Draft Solaris install notes.
Checked into "devo" temporarily; will probably need to move to another repository. Feel free to move it, but *please* move the entire underlying RCS file, not just the HEAD version (unless, of course, you move it while there's just this version checked in).

+@unnumbered System Requirements
+
+@table @strong
+@item OS Level
+Progressive Release ||RELNO|| for ||HOST||s requires Solaris 2.0 or
+later.
+
+@item A ||MEDIUM|| Drive
+You need access to a ||MEDIUM|| drive. The ||MEDIUM|| drive need not be
+on the computer where you want to run the software; but it is best if
+the machine with a ||MEDIUM|| drive and your computer can mount a common
+file system. At the very least, you need some sort of file transfer
+capability between the machine with a ||MEDIUM|| drive and your
+computer.
+
+@item Disk Space
+The total space required to extract and install
+binaries and source for all programs is
+||DF|| megabytes.
+
+The software is configured to go into @file{/opt/gnu}. If you have
+space available, but not in the same file system as @file{/opt}, you can
+use @samp{ln -s} to create @file{/opt/gnu} as a symbolic link to the
+file system where you do have the space available.
+
+If you don't have enough space, you may be able to install binaries only;
+see @ref{Limited Space,,Not Enough Space}. The space required for
+installing the binaries is ||BD|| megabytes.
+
+@item Root Access
+The standard Solaris installation procedures for optional packages
+require you to run the installation with root privileges. We deplore
+this requirement, but consider it valuable nevertheless to conform to
+the standard Solaris installation procedure.

+@iftex
+This note shows the different parts of examples like this:
+@table @asis
+@item Computer output is shown in @code{typewriter font.}
+@item Your input is indicated by @b{a sans-serif font.}
+@item Text to replace, rather than typing verbatim, is in @var{this font}.
+@item Comments appear in @i{italic font}.
+@end table
+@end iftex
+In examples, we show the system prompt as @samp{eg#}.
+
+The Cygnus Progressive--||RELNO|| ||MEDIUM|| is designed to work with
+the Solaris administration command @code{pkgadd}.
+
+Two checklists follow. The first checklist shows what to do if you have
+a ||MEDIUM|| drive on the computer where you want to install the
+Developer's Kit; the second shows how to use another networked machine
+to read the ||MEDIUM||, then finish the installation on your computer.
+
+Both checklists suggest installing the Developer's Kit binaries under
+@file{/opt/gnu} (which can be a symbolic link from somewhere else, if
+you like). We recommend you use this location for the software, because
+the precompiled, ready-to-run versions of the tools are configured this
+way. If you want to install elsewhere, see @ref{Paths,,Changing
+the Paths}.)
+
+Both checklists are very similar to @ref{Brief,,Installing in Brief},
+but provide more discussion of each step, and offer alternatives for
+systems whose available disk space is not in @code{/opt} and for
+installing only portions of the Developer's Kit.

+@code{GNUDEVTsrc} (for the source).
+
+@item
+Run @code{pkgadd} interactively (that is, @emph{without} the @w{@samp{-n}}
+option) to choose the installation directory.
+
+@item
+Use the @w{@samp{-d}} option to identify your ||MEDIUM||.

+
+@item
+For each of the packages, @code{pkgadd} will ask for confirmation of the
+install directory @file{/opt/gnu}, or an alternative.
+
+For the source package @code{GNUDEVTsrc}, place the package wherever
+it's convenient; the only advantage of using the default location
+@file{/opt/gnu} is to keep the source near the binaries.
+
+For the @code{GNUDEVTkit} binaries, we recommend using the default location
+@file{/opt/gnu}, since this location is configured and compiled into all
+the tools.
+

+@end example
+@end cartouche
+
+This example shows the interaction to place the source in
+@file{/usr/local/src} instead of the default location. After you type
+the location, the installation script asks you to confirm. You can use
+this opportunity to avoid typographical errors in the install directory
+name.

