Download and Installation Instructions


Sunfreeware offers Solaris 10 and Companion CD SVR4 packages. All Solaris 2.5-11 packages are available on unixpackages.com.

To find the package you want, go to the right menus and click on SPARC/Solaris 10, x86/Solaris 10, or Companion CD. The Companion CD link with take you to that page which has all those files and iso bundles. Installation instructions for those are there.

Clicking on SPARC/Solaris 10 or x86/Solaris 10 gives you a long list on the right of the packages currently available. Scroll down to the one you want and click on the link. This will bring up the details on the package in the center frame. Read the details to find out about the package, other packages you may also need to install (dependencies), and the location of the source and the web site where more information from the developers can be found.

Click on the package link which has the name similar to

gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.gz

and the file will start to down from our Amazon S3 file server. Once the file finishes downloading, go to the directory your browser downloads files to and run gunzip on the package, as in

gunzip gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.gz

Now run pkgadd on the gunzipped file - as root - like this

pkgadd -d gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local

Pkgadd will install files in /usr/local subdirectories like bin, sbin, lib, include, doc, etc. If you don't have gunzip, gzip packages are available in our files.

You may need to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH environment variable and /usr/local/lib to your library path and /usr/local/man to your MANPATH, etc.

Make sure you have installed all the dependencies.

Ftp, wget, and rsync downloads have been diabled due abuse by users and other limitations.

If you have any problems, send your questions to our support address.
