[OpenIndiana-discuss] Time to build VirtualBox OSE

[russell]

  Hi,

After reading in The Register ( 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/08/oracle_jacking_up_mysql_prices/ 
), the URL seems to get the message across. Is now a good time to 
consider incorporating the VirtualBox OSE within the OpenIndiana repository?

As an aside I am currently trying to build PostgreSQL v9.0.1 as a 64bit 
binary within a OpenIndiana instance running within VirtualBox.



$ CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc CFLAGS=-m64 CPPFLAGS=-m64 ./configure 
--prefix=/opt/sfw --enable-nls --enable-dtrace --with-perl --with-python 
--with-gssapi --with-pam --with-openssl --with-libxml --with-libxslt

$ make

everything appears to be okay until

It appears there are 32bit libraries in a 64 bit directory.
