This section describes new installer features and known installation issues for this Sun Studio 10 release.
The batch_installer command and the uninstaller command allow you to install and uninstall the software product with minimal user interaction. See the Sun Studio 10 Installation and Setup Guide for Solaris Platforms, available from the product web site, for detailed information about batch installation and batch uninstallation.
If you have Forte Developer 6 software, Sun ONE Studio 7 software, Sun ONE Studio 8 software, Sun Studio 8 software, or Sun Studio 9 software installed, be sure to follow the installation instructions and install the Sun Studio 10 software in a different directory. If you have software from any of the above releases installed in the same directory as Sun Studio 10 software, the uninstaller can mistakenly uninstall the wrong packages if you uninstall packages from any release.
If you have Sun Studio 10 Early Access software or Sun Studio 10 Customer Acceptance software installed, be sure to uninstall this software before installing the Sun Studio 10 software.
Interrupting the installation of the Solaris OS patches causes a null pointer exception. Do not click the STOP button while the Web Start graphical user interface installation tool is adding Solaris OS patches.
If you are running the installation tool on Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition v1.2.2 (J2SE) in the Solaris 9 OS, the Dismiss button might not be visible in the Detail Information dialog box.Workaround:
Resize the dialog box to make the Dismiss button visible.
If you want to install the Sun Performance Library or Third-Party Source software, you must install these components in the same directory as the Sun Studio 10 component.
When the Locale panel of the installer is displayed, leave the en locale selected and click Next to display the next panel.
If you install the Sun Studio 10 software with the -R option of the batch installer using a remote display with an NFS-mounted filesystem by doing the following, then after installation the pkginfo file does not contain correct information:
- Share the product image on a computer running the Solaris 10 Operating system as an NFS filesystem.
- Mount the NFS filesystem on a computer running the Solaris 8 Operating System or the Solaris 9 Operating System.
- Run the batch installer on the computer running the Solaris 8 OS or Solaris 9 OS, using the -R option to install the software on the computer running the Solaris 10 OS.
Workaround:
Install the Sun Studio 10 software using a remote display with an NFS-mounted filesystem only when both the display computer and the source computer are running the same version of the Solaris OS.
The root (superuser) account that is used to install the Sun Studio software must have a Java 2 runtime environment (JRE) in its PATH. You can check whether you have a JRE in your PATH by typing:which javaThe JRE software is available for download at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html.
When using the batch installer to install the Sun Studio software, each of the product tar files must be unpacked into a separate directory.
Before using the Sun Studio 10 Integrated Development Environment (IDE), read the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) readme, which is available through the documentation index page at /installation_directory/docs/index.html. The default installation directory is /opt/SUNWspro.
This document contains important information about setup tasks you might need to perform to ensure that the IDE operates correctly. These tasks include:
- Mounting installation directories for server-based components of the product
- Ensuring that the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition v1.4.2_06 (J2SE) technology is installed on your local system or available to you on the network
- Adding installation directories to your
$PATH
To start the IDE:
- Ensure that /installation_directory/bin is in your $PATH and is in front of the path to any other release of Forte Developer software, Sun ONE Studio software, or Sun Studio software.
- Type:
sunstudio &For information on the sunstudio command and its arguments, see the sunstudio(1) man page. To display the sunstudio(1) man page, you must have /installation_directory/man in your $MANPATH.
Before starting a debugging session on a Java program, turn on Java Language Support by choosing Tools -> Java Language Support. Leave Java Language Support on until you end the debugging session.
Turning Java Language Support on or off during a debugging session can result in the following problems:
- Data or information is not displayed in any of the debugger views
- Multiple sets of tabs are displayed in the Output window
There are several known problems with the external editors GVIM and XEmacs in the Sun Studio 10 IDE:
- When GVIM is started from the Sun Studio IDE in the C locale, GVIM corrupts files that contain multibyte characters. Multibyte characters in a file are replaced with question marks.
- When XEmacs is started from the Sun Studio IDE in the C locale, XEmacs corrupts files that contain multibyte characters. Multibyte characters in a file are replaced with question marks.
- When GVIM is started from the Sun Studio IDE in the Chinese (zh) locale, GVIM crashes when you choose Edit -> Find or Edit -> Find and Replace.
- When GVIM is started from the Sun Studio IDE in the Japanese (ja) locale, and you set a breakpoint, GVIM does not highlight the correct line in the source file.
- When you run GVIM in the Japanese (ja) locale or the Chinese (zh) locale, you cannot save multibyte contents because GVIM overwrites other strings with the multibyte characters.
The following features might not be supported in a future release of the Sun Studio software.
The adb command in the dbx command-line debugger, which executes an adb-style command or sets adb mode, may be removed in a future release of the Sun Studio software.
This section gives information about the documentation for this Sun Studio 10 release. Information in these release notes supersedes information in any of the other documentation.
