updated: added links to SPARC builds!

Anyone who knows me knows that OpenSolaris is near and dear to my heart, so I was really psyched when Alfred Peng started porting Songbird over to OpenSolaris. For all the nitty gritty details, check out bug 7800 to see the code review, patches, and comments flying back and forth.

Shortly after we cut 0.5, Alfred put together binaries for Songbird 0.5 final and assembled them into a nice binary package as well as a tarball for us. We’re proud to say these are the first community-contributed builds of Songbird (and Alfred’s work and patches are being reviewed and committed into trunk for future builds). Alfred’s work should also help enable ports to other *nix systems such as BSD, so I’m looking forward to a BSD contributed build someday as well.

Until we get a proper contributed builds section up (should be coming soon with a revamped developer centre/wiki), I’m blogging these here.

Without further ado…

For the curious, the x86 tarball was built on Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) build 80 (snv_80) with Sun Studio 11, while the x86 binary package was built on snv_87 with Sun Studio 11. The SPARC builds (both tarball & pkg) were built on snv_76 with Sun Studio 11.
