Installing on Solaris

 

 

Download the archive which matches your Solaris version. Expand it anywhere using:

bunzip2 ecmerge.XXX.solaris.x86.pkg.bz2

We use the pkg tools to install Ellié Computing Merge. Ellié Computing Merge depends on gtk+2 (SUNWGtku/SUNWGtkr or CSWgtk2), CSWiconv and CSWgcc4g++rt to be present.
CSW packages refer to Community SoftWare from http://www.blastwave.org. If you do not know how it works, see the Packages page of blastwave.org.

Ellié Computing Merge uses xsltproc by default to generate HTML reports and comparison statistics. Nevertheless, you can use any other XSLT processor.

Using the following commands will install the dependencies, you can verify with pkginfo if the package are already there:
pkg-get -i libiconv
pkg-get -i gcc4g++rt
[for GTK2: pkg-get -i gtk2]
 

• If you have administrator rights, use the following command:
  pkgadd -d ecmerge.XXX.solaris.x86.pkg
  You can then run ECMerge with "ecmerge" from the command line or /opt/elliecomputing/ecmerge/guimerge
  
• If you do not have administrator rights, install the software for your own use this way:
  mkdir mytmp
  pkgtrans ecmerge.XXX.solaris.x86.pkg mytmp
  mv mytmp/ELLIECOMPmerge/root/opt/elliecomputing/ecmerge ecmerge
  rm -rf mytmp
  chmod +x ecmerge/user-install.sh
  cd ecmerge && ./user-install.sh
  You can then run ECMerge as ~/ecmerge/guimerge

The evaluation of Ellié Computing Merge requires a Serial Number to run permanently. You can evaluate it for free without a serial number. More infos.
