I installed the complete distribution (you’ll need the OEM support on x86, too), and selected any relevant software from the companion CD. Rather than the latter, you may be better off pulling down the packages from SunFreeWare.com. They are often a bit more current. I actually had to pull out a couple Companion CD packages, and replace them with SunFreeWare.com installs.

If Qt doesn’t compile with thread support (do this one first), check the caveat for GCC on the sunfreeware site (I think it was regarding mkheaders). I haven’t found a precompiled QT for Solaris with thread support. The rest of the dependencies should be fine, either with a standard ./configure; make, or from the sunfreeware packages. After that, the latest Scribus CVS should be pulled down and it should compile. Note that I haven’t hunted down the developer package for Python for Solaris, so the script plugin doesn’t get pulled in.

That should cover it. If you have any questions, I can try to help. My responses will be about this time of night, as I’ll be out the next two evenings.—Rainer
