You can build with Qt 3.3 or Qt 4. Recoll will
automatically be configured to build with Qt 4 if the version

<h3>Solaris</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>Note to Solaris users: you need to perform the initial
indexing pass with "recollindex", not the recoll GUI indexing
thread. See <a href="BUGS.html">errata</a>.
<p><b>Solaris 8 SPARC</b>:
<a href="sunos/recoll-1.13.04-SunOS-5.8.tgz">
recoll-1.14.2-SunOS-5.8.tgz</a>. </p>
<p>Recoll also builds and runs on Solaris 10, but, given the
situation (2008) of open source packages for Solaris (very old
Qt on the Companion CD, inconsistent versions of the compiler and
non-threaded version of Qt on sunfreeware), I've come to the
temporary conclusion that you are better off building than
trying to install packages. The approach I tried in 2008 and
which worked was to:
<ul>
<li>Install gcc 3.4.6 and gnu make from the sunfreeware
packages (go to /usr/local). I guess that the gcc in
/usr/sfw should be ok too here.</li>
<li>Compile xapian-core and install it (with prefix /usr/local).</li>
<li>Configure and install Qt. The following config worked for me,
with Qt 3.3.8:
<pre><tt>
./configure -platform solaris-g++ -prefix /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-3.3.8/ -thread
</tt></pre>
Then make. Weirdly, I had to add the Qt build lib/
directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at some point during the
build).
</li>
<li>Set QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-3.3.8 and
QMAKESPEC=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-3.3.8/mkspecs/solaris-g++
and add $QTDIR/bin to the PATH then configure, make and
install Recoll</li>
<li>Don't forget to use <tt>recollindex</tt> for the first index
build, <tt>recoll</tt> does not work for this (exception handling
mystery probably).</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Obviously, there are other ways to do it (use CC, install
some place else ... ), but I tried this one.</p>
<p>I did not test building on Solaris for this version. You will
need at least Qt 4.4. The old hints
in <a href="download-1.14.html">the previous page</a> may
still be valid.</p>
