Running Ruby on Solaris

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Uses a Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise running Oracle Solaris 10 and documents concrete fixes needed to run CRuby: configure requires autoconf/bison, choose Solaris Studio or GCC, set -m64 and LD_FLAGS for 64-bit libs and headers, and pass --build=sparc64 when compiling to avoid mixed installs. Describes endian and alignment bugs exposed on SPARC, how they were patched, and reports about 97 bug reports filed while making Ruby run reliably on Solaris.
