Hi :)


Yes, I understand that the OI team is small.

Sure no problem, feel free to post if you encounter any issue :)

Great!

We provide a metapackage named "build-essential" which should cover most
development requirements.

You can inspect the list of component provided by this metapackage at

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/meta-packages/build-essential/build-essential.p5m



Another hint is to look at package dependencies directly, liste in
REQUIRED_PACKAGES:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/encumbered/vlc/Makefile

When components are built from oi-userland, calling "gmake env-prep" within
a component directory will install the listed dependencies.



In any case if you deal with multimedia packages you need to add the
hipster-encumbered publisher:

# pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-encumbered/
hipster-encumbered

You need the correct credentials to do so.

Instead of running as root, I prefer to add the "Software Installation"
profile to my user:

usermod -P "Software Installation" username

After this, you can perform action with pkg ad beadm just with pfexec (like
you would do with sudo).

Kind regards

Aurelien
