[Radiance-general] Solaris Compiles again...

[Lars O. Grobe]

Hi!

Does anybody have a license of Sun Forte C allowing him to build some 
Radiance binaries for Ultrasparc II / III?

I have LOTS of trouble here to compile radiance on Solaris at all (the old 
sys_nerr, sys_errlist thing, I had to change my include files, changing only 
radiance's error.c didn't help), and the binaries produced by gcc 3.2.2 
(32bit, I didn't get it to compile radiance as 64 bit app, and I also don't 
know if this would improve things) are not really performant. I tried the 
"radiance-benchmerk2" by Paul Bourke, and got results for my Ultrasparc III 
CPUs equal to P4s at the same frequencies. I hope that Sun's native compilers 
would help here a lot.

Is it worth tryiing to use Sun's optimized math libraries with radiance?

CU, Lars.