+@end example
+@end cartouche
+
+@item
+Installing the Developer's Kit binaries is a time-consuming step
+(between ?? minutes and ???, depending on the speed of your machine).
+@code{pkgadd} will display informative messages about its progress.
+After the initial extraction step, it prepares copies of your system
+header files, converted to comply better with @sc{ansi} C
+(@pxref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}). A log for
+this step goes in @file{/opt/gnu/progressive-||RELNO||/fixincludes.log}.
+@emph{Your system's original header files are not changed;}
+@code{pkgadd} writes the converted copies in a separate,
+@sc{gcc}-specific directory.

+But some Unix header files still rely on the old C meanings, in cases
+where the Unix vendor has not yet converted to using an @sc{ansi} C
+compiler for the operating system itself. The @samp{fixincludes}
+portion of installation is a mechanical translation that writes

+(such as upgrades to future Cygnus Progressive releases), we recommend
+that you establish a symbolic link @file{/opt/gnu/progressive} to this
+directory. For example, assuming you've used the default installation
+path:
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+eg# @b{cd /opt/gnu}

+or for some other platform---can use settings like one of the following
+in their initialization files.

+You should also ensure that your @code{man} command can pick up the
+manual pages for these tools. Some @code{man} programs recognize a
+@code{MANPATH} environment variable. If your @code{man} program is one
+of these, users at your site can also include in their initialization

