[Qt-creator] Unable to build on Solaris

[Victor Sardina]

Sean:

I have built Qt from source code twice in the past (last time the
Qt-4.5.1 branch, if I remember well). This on a Solaris 9 machine, and
it took about 16 whole hours to compile the whole thing. It felt as
though it would take forever...

I also compiled QtCreator, but with the specs of that machine I
compiled it on it turned into a hassle to do any development via
QtCreator due to the speed of the machine, already loaded with other
processes.

I would probably have to go through the same compilation hassle again in
order to bring the Qt running on that server up to the 4.7 release. I
compiled everything with gcc, not the SUN supplied C++ compiler. You
also need to make sure that you have the libstdc++ available in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent. Installing gcc and putting it in your
PATH should considerably ease the process.

You can find what you need to install gcc et al. at the
http://www.sunfreeware.com website.
