My current project involves writing perl code inside a Solaris VMWare appliance (hosted on a Mac).
In order to use the CPAN, I need to install a version of "make" inside the VM.
What is the most frugal apprach (disk space and download capacity are limited) to do this?
EDIT: turns out I have a Solaris 10, after all.
Timo Geusch's answer still stands. I'll report if and how I got it to work, after the fact. Thx Timo
EDIT: Here's how I downloaded and installed make:
- downloaded make-3.81-sol10-x86-local.gz and libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-x86-local.gz from sunfreeware.com.
- used secure copy to transfer them from OSX to the Solaris VM.
- logged into the vm as root, cd to /tmp
- gunzip both files
- pkgadd -d both extracted files, answered the prompts ..
- DONE
Thx again Timo.
