On OpenSXCE (OpenIndiana based distro for Sparc) I had to install CSWautoconf (included 2.63 is too old), CSWlibjpeg-dev (the original 6.2 version wouldn't load its symbols for some reason), CSWbzflag (easy way to pull in a bunch of OpenGL deps), CSWpkgconfig (very important to fix parse error in configure script), and uninstalled the original autoconf program. I still had to install OpenAL and Jansson, but OpenAL Soft had to be version 1.11.753 because no newer version would compile due to some opcode errors, and newer versions from git would not configure due to a pthread.h issue which doesn't seem to occur in the last release version or prior. Also, that openal soft's "gmake install" command ignored the cmake install prefix, so I had to install it by manually copying files to their destinations.
Install OpenAL
This is why git and cmake were installed while you had the package manager open. Clone the latest openal-soft from http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html, follow its build instructions, except use the following command instead of 'cmake ..':
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
Install Jansson
Jansson is the JSON library for C that is needed for the new WebUI dedicated server code. There is currently no Solaris package, so you will have to compile this from source. The latest version I can get working out of the box on Solaris 11.1 is [www.digip.org/jansson/releases/jansson-2.3.1.tar.gz Jansson 2.3.1]. Download the archive, extract it, cd into the new directory, then:
- ./configure --prefix=/usr
- gmake
- gmake check
- sudo gmake install
That will give you an installation of Jansson which pkg-config can find with no other environment editing required. Keep the jansson-2.3 folder around if you think you might want to run 'sudo gmake uninstall' at some point down the line, like if jansson ever gets into the package manager, or you want to upgrade.
Compile FS2
- svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/fs2open/trunk/fs2_open/
- cd fs2_open
- ./autogen.sh
- gmake
- TODO: Figure out why it can't find libGL.so.1 or the jpeg symbols in the virtual machine. See if a full blown desktop install has similar issues.
- cp code/fs2_open_* ../
