Re: [Openexr-devel] Compiling ilmbase+openexr on solaris x86 64bit

[Bob Friesenhahn]

For building 64-bit on Solaris, I use small shell script wrappers to 
help ensure that correct options are passed.  For example, this is the 
text of a script called c++-64:

#!/bin/sh
exec c++ -m64 -march=opteron "$@"

I then specify CXX=c++-64 to the configure script.

In order to make building configure-based packages fairly easy, I use 
a separate install tree for 64-bit apps (e.g. /usr/local64) and then 
add a share/config.site script under that tree similar to the one 
attached.  The configure script automatically sources the config.site 
file, which supplies default options.  The advantage of this approach 
is that selection of a 64-bit build may be specified by the --prefix 
option to the configure script and then the configure script 
automatically uses the right options and everything just works.  So 
one install prefix is used for 32-bit apps and another is used for 
64-bit apps.

Last I heard, Solaris was being dropped from OpenEXR's "supported" 
list.  Hopefully someone will have the sense to add it back.