+
+You can configure the software in this release by using the shell
+script called @code{configure}. The shell script requires one argument:
+the host type. There are also several possible options, including a
+@w{@samp{-target=}} option to configure for cross-system development.
+
+@node Config Names, configure Options, Configuration, Rebuilding
+@section Specifying Names for Hosts and Targets
+
+The specifications used for hosts and targets in the @code{configure}
+script are based on a three-part naming scheme, but some short predefined
+aliases are also supported. The full naming scheme encodes three pieces
+of information in the following pattern:
+
+@example
+@var{architecture}-@var{vendor}-@var{os}
+@end example
+
+@ifset FIXMES
+@quotation
+@emph{FIXME!} What is real alias for Solaris/SPARC?
+@end quotation
+@end ifset
+For example, you can use the alias @code{solar} as a @var{host} argument
+or in a @w{@samp{-target=@var{target}}} option, but the equivalent full name
+is @samp{sparc-sun-solaris2}.
+
+@quotation
+@emph{Warning:} @code{configure} can represent a very large number of
+combinations of architecture, vendor, and OS. There is by no means
+support for all possible combinations!
+@end quotation
+
+@node configure Options, Compilation, Config Names, Rebuilding
+@section @code{configure} Options
+
+This section summarizes the @code{configure} options and arguments.
+Your Developer's Kit contains full online documentation for the Cygnus
+configure system. @inforef{Using Configure,,configure.info}, to read
+about @code{configure} in more detail, including information on how the
+@code{configure} options relate to @file{Makefile} variables.
+
+@example
+configure @r{[}-prefix=@var{dest}@r{]}
+ @r{[}-exec-prefix=@var{bindest}@r{]}
+ @r{[}-srcdir=@var{path}@r{]}
+ @r{[}-norecursion@r{]}
+ @r{[}-target=@var{target}@r{]}
+ @var{host}
+@end example
+
+@ifset FIXMES
+@quotation
+@emph{FIXME!} Show complete configure option list used for release?
+@end quotation
+@end ifset
+@table @code
+@item -prefix=@var{dest}
+@var{dest} is an installation directory @emph{path prefix},
+the root for the directories where @code{make install} will
+place things. After you configure with this option, @code{make install}
+will install info files in @file{@var{dest}/info}, man pages in
+@file{@var{dest}/man}, and---unless you also use
+@w{@samp{-exec-prefix}}---compiled programs in @file{@var{dest}/bin},
+and libraries in @file{@var{dest}/lib}.
+If you specify @w{@samp{-prefix=/local}}, for example, @code{make
+install} puts the development tools in @file{/local/bin}.
+
+@emph{WARNING:} the default @var{dest} path prefix in the source is not
+the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus.
+
+@w{@samp{-prefix=/opt/gnu/progressive-||RELNO||}} was used to build this
+Cygnus Progressive Release. If you do not use @w{@samp{-prefix}}, the
+installation directory is @file{/usr/local}.
+
+@item -exec-prefix=@var{bindest}
+@w{@samp{-exec-prefix}} serves the same purpose as @w{@samp{-prefix}}, but
+affects only machine-dependent targets (compiled programs and
+libraries). Specifying both @w{@samp{-prefix}} and @w{@samp{-exec-prefix}}
+allows you to segregate machine-dependent files, so that
+machine-independent files can be shared.
+
+@emph{WARNING:} the default @var{bindest} path prefix in the source is not
+the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus.
+
+@w{@samp{-exec-prefix=/opt/gnu/progressive-||RELNO||}} was
+used to build this Cygnus Progressive Release.
+If you do not use @w{@samp{-exec-prefix}}, the default directory for
+machine-dependent targets is whatever was specified with @file{-prefix}
+(by default, @file{/usr/local}).
+
+@item -srcdir=@var{path}
+@emph{Warning: This option is only supported if you use @sc{gnu}
+@code{make}} (which is included in this Cygnus Progressive--||RELNO|| release).
+Use this option to make configurations in directories separate from the
+source directories. @code{configure} writes configuration specific files
+in the current directory, but arranges for them to use the source in the
+directory @var{path}. @code{configure} will create directories under
+the working directory in parallel to the source directories below
+@var{path}. Among other things, you can use this to build (or maintain)
+several configurations simultaneously, in separate directories.
+
+@item -norecursion
+Configure only the directory level where @code{configure} is executed; do not
+propagate configuration to subdirectories.
+
+@item -target=@var{target}
+Configure the development tools for cross-development (compiling,
+debugging, or other processing) of programs running on the specified
+@var{target}. Without this option, programs are configured ``native'',
+that is, for managing programs that run on the same machine (@var{host})
+as the development tools themselves.
+
+There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available targets.
+
+@item @var{host} @dots{}
+Configure the development tools to run on the specified @var{host}.
+
+There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available hosts.
+@end table
+
+The @w{@samp{-prefix=@var{dest}}} and @w{@samp{-exec-prefix=@var{bindest}}}
+options are particularly important. If you don't specify a @var{dest}
+or @var{bindest} directory, the @file{Makefile} installs binaries in
+subdirectories of @file{/usr/local}. These options are important
+because the @var{dest} and @var{bindest} directories are used for
+several purposes:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+@var{bindest} is the directory where binaries are installed.
+
+@item
+@var{bindest} is built into the compiler itself for the
+locations of @sc{gcc} specific include files, the locations of @sc{gcc}
+subprograms, and the location of the @sc{gcc} specific library
+@file{libgcc.a}.
+
+@item
+@var{dest} is compiled into @code{info} as the default directory
+for the documentation.
+
+@end enumerate
+
+@node Compilation, Installation, configure Options, Rebuilding
+@unnumberedsec Compilation
+
+After you've run @code{configure} (which writes the final
+@file{Makefile} in each directory), compilation is straightforward.
+To compile all the programs in the Developer's Kit, run:
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+@b{make}
+@end example
+@end cartouche
+
+The overall @file{Makefile} propagates the value of the @code{CC}
+variable explicitly, so that you can easily control the compiler used in
+this step. @code{CFLAGS} is treated the same way. For instance, to
+build the compiler a second time, using @sc{gcc} to compile itself
+(after building and installing it in the alternate directory
+@file{/local/gnu}), you might use
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+@b{make CC=/local/gnu/H-sun4/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-O}
+@end example
+@end cartouche
+
+The conventional targets @samp{all}, @samp{install}, and @samp{clean}
+are supported at all levels of @file{Makefile}. Other targets are
+supported as well, as appropriate in each directory; please read the
+individual @file{Makefile} for details. Each @file{Makefile} in the
+source directories includes ample comments to help you read it. If you
+are not familiar with @code{make}, refer to @ref{Overview,,Overview of
+@code{make}, make.info, GNU Make: A Program for Directing
+Recompilation}.
+
+@node Installation, , Compilation, Rebuilding
+@unnumberedsec Installation
+
+Whether you configure an alternative path using @code{-prefix}, or you
+use the default installation path @file{/usr/local}, you can install the
+software by executing:
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+@b{make install}
+@end example
+@end cartouche
+
+@node Removing, Cygnus-FSF, Rebuilding, Top
+@unnumbered Removing Parts of the Developer's Kit
+You can use the @code{pkgrm} command to remove either part of this
+release from where @code{pkgadd} installed it.
+
+To do this, call @code{pkgrm} with either or both of the arguments
+@samp{GNUDEVTkit} (to remove binaries) or @samp{GNUDEVTsrc} (to remove
+source). For example, suppose you never look at the source, and are
+running short of disk space; you can remove the source, while leaving
+the rest of the Progressive Release undisturbed, as follows:
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+eg# @b{/usr/sbin/pkgrm GNUDEVTsrc}
+@end example
+@end cartouche
+
+To remove the complete Progressive Release of the Developer's Kit from
+your system (if, eventually, you no longer want it), specify both
+package names as arguments to @code{pkgrm}

