Azureus for Solaris x86 1 e
Now that I want to download OpenOffice for Solaris x86 to compare it with the StarOffice suite provided with Solaris 10, I see that the download is available as a torrent. The problem is that Solaris doesn’t come with any Bit torrent client. After a bit of searching, I see that Azureus is the way to go. Completely Java. Unfortunately, although the latest release is available for Solaris 10 Sparc, nothing yet on the Solaris 10 x86 front. After more searching, it seems that Azureus is using the eclipse libraries , which are not available yet for x86 in the official distribution. Although the Azureus-x86 wiki basically tells us that we just need to compile eclipse ourselves and then replace some libraries, this is not trivial and more that what I want to do. But of course, someone did it before…
Eclipse release for Solaris on x86 is a BugId open for Eclipse where people talk about what I need. Included in the webpage is a nice attachement that contains the needed libraries.
Soooo :
- Download Azureus for Sparc : Azureus_2.4.0.2_Solaris.tar.bz2
- #bunzip Azureus_2.4.0.2_Solaris.tar.bz
- #tar xf Azureus_2.4.0.2_Solaris.tar You should now have a directory named azureus. In it, you’ll find 5 swt libraries ( libswt* ). These are the SPARC ones that you’ll need to replace by their x86 equivalent.
- Download the eclipse SWT libraries for Solaris 10 x86
- In another directory, unzip the file eclipse_launcher_and_swt_jar_for_solaris_10×86.zip You’ll have a directory and a jar file.
- #unzip org.eclipse.swt.gtk.solaris.sparc_3.1.1.jar libswt-atk-gtk-3139.so libswt-awt-gtk-3139.so libswt-cde-gtk-3139.so libswt-gtk-3139.so libswt-pi-gtk-3139.so
will extract the 5 libraries from the jar file. Simply copy the 5 libraries to the azureus directory. - Run the azureus command in the azureus directory. It should work…
