Setting Up A Basic Dev Environment

The default OmniOS install contains only runtime-oriented packages. It does not include a compiler, linker, system headers, etc. All of those things are available from the “omnios” publisher, so they are easy to install, but it's not obvious what the package names are.

To get a basic build environment set up, do the following with root privileges:

LTS

Currently r151014

# pkg install developer/gcc48

Stable

Currently r151020

# pkg install developer/gcc51

Old LTS

Currently r151006

# pkg install developer/gcc47 system/library/math/header-math

All releases

# pkg install \
  developer/build/autoconf \
  developer/build/automake \
  developer/lexer/flex \
  developer/parser/bison \
  developer/object-file \
  developer/linker \
  developer/library/lint \
  developer/build/gnu-make \
  library/idnkit \
  library/idnkit/header-idnkit \
  system/header \
  system/library/math

This will get you enough to build most C/C++ software.

Note that GCC installs into /opt/gcc-, so you'll need to add its “bin” directory to your path. For example, on r151020, you would add /opt/gcc-5.1.0/bin to your PATH.
