'package'. It is my entire ImageMagick... directory tarred up after I built the binaries. I could not find a make target to just build a binary distribution. It does have the binaries I compiled on my box with the enclosed gcc v3.2 compiler. This means you don't have to build it, but you do have to install it. After you unzip the package, you should be able to do a "make install". If you want to rebuild the code, do a "make clean" followed by "./configure". This will show you what delegates you have. If you have built and installed the zlib, png, and jpeg delegates, you should see that ImageMagick has found them. Then do a "make install". The software installs into /usr/local/ You can do a "make test" to test out all the stuff (BTW, "make test" did not work on my machine. , but it still works) If you want to make a new binary distribution, I thought "make dist-gzip" would do it, but I don't think that had the binaries in it. Of course, you need gzip installed first. make-3.79.1-sol25-sparc-local.gz -------------------------------- gmake. Often require for OpenSource projects mysql-3.23.45-sol25-sparc-local.gz ---------------------------------- Free SQL database. navigator-v478-us.sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1.tar.gz ----------------------------------------------- Netscape browser ncurses-5.2-sol25-sparc-local.gz -------------------------------- In case you want to play with the terminal. I think tcl needs this perl-5.8.0-sol25-sparc-local.gz ------------------------------- Latest version. New support for Unicode. PLC-0.1.0.tar.gz -------------------------------- Can you believe it? A perl module that talks to PLC-5 and ControLogix. Very experimental. pstree-2.17-sol25-sparc-local.gz -------------------------------- Does `ps`, but in a hierarchical fashion. samba-1.9.17p2.gz samba-2.0.7-sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1.tar.Z ---------------------------------------- Use this to put your I/A on a MS network. You can Map Network Drive to your I/A just like it was an NT box. Now you can use your favorite editor without doing the file-transfer. Includes swat to do the configuration from a web browser. Don't do samba without swat. Use the version 2.0.7 so-5_2-ga-bin-solsparc-en.bin ----------------------------- This is the Star Office binary distribution for Solaris. This is an executable file. You just run this and it installs. You must have the "Shared Libraries for C++" patch from Sun installed. sunfreeware_sparc-25.htm ------------------------ A link to the place I got most of this stuff. There is a LOT more there. tar-1.13.19-sol25-sparc-local.gz ------------------------------ GNU tar. Needed for many builds, especially gcc and perl tcsh-6.06.tar ------------- Binary distribution of tcsh, a replacement for csh that has nice file completion and history like you like it. tcl-8.3.3-sol25-sparc-local.gz tk-8.3.3-sol25-sparc-local.gz ------------------------------ More stuff for programmers. top-3.5beta12-sol25-sparc-local.gz ---------------------------------- A nice `top` replacement to see what processes are hogging the CPU vnc-3.3.3r2_sn4_sosV_5.5.tgz ----------------------------- vnc is PC Anywhere for your Solaris box. But its free. You have to get the windows version from the web if you want to connect to your I/A from your PC. With vnc, you get a new display, you don't drive the mouse and keyboard like PCAnywhere, this means n people can really work on the box at the same time. On your PC, it installs in a snap and you don't even have to reboot. workman-1.3.gz -------------- Play music CD's while you work on your AW! xterm80.pdf ----------- Copied from the Cassandra site. Ron Deen's excellent adventure into X.
