[oi-dev] How to use the OI SPARC repository

[Gary Mills]

Once you have installed and booted the OI SPARC disk, you will see that:

    $ pkg publisher
    PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION
    oi-userland                 origin   online F file:///data/userland/repo/

Initially, there's nothing at that location.  You can change it, of
course, but if you want to leave it alone, start by creating a directory
or filesystem and directory at /data/userland .

The repository unpacks into another directory called repo .  You can
unpack it directly into /data/userland, like this:

    # gzcat .../OI_2018_repository.tar.gz | gtar xof -

If you run this command as root, the repository files will all be
owned by root:root .  You can always change the ownership with

    # chmod -R <user>:<group> repo

if you need to.  You can also unpack it someplace else and put a symlink
called repo in the /data/userland directory.

The repository contains all the installed package plus hundreds more.
Try some pkg commands just to make sure it's working correctly.  You
may need to do:

    # pkg refresh

before it responds.

Here are some packages to install to create a development system:

    developer/gcc-6
    developer/as
    developer/build/onbld
    system/header
    system/header/header-audio
    system/library/mozilla-nss/header-nss
    developer/build/autoconf
    developer/build/autoconf-archive
    developer/build/automake
    developer/build/cmake
    developer/build/help2man
    developer/build/libtool
    developer/build/pkg-config
    developer/lexer/flex
    developer/library/xprofile
    developer/parser/bison
    developer/versioning/git

You will need these to get lint:

    developer/sunstudio12u1/cc
    developer/sunstudio12u1/backend

You will also need an editor.  vi and ex are already installed.
To get emacs, install this package:

    editor/gnu-emacs/gnu-emacs-no-x11

Note that there's no java in this repository.  I was unable to build
it because it required graphic libraries and headers.  Most likely I
used an overly-restrictive definition of graphics on a text-only
system: I'll have another try at building it.

In the meantime, you can download these archives from java.net:

    jdk-7u79-solaris-sparc.tar.gz
    jdk-7u79-solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz


I recommend you install them in /opt/jdk1.7.0_79, and create these
symlinks to get java:

    /usr/java -> /opt/jdk1.7.0_79
    /usr/bin/java -> ../java/bin/java

In /usr/jdk create these directories:

    instances
    packages

and these symlinks:

    jdk1.7.0_79 -> instances/jdk1.7.0
    latest -> jdk1.7.0_79

Finally, in /usr/jdk/instances create this symlink:

    jdk1.7.0 -> /opt/jdk1.7.0_79

Please let me know how this all goes, and what packages might be
missing.
