I wrote some open source Linux/BSD software with a command line interface and would like to know if I can easily make it run on Solaris too. What would be the easiest way to install an amd64 virtual machine with one of the free Solaris derivatives? (I know almost nothing about Solaris.)



It should have (out of the box or easily installable):




  • internet connectivity

  • ssh client and server

  • bash or zsh

  • git

  • tar

  • make

  • some text editor nicer than vi (vim or an emacs clone is fine)

  • whatever C compiler and linker is popular among Solaris programmers (do lots of people just use GCC nowadays?)

  • C headers for libc, kernel syscall interface, and whatever else is normally needed

  • an easy package manager would be nice, but if it ships with the above things that's fine too

    Solaris 11 is available for free and you are allowed to use it for "developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your applications" according to its license. Oracle even provides a "VirtualBox Template" of Solaris 11.
