I'm working on a cross-platform application for which I would like to include Solaris/SPARC support but I no longer have access to a server. I have an OpenSolaris VM on VirtualBox but I don't know of any SPARC VM which I could use to compile and test on. Did I miss something? Otherwise, do you know of solaris/SPARC shell account services with the gcc toolchain, preferably free ones?

  • qemu offers SPARC computer simulation. – osgx Jun 15 '11 at 10:10

    @osgx - I'm researching the same thing and was looking at qemu, but everything I've seen implies that it's not up to running a full Solaris SPARC install. Is this something you've had luck with? – Aron Jun 16 '11 at 17:07
  • @osgx thanks for you reply. @Aron I'll try to install OpenSolaris SPARC on qemu next week. I'll let you know how it went. – mac Jun 17 '11 at 17:24

That question is similar to this one. I haven't seen anything about Solaris running on qemu, otherwise you can get SPARC hosting for $10 at polarhome.

    I'll check polarhome out if I don't have luck with qemu. thanks – mac Jun 17 '11 at 17:26
  • I ended up getting polarhome accounts for Solaris/SPARC and AIX. It took w while to get my application processed but the service lived up to my expectations. thanks – mac Jan 21 '12 at 20:06

You can get a free SPARC emulator from http://www.stromasys.ch/virtualization-solutions/virtual-sparcstation/.
