That is right, static 64-bit apps were never possible. The .a system libs are simply missing. Starting with Solaris 10 this is also true for 32-bit apps. See http://www.google.de/search?q=solaris+10+static+linking (first two links) for the rationale behind it. Another thing to note: installboot for current Solaris 10 is Sparc only, x86 systems use grub/installgrub. > Ryan Novosielski wrote: >> Since Mr. Hartzell does not appear to be answering his e-mail, and my >> feeling is that he would not mind helping others on this, I'll post his >> recipe to the list. >> >> Hopefully this gets the ball rolling for some people. >> >> A Think Tank wrote: >>> Anyone come up with anything on this one? >>> I'm about to go live with a home brewed wing and a prayer backup plan >>> for bare metal restores. >> >>> Paul >>> Ryan Novosielski wrote: >>> I have located this.
