Hey Dale,
It's nice to hear from another person interested in Aperi! Here are
some initial notes / thoughts related to what it'd take to get
everything up and running on Solaris:
When we (IBM) made our initial contribution to Eclipse, we only
made sure to include all of the platform-specific code required to
make everything work on Windows and Linux (for both, the 32-bit x86
flavors). Platform-specific code for Solaris does exist. It would
just need to be made available.
Is there a Legal vetting process that code must go through prior to
be committed to the repository? I'd like to take a look at that first
before trying to re-implement something that may already exist. I
already see bits of Solaris code and references sprinkled
throughout... so hopefully there's a a chance that could happen?
I realized after starting tonight that whether any existing Solaris
code is made available or not, the prospect of porting hinges on the
availability of this cclog tool. I think I would have EventScanner
working tonight if that were available.
BTW, here's a patch for you all. I noticed that in the Linux
EventScanner code, you're calling close() instead of fclose() on a
FILE-type stream, not a file descriptor. It's just something I
happened to catch as I was going through the code.
