If you can get the old Solaris version of GNOME installed and running (if you haven’t already) you may have better luck satisfying all the other dependencies.

That’s what I found worked best when “in the field” with a Tadpole RDI Ultrabook, back in the day. :-)

This is for 64 bit Sparc Solaris 10. I'll be the first to admit I know very
little about compiling source code in Unix and the README doesn't
specifically mention this platform. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Well I'm currently running the Java Desktop Environment, which is just Gnome
plus Nautilus. Or do you specifically mean some older version from an
earlier Solaris?

I'm still looking at that page on "Building OpenSCAD yourself". I've gotten
as far as getting git installed, which is something I suppose.

Well continuing my perhaps quixotic quest to get Openscad on Sparc Solaris
10, I have managed to make some progress. I now have gcc running and
installed Solaris Studio 12.4 so I also have the Sun C compiler. I got git
and a collection of OpenCSW tools including gmake.

Then I was able to download all the needed files using git. I also got
scripts/check-dependencies to work (although it kept spitting out "grep:
illegal option -- q" - what's that all about?),

So now I'm going down the list of dependencies. The first one is Qt. The
"Building Openscad yourslef" page says you need Qt4. The script just says
Qt. Qt is now apparently up to 5.2.

So, can I just install 5.2 or do I really have to find version 4 somewhere?

And FWIW, scripts/uni-get-dependencies.sh simply said "Unknown system type".
Perhaps an entry for 64 bit Sparc could be added there?

I guess Solaris’ grep doesn’t have the -q option. We tend to require GNU grep or a recent BSD grep.
You can edit the script and remove the -q, or install GNU grep.

So, can I just install 5.2 or do I really have to find version 4 somewhere?

This is a more updated list of dependencies. Qt 5 is recommended if it’s supported on your platform. I build binaries using Qt-5.4.

Adding such support might be an outcome of what you’re doing. It’s a bit hard to maintain though, as we’d need access to a Solaris box to test.

Sun's version of grep isn't the same as gnu grep, so there are different
switches.
For GNU Grep, -q means "quiet".

You can install GNU grep if you want, just need to edit the script so that
it uses it (as I don't think there's an env variable that it respects)

"Sun's version of grep isn't the same as gnu grep, so there are different

That was it. Gnu grep was one of the utilities in my OpenCSW download so I
just added /opt/csw/gnu to the front of my PATH, ran it again and got this:

-bash-3.2$ ./scripts/check-dependencies.sh
depname minimum found OKness
qt 4.4 unknown NotOK
./scripts/check-dependencies.sh: line 215: -query: command not found
./scripts/check-dependencies.sh: line 215: -query: command not found
qscintilla2 2.7 unknown NotOK
cgal 3.6 unknown NotOK
gmp 5.0 unknown NotOK
mpfr 3.0 unknown NotOK
boost 1.35 unknown NotOK
opencsg 1.3.2 unknown NotOK
glew 1.5.4 unknown NotOK
eigen 3.0 unknown NotOK
glib2 2.0 2.4.1 OK
fontconfig 2.10 2.5. NotOK
freetype2 2.4 14.1.8 OK
harfbuzz 0.9.19 unknown NotOK
gcc 4.2 3.4.4 NotOK
bison 2.4 unknown NotOK
flex 2.5.35 unknown NotOK
make 3 unknown NotOK
-bash-3.2$

I guess it's progress that I actually have two OK's. OTOH, sometimes I feel
like the guy who's trying to get to the moon by climbing a tree and reports
some progress because he's reached the second branch.

18 dependencies! That's quite a list. And I've got two of them. Well,
I've got Qt5 downloading right now (from here:
http://stacloverflow.com/questions/20879/how-to-build-qt-5-2-on-solaris-10).
This thing (whatever it is) is huge. We'll see what happens. Thanks.

OK, so I downloaded Qt5. But when I ran make I got "make: Warning: Can't
find 'gar/category.mk': no such file or directory" So what the heck is
that? When I search for "gar download" I get results like the UN Global
Assessment Report" on something or another, a band called Gar, and the
General Aviation Report. Somehow, I don't think any of these are what I
need. And no doubt gar, if I ever find it has its own list of dependencies,
none of which I will have. Does anyone know what "gar" is and where I can
find it?
