 ## TL;DR
 
 More or less, it’s successful. I am pleasantly surprised.  
-There’s Python 3.12, OpenSSL 3.3.1 and a lot of modern software working on Solaris 10 SPARC!

 I use gcc 5.5 from OpenCSW. I installed Sun Studio 12.3 but I wasn't successful in building anything in the pkgsrc tree, and most of the packages need gcc.
 Also, I built gcc 9.5 from source, see [GCC 9](#gcc-9).
 
 ## Why Solaris 10?
 
 I have Sun Ultra 60 and Sun Blade 100, Solaris 11 cannot be installed on them.  
-OpenIndiana can, but it needs **zfs** and both of them don't have enough RAM.   
+OpenIndiana can, but it needs **zfs**. I purchased RAM for the Blade and it now has 1.5G... would be enough? I'll give it a try. Later.  
 There's also another illumos-based system called [Tribblix](https://tribblix.org), it looks nice but I decided to try on the original **Sun Solaris 10 (01/13, the latest one)**.
 
 I don't have access to original Oracle repositories for patches and updates. Then I have the system how it comes from the DVD.

+`groff` is a text processor which can be found in each system. pkgsrc's build enables `groff-docs` by default and needs `py-pdf`.  
+as it's said on python website, `py-pdf` doesn't need any dependencies in general, but if image extraction is needed, it needs `Pillow` which needs **Rust**. Fail.

+## Adding Solaris fonts

+When I built `www/netsurf` and started it, there were no letters, only squares. Solaris has its own fonts and we just need to add them to pkgsrc's `fontconfig`, creating `/usr/pkg/etc/fontconfig/local.conf`:

 ## The system python
 
 I think it's a good way to have `python3` and `python` symlinked to `/usr/pkg/bin/python3.12`. There's `/usr/sfw/bin/python` coming with Solaris, its version is 2.3.3. Quite old, eh?
