****************************************************************************************

NOTE

The version of the GCC compiler should match the compiler version used for building the running Linux kernel.

****************************************************************************************
Any 32-bit or 64-bit development environment (depending on your target configuration) supporting C for user mode.
On your development PC: glibc2.3.x.
libstdc++.so.5 is required for running GUI WinDriver applications (e.g. DriverWizard [4] ; Debug Monitor [6.2]).

3.1.4 Solaris System Requirements

Solaris 8 / 9 / 10 / OpenSolaris.
****************************************************************************************

NOTE

For Solaris 8 it is recommended to use update 3 or higher (available from Sun: http://www.sun.com).

****************************************************************************************
64-bit or 32-bit kernel on SPARC platform
OR
32-bit kernel on x86 platform.
Any development environment supporting C (such as GCC).
WinDriver 5.22 is still provided for Solaris 2.6/7.0 32-bit kernel on Intel x86 platform.

****************************************************************************************

NOTE

If you have chosen a development environment other than GCC, make sure libgcc is installed on your computer. You can download it from the following URL: http://www.sunfreeware.com.
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the location of your libgcc, a probable location would be: LD_LIBRARY_PATH= /usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/sparcv9
