<p class="MsoNormal">I think I am using GAR, but I need to double check that I built with gar for all of the packages. Initially, I spent a lot of time trying to build with Solaris Studio 12.4, but I found that most code assumes GNU compilers and tools these
days, so I gave up on that. Thus, I am building with the gcc-5.5, g++5.5, gfortran-5.5 compilers and toolchain from OpenCSW, using mcpu=ultrasparc or ultrasparc3.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most of the builds weren’t too difficult, although I did have to modify source code slightly in a few places. SDL2 has been the most complicated to date.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on a few other things, such as other SDL2 components and other python packages like matplotlib, pygame, etc. I found that, for a RISC processor like the SPARC, configuring the compiler to target the proper CPU makes a huge difference.
Thus, I’d like to target at least -mcpu=ultrasparc, preferably -mcpu=ultrasparc3.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If it’s a relatively straightforward process to package this up as a package and add it to OpenCSW, I could try to do that. Let me know if there is interest. I’m a big Python fan, so I’m working toward having a complete enough set of python
tools to accomplish all the things I’m interested in.<o:p></o:p></p>
