Epics R3.12.1 will build under Solaris v2.4 after making some known
portability changes which can be obtained from the individual responsible
for the solaris platform, Andrew Johnson. I believe that it is still true
that the solaris versions of EPICS R3.12.1 has not been extensively tested.
Epics R3.12.2, which will be available at the end of October, will build
under Solaris v2.4 without any changes.
Not all extensions can be built under native solaris 2.4 yet. The list by
Mark Rivers of solaris buildable extensions from the extensions_04_13_95.Tar
file was fairly complete. Some of these extensions required some portability
changes for the native solaris build. These portabilitiy changes should be
committed by the time the next extension tar file is generated, at the end
of October, so hopefully the next extensions tar file will contain solaris
buildable extensions that will build without changes.
The EPICS future plans are to fully support solaris. Here at ANL we have
switched two of our operations workstations to solaris v2.4 for testing
and some of our developers have already converted their workstations to
solaris. Our plans are to move completely from SunOS to solaris after
operations and developers feel comfortable with it.
