Studio under Solaris

I already talked about NetBeans under Solaris which is great together with GCC, but even greater is the Solaris / Developer Studio and its native optimizing compiler and tools. By the time of this writing the current version is 12.5 (developerstudio-125 is the pkg5 name) which by now (finally!) virtually includes full (regression: locales don't work!) support to C++ 11 and already some selected features of C++ 14.

Appart from the lenghty download from the Oracle public release Internet repository, my installation notes on the links above present some more powerful considerations that the graphical Package Manager cannot offer, so check it out!

NOTE

The public release Internet address is https://pkg.oracle.com/solarisstudio/release but you'll only be able to access if you first register at http://pkg-register.oracle.com/ and later generate a PKCS12(1openssl) a.k.a. a PFX file to install on your browser.

NOTE

After launching Solaris / Developer Studio for the very first time, it may be convenient to adjust the default project folder much the same as its done for NetBeans. Instead of looking for the projectui.propeties file at ~/.netbeans, do so at ~/.solstudio or ~/.oracledevstudio.