+@unnumbered Cygnus Releases and the FSF
+
+Most of the tools in this Developer's Kit are originally from the Free
+Software Foundation (FSF). You can get versions of all these tools
+from the FSF as well as from Cygnus. In general, Cygnus Progressive
+Releases add to FSF software in the following ways:
+@c UPDATE! more differences bet Cygnus/FSF releases?
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Commercial support is available. Cygnus adds value to FSF releases in
+large measure by offering outstanding support services.
+@item
+Coordination. The tools in your Developer's Kit are certified to work
+together; you need not worry about tools being out of step with each other.
+@item
+Bug fixes. A Progressive Release includes many fixes, already integrated
+into the programs. Cygnus repairs bugs discovered during testing, and
+also tracks and includes bug fixes developed for other Cygnus customers
+or distributed over the Internet.
+@item
+Bug reporting. Cygnus releases include the tool @code{send_pr}, which
+you can use to make sure your problem reports receive prompt attention,
+and are also incorporated in our future tests.
+@item
+Documentation. Cygnus revises and adds to available FSF
+documentation to give you better descriptions of all the software tools.
+@item
+Stability. Cygnus tests (and uses) all the programs it releases.

+@unnumbered About Cygnus Support
+
+Cygnus Support was founded in 1989 to provide commercial support for
+free software. Cygnus supplies products and services that benefit
+advanced development groups by allowing them to use state-of-the-art
+tools without having to maintain them. With Cygnus Support, sites that
+once were forced to do their own tool support can recover that valuable
+staff time. Former users of proprietary software now may choose
+supported free software, combining the advantages of both worlds.
+
+Free software is faster, more powerful, and more portable than its
+proprietary counterparts. It evolves faster because users who want to
+make improvements are free to do so. Cygnus tracks these
+improvements and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready
+for commercial use, then backs this software with comprehensive
+support.
+
+With Cygnus Support as your partner, you will have the software and
+the support you need to meet your business objectives. Cygnus
+is intimately familiar with this software from extensive experience
+using, debugging, and implementing it. You get direct access to the
+most qualified support people: the authors of the software.
+
+We provide ``vintage'' releases---the most stable versions, which have
+been though even more extensive use and testing---or up-to-the minute
+``progressive'' releases, for those who need the very latest version.
+
+Because all our improvements are also free software, you can
+distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers,
+without extra cost.
