EPICS R3.12 Notes for Solaris 2.3
	- By Andrew Johnson
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

1. In order to build and use EPICS under Solaris 2, you must include
various directories in your path in the order given below, in addition
to those named in base/README. Some of these directories may already be
included in your path from your .login script or .cshrc file, so be
careful that the ordering is correct.

	setenv PATH /usr/ucb:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH

2. It is not possible to compile the whole of EPICS under Solaris 2
using only the GNU gcc compiler - some routines which are needed (for
example quiet_nan()) have been unbundled by Sun and are provided with
their ANSI C compiler.  The path to the Sun compiler is explicitly set
using the SPARCWORKS definition in the file CONFIG_SITE.Unix.solaris

3. EPICS must be compiled and linked using the UCB compatability
libraries.  The definitions UCB_LIB and UCB_INCLUDE are used here to
refer to these libraries and their header files, and the tools provided
within /usr/ucb must be used in preference to the System V ones, hence
the above path ordering.
