# RunningOnSolaris

MLton runs fine on Solaris.

## Notes

- You must install the `binutils`, `gcc`, and `make` packages. You can find out how to get these at sunfreeware.com.

- Making the documentation requires that you install `latex` and `dvips`, which are available in the `tetex` package.

## Known issues

- Bootstrapping on the Sparc architecture is so slow as to be impractical (many hours on a 500MHz UltraSparc). For this reason, we strongly recommend building with a cross compiler.
