How to make my app run on solaris?

Is there anything I should do different to make my application run on Solaris or can I just use the version that runs on Windows XP.

PS: I have never worked with Solaris but I will so so I just want to be prepared.

i never worked with solaris but it's unix based so i think you have to use gcc and need some working Makefiles, but i don't know if the linux makefiles work on solaris...

Sure they do

Simply set GXX to g++, CC to gcc, and use gmake instead of make (the latter would be the original Solaris Make). All three tools have to be in your path, and in case the gcc is not installed system-wide you also have to adapt your LD_LIBRARY_PATH such that stdc++.so is found.
The Solaris port is currently not working due to the inline assembler things I fixed recently. But it will in the next days.

My lecturer had a problem with the computer on the first lesson so I didn't had my first time with Solaris 10 yet so I don't know how to use it. On my next lesson I'll have my first try with solaris so I'll see if I can do what you said and report if it works.

It should compile again now. Did not run it the last month, though, so I don't know how it looks like

Sorry but what are you talking about?

The Solaris port of Irrlicht. What else is this thread about? I simply said that I only check if Irrlicht compiles. I don't run it on Solaris. So it might be the case that you see ugly artifacts in your graphic.
