[Bf-committers] Compiling for Solaris with Sun CC, next round

[Timothy Baldridge]

I was working on this for a while, but got hung up on some of the
libs. IIRC I simply modified the scons files to always use CC. CC
should be able to compile both.

Besides this, how close are you to using cc for compilation? If you
can get a clean build using CC we can turn on the full optimizations
which a) will probably do better at SSE than GCC and also we can turn
on the auto parallel features. I saw some (no doubt heavily biased)
reports by Sun that showed some great performance gains from 3D
rendering even without auto threading.

Getting Blender to build with CC might just make me switch my main
workstation to Solaris sometime soon.
