[oi-dev] How to get build-essential for older OS release.

[RCrispo at atto.com]

There are kernel api changes between 2024 and older pre 2024 kernel.  So I 
can't compile on 2024 for older kernel.
I want to set up a new dev environment to support the older kernel.  From 
what Andreas Wacknitz said, that's not possible.

Just doing  "pkg install build-essential", I get the incorporation error:

pkg install: No matching version of metapackages/build-essential can be 
installed:
Reject:  pkg://openindiana.org/metapackages/build-essential@15-2024.0.0.0
Reason:  This version is excluded by installed incorporation 
consolidation/userland/userland-incorporation at 0.5.11-2022.0.0.17367

The pkg update allows build-essential to install but it also upgrades the 
kernel to 2024. I need to support an older kernel.




If you  need to support older kernel, I assume you mean that you are 
building driver for older kernel ? that does not mean you need to build it 
on older system, its just your sources what need to be compatible with 
your old kernel. Of course, there may be other traps around;)

anyhow, I?d suggest to avoid dependency of very old software because the 
issues you are currently seeing but also because of bugs and security.

How do I get the build tools for 2022.10 for driver development.

pkg install build-essential should do. if not, run pkg update; reboot 
first.
