Hello.

This post is to inform you that OpenIndiana Hipster will cease supporting Sun Studio-compiled software. Note, this move doesn't affect OpenIndiana /dev.

We currently support following C++ libraries compiled with Studio:
 database/postgres/library/c++/libpqxx
 developer/icu
 library/c++/glibmm
 library/c++/libxml++
 library/c++/net6
 library/c++/obby
 library/c++/sigcpp
 library/c++/stdcxx
 library/desktop/c++/cairomm
 library/desktop/c++/gtkmm
 library/desktop/c++/pangomm
 library/icu

and following libraries compiled with GNU G++:
 database/postgres/library/g++/libpqxx
 desktop/compiz/library/g++/libcompizconfig
 developer/g++/icu
 library/desktop/g++/cairomm
 library/desktop/g++/gtkmm
 library/g++/glibmm
 library/g++/hdf5
 library/g++/icu
 library/g++/sigcpp
 desktop/g++/pangomm
 desktop/g++/webkitgtk
 library/g++/zeromq
 library/g++/boost

The general direction is the following:
- We rebuild all software depending on Studio-compiled libraries using GCC-compiled ones - All Studio libraries were published in their current form to http://dlc.openindiana.org/c++-libs/, so you can grub necessary libraries and LD_PRELOAD them or use in alternative path if necessary (note, not all dlc.oi.org mirrors can be already up-to-date)
- All X/g++/Y packages are renamed to X/Y and moved from /usr/g++ to /usr
- All Studio-compiled C++ libraries, which are not directly used by OI Hipster will eventually be marked obsolete and removed on update - We continue delivering system/library/c++/sunpro for the foreseeable future
