Re: [Wlug] GNU utils on Solaris 8

by Charles R. Anderson

Why use GNU binutils? Just install the Solaris 8 SUNWbtool and/or SUNWbtoox (64-bit) packages. They install the toolchain utilities in /usr/ccs/bin which GCC needs to create binaries.

GNU utils on Solaris 8

by Brian J. Conway

Greetings. I'm once again picking up a project that I left off on now that Sun's site has updated the downloadble ISOs for Solaris 8 Intel to the 04/01 version. In the past I've gotten a decently customized install and had GCC and some other essentials loaded, but I can never seem to hunt down all the GNU utilities that I need. The one that comes to mind off the top of my head is 'ar', which is part of binutils, and I can't compile binutils as it needs 'ar'. I've scoured www.sunfreeware.com to no avail (though there is some great stuff on there that I always snag), nor is there a version on my system already. Any ideas? Brian J.

There's a way around this, by putting a java applet on the webserver of the box you want ssh access to. Downside: it's GPL, and if you provide the applet, you have to provide the source. Also, could be considered as "exporting cryptography software" if the server is in the US. http://www.mindbright.com/products/mindterm/ v1.2.1 is GPL. other versions aren't free. This is what I use, but I don't stick it in a public place and I don't tell people about it... Hmmm. I'm gonna have to kill -9 $(pidof you) now. -- Orion orion [at] tribble [dot] dyndns [dot] org "Boys in bed, girls in bed All now go to sleep Sleep, sweet dreams Wake to a new today tomorrow"

For sale: 19" sun monitor, 175 USD

by Keller, Tim

Hey Guys, Here's the skinny on it... Manufacturer: Sun Model: 365-1324 Max Resolution: 1280x1024 Sync Type: Composite H Freq/ V Freq: 88.1khz / 76hz Tube Manufacturer: Sony (Trinitron tube) Tube Size: 20" (19" viewable) Connector: 13W3 (however, they do make a 13W3 to 15pin vga adapter that works great) This is one of those sun monitors that has the little credit card remote in the front (which is still in there). The monitor is in mint condition and works fine. I'm asking 175 for it. Let me know if you want it. Thanks, Tim.
