Port Status
SCO OpenServer is a Tier 2 Port
Testing Details
We build and test the SCO OpenServer port on a system with the following specifications:
- ESXi Virtual Machine
- SCO OpenServer 5.0.7
- gcc v2.95.3
- autoconf 2.54
- automake 1.7.1
This port requires significant manual intervention to build, given the old version of GNU autotools in play.
Required Kernel Tuning
You must set the maximum size of a shared memory segment to at least 6MB. This can be accomplished with the scoadmin utility.
Once this parameter is adjusted, you must re-link the kernel, also from scoadmin.
Port Challenges
The build system presents significant challenges.
