Binaries
========

The tarballs in this directory contain binary images of the Arduino development
environment, see http://www.arduino.cc/.  The tarballs include the toolchain
needed by the Arduino development environment, for example avr-gcc.

    arduino-0017-bins-i386.tar.7z
    arduino-0017-bins-i386.tar.bz2

The tarballs have a number of dependencies:

* You need to be running OpenSolaris build 113 or higher for the FT232R serial
  chip used by the Arduino boards to be supported.

* You need to have the following packages installed: SUNWgnu-readline,
  SUNWgnu-mp and SUNWgnu-mpfr.  If you don't already have these installed,
  use "pfexec pkg install <pkg>" to install the neccessary packages.

* The Arduino development environment is written in Java, so you need to have
  the JRE installed - 'pfexec pkg install SUNWj6rt' to install it.

Uncompress the tarball and run 'arduino-0017/arduino' to start the development
environment.

Building from source
====================

Also included is a snapshot of the source used to build the above binaries:

    arduino-0017-src-i386.tar.bz2

To build from source, follow these steps:

    $ svn checkout http://arduino.googlecode.com/svn/tags/0017/ arduino-read-only
    $ bzcat arduino-0017-src-i386.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
    $ cd arduino-read-only/build/solaris
    $ ./dist.sh

Notes

* The Arduino repository contains binary files so a simple patch isn't possible.
  The source bundle contains replacement binaries.

* The source bundle contains a tarball of the avr-gcc binaries.  When running
  dist.sh this is extracted and added to the binary tarball that is created.
  The script used to build the avr-gcc binaries is included in the build/solaris
  directory.
