Anyone running Zimbra on Solaris 10?

Am contemplating doing this...

Hi

Welcome to the forums.

I'm not sure if anyone has managed to get a working version of Zimbra on Solaris yet. There have been some posts in the forums about it, do a search for 'solaris' and perhaps you could directly contact the people who've tried. If you do manage to get it working it would be a help to the community to have a 'how to' posted.

My bad, I did a site search but not a forum search. The latter does turn up some interesting threads. Looks like I'll attempt this (on X2100 fwiw) and see how I go.

Good luck, keep us posted about how you get on and any problems you encounter.

I have spent quite a bit of time trying to get things compiled on solaris 10 sparc. You can see the current version of my sloppy notes at http://ringnebula.net/zcs-solaris-build.rtf

I haven't yet been successful but things look better everytime I have a go at it.

Starting from revision 77 of the Svn repo (there are no tags), I've got all of 3rd party built and/or installed, except for the packages with unclear or missing installation steps (amavisd, snmp, jakarta-tomcat*). I've got a 300-line cheat sheet covering 3rd party alone (plus several suggestions for cleaning up the build process for 3rd party).

However I'm stumped at the next bit, running make in ZimbraBuild. This is what I see, any ideas?

-bash-3.00$ make

Yes, I'll put it here, but I first want to test on a 2nd installation to make sure it's correct. Just to reiterate, it only covers (most of) 3rd party, I have not been able to get far with Zimbra build yet, so the recipe hasn't been tested all the way through to a working installation. Of course there will be additional differences for Sol8/SPARC from Sol10/x86 (sigh) - I don't have a Sol8/SPARC box here to test on, unfortunately.

A further disclaimer, I'm working from random HEAD revision from Svn, so the instructions may or may not work with any particular version of the source.

I am still working with an older version of the codebase. In my case I have gotten 3rd party to compile with relatively minimal effort. As for the build failure you get I'm not sure as the ant stuff is pretty foreign to me.

You may have to strip the "==== ORIGINAL VERSION"
from trunk/ZimbraBuild/RE/BUILD
