but in Solaris 10 there are problems with X11 libraries.
For example: XAllocColorCells is not working.
A very basic Xlib function is not working ?? Really ??
This ?
Status XAllocColorCells(display, colormap, contig,
plane_masks_return, nplanes,
pixels_return, npixels)
Display *display;
Colormap colormap;
Bool contig;
unsigned long plane_masks_return[];
unsigned int nplanes;
unsigned long pixels_return[];
unsigned int npixels;
As for floating point numbers.
Floating point numbers exist in binary with a trivial format of a sign
bit and then some bits for an exponent and then lastly a string of bits
to represent the significand. The significand ( or mantissa ) data also
has an implied leading bit of "1" for normal numbers. How you choose to
print them out is entirely your business.
The Oracle Solaris 12.6 Developer tools are a free download and I do
suggest you look at them. I am fairly sure that support for Solaris in
gcc has been dropped as of last year. At least for Solaris 10. Sadly I
have never seen Solaris 11 in the wild. Maybe that works and maybe it
does not. Have you considered simply moving over to FreeBSD or even dare
I say it Linux? I have heard in various places that this "Linux" thing
works quite well and I have even seen it running neatly. Could be worth
a look. :) Just don't go lookng too closely for POSIX compliance or even
cross platform clean compiles.
