Hi, Does anyone still maintain support for Mono on Solaris, specifically for SPARC? There are no Solaris packages on the download page for 3.x and the Solaris SPARC package for 2.10.5 is missing the .NET 4.0 class libraries.
I've built Mono 2.x releases for Solaris/x86. It's a major maintenance nightmare, since Solaris has its own ideas about posix threads and especially thread cancel handlers. If you do heavy threaded load, you will likely run into deadlock within the garbage collection. At least stock Boehm GC is affected by this problem. SGen does not work under Solaris, too, with the binaries aborting and generating core dumps. I didn't had the time to investigate this further. And since Solaris is a dying operating system on our site, I'll probably not dig into this further. If you want to try it, you'll definitely need a recent checkout of the Boehm GC. And you should disable the dtrace support code, since it does not compile. Burkhard
