   SolarisExpress with the nVidia drivers (ya, Solaris drivers from
nvidia :) would
   be an option for you on any of those linux PCs :)

   Yup, use __sun instead of __sun__.  I was being rather hacky.

   Got the newer rev, 202, had to change _very_ little this time which is nice.
   Though somehow managed to wipe the code base.. was trying a diff per file and
    overwrote every src file..  Argh...

qgl.h:
#if defined(MACOS_X) || defined(__sun)

to

#if defined(MACOS_X) || ( defined(__sun) && defined(__sparc) )

  OpenGL on Solaris x86 will be either Mesa based or nVidia based.
  Solaris will use the Xorg server on x86.

gcc-solaris.c (i.e. linux.c plus little changes. s/__linux/__sun/)

snapvectora.s:
C(Sys_SnapVector_cw):
to
C(Sys_SnapVectorCW):

  Theres one or two other little changes, which I'll send on once I
get things going again.
  Nothing major.

  I had no problems getting lcc compiled, just the linux.c copy to
gcc-solaris.c.  The
  q3lcc then compiled up the various .qvm files no problem.  I should
be able to try
  compiling on sparc this week.

  Running:
SunOSquake3 + set r_allowSoftwareGL 1

  I now get a window (plain black).  And then its stuck in a loop in
Sys_ConsoleInput()
  reading 1 char from stdin all the time.

  I've nothing so fancy P-) an U80 is about it.  But may be able to
test on sb* though.
