<title>The VT-switching sub-system in Solaris</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The original virtual terminal sub-system is a undocumented, and
|
|
unsupported feature of Solaris x86 releases 2.1 through 7. It was removed
|
|
in Solaris 8 and later releases, and was never present on Solaris SPARC.
|
|
Support for this version of virtual terminals is only present in Xorg 1.6.x
|
|
and earlier releases of Xorg, and has been removed in Xorg 1.7 and later.
|
|
If you use this form of virtual terminals, you do so at
|
|
<emphasis remap="bf">YOUR OWN RISK</emphasis>.

<para>
|
|
A new virtual terminal sub-system has been introduced in Solaris 11,
|
|
and is also available in systems based on the OpenSolaris or illumos sources.
|
|
This version is supported on both SPARC and x86 platforms, though SPARC
|
|
support is limited to devices with "Coherent Console" support in the kernel
|
|
frame buffer driver. Support for it is found only in Xorg 1.7 and later
|
|
server releases.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
When available, the virtual terminals of Solaris work basically the same way as
|
|
most other VT sub-systems.

Both GCC, and the Sun Studio compilers are supported by X11R&relvers;.
|
|
The minimum recommended GCC release is 3.4.
|
|
Some earlier GCC's are known to not work and should be avoided.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You should also make certain your version of GCC predefines `sun'.
|
|
If needed edit <filename>/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/*/*/specs</filename>, and modify the
|
|
<literal remap="tt">*predefines:</literal> line.

To build X11R&relvers; with GCC you need gcc and (optionally) c++filt from GNU
|
|
binutils.
|
|
Don't install gas or ld from GNU binutils, use the one provided by Sun.

|
If you are using Sun compilers to compile the X11R&relvers; distribution, you need to
|
|
modify your PATH appropriately so the Sun compiler tools are available.
|
|
Normally, they should be in
|
|
<filename class="directory">/opt/SUNWspro/bin</filename>

You <emphasis remap="bf">MUST</emphasis> put
|
|
<filename class="directory">/usr/ccs/bin</filename>
|
|
at the front of your PATH. There are known problems with some GNU
|
|
replacements for the utilities found there,
|
|
so the <filename class="directory">/usr/ccs/bin</filename> versions of
|
|
these programs must be found before any possible GNU versions.
|
|
(Most notably GNU '<command>ar</command>' does not work during the build).
