MLton runs fine on Solaris. <h2 id="head-b05203cf89b60eb36609a1a8b7f3cafe0927486a">Known issues</h2>

    <ul>

    <li>
<p>
 You must install the <tt>binutils</tt>, <tt>gcc</tt>, and <tt>make</tt>  packages.  You can find out how to get these at  <a class="external" href="http://www.sunfreeware.com"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">sunfreeware.com</a> 
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 Making the documentation requires that you install <tt>latex</tt>  and <tt>dvips</tt>, which are available in the <tt>tetex</tt> package.  It  also requires <tt>hevea</tt>, for which we haven't yet tracked down a  package. 
</p>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 Bootstrapping is so slow as to be impractical (many hours on a  500MHz UltraSparc).  For this reason, we strongly recommend building  with a Linux to Solaris <a href="CrossCompiling">cross compiler</a>.
