-Release Notes
---------------
-Hey folks,
-
-I just went through the process of building and using the freeimage library
-on Solaris 9. Things don't work out of the box so I thought I would share my
-experiences in case someone else wants to do the same.
-
-I'm using Solaris 9, and I have installed all the development libraries, make,
-and the gcc 3.3.2 found on sunfreeware.com.
-
-You have to use the make from sunfreeware because the Solaris 9 make program
-chokes hard on FreeImages makefiles.
-
-First thing I had to do was modify the main FreeImage makefile:
-
-1. go to the $(SHAREDLIB): line and replace the $(CC) line with the following.
-(there are 2 corrections)
-
-$(CC) -s -G -Wl,-soname=$(LIBNAME) -o $@ $(MODULES) $(LIBRARIES)
-
-The two changes are -G instead of -shared, and the = sign instead of a comma
-after the -soname.
-
-2. change INSTALLDIR = /usr/lib to INSTALLDIR = /usr/local/lib
-
-This is because the sunfreeware tools assume the libs being built will reside
-in /usr/local/lib and thus set the default linker search paths to that. Another
-solution for this would be to use the -R and -L linker options, but I chose
-the easy way :)
-
-That's it! You can now use freeimage.
-
-Also, if you have an autoconf/automake project that links against FreeImage,
-you can use the following in your configure.in, it works rather well for me:
-
-AC_CHECK_LIB(freeimage-3.5.0, FreeImage_Initialise, [],
- [AC_MSG_ERROR([libfreeimage-3.5.0.so required and missing. See
-http://freeimage.sourceforge.net.]) ])
-
-the AC_CHECK_LIB macro will not only find the library, it will automatically
-link against it as well so you dont have to add it to your Makefile.am.
-
-I hope this helps someone!

-Installation
-------------
-Note: You will need to have root privileges in order to install the library in the /usr/local/lib directory.
-The installation process is as simple as this :
-1) Enter the FreeImage directory
-2) Build the distribution :
-make -f Makefile.solaris
-make -f Makefile.solaris install
-3) Clean all files produced during the build process
-make -f Makefile.solaris clean

-Release Notes for Solaris/Sparc
---------------------------------
-Under Solaris/Sparc, you will need to modify the following line :
-COMPILERFLAGS = -O3
-modified into
-COMPILERFLAGS = -O3 -DBYTE_ORDER=BIG_ENDIAN -D__BIG_ENDIAN__
