how about eclipse/SWT for solaris/x86 ?
Comment 1 Mike Wilson CLA 2001-11-26 09:51:42 EST
Are you interested in working on this? Since there are x86 versions which work 
and Solaris versions which work, it shouldn't take more than re-making the 
launcher and .s0 files and making sure they end up in the right places. 
Solaris (on sparc) is provided in current drops, I believe, so you can look at 
that to see what's where.

Caution: Tis currently no way to distinguish the x86 solaris version from the 
sparc solaris version. That is, the swt .so will have the same name on both 
architectures (yes, this is a known problem). This shouldn't cause you any 
grief unless you are trying to run them from the same install directory.

I with pleasure shall help.

We don't have the resources to work on this right now. As indicated 
previously, this should actually require very little effort, since the sparc/
Solaris version is work well, and the Motif code is quite portable (it runs 
on Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and several linux implementations).

Moving from Later.

Has there been any movement on this recently?  I got 3.1 compiled and running on
Solaris (9) x86 but didn't know if there was someone else working on this.
Comment 7 Steve Northover CLA 2004-11-15 18:26:34 EST
We haven't been looking into it.
