Are there any grass 6.0 binaries available for sun solaris?

So far I am not aware of grass 6.0 binaries for sun solaris, a
volunteer having such a machine is needed to compile the software.
I could talk to the admin people here and try to set up something.
However, I heard that there may be differences between Solaris releases...
Maybe a binary compiled here may not work on Solaris other than 9.0
(if I'm not mistaken by it's identity.
What sould be compilation times and schedules?
Should I compile every branch in the cvs or just prior to release?
Anyways, it seems better if the first compiler/maintainer also doubles
as user/tester, so he can first test the files and maybe recompile if
needed.
I may be able to compile, but not to test thoroughly, since I don't do
any GIS at work.

Well I think they should be upwardly compatible. Solaris 2.7 or 8 would be a good base version I think.
I have compiled the current 6.1 CVS on an Ultra 5 machine with a non-quite-complete install of Solaris 8. OpenGL doesn't seem to be available so that is left out. As are Postgresql and mysql. The binaries will also require various pieces of sunfreeware from sunfreeware.com or your local mirror.
They are not very polished at all and somebody else could do better, but we have lots of Solaris machines sitting around in my current job and I thought I'd do a little bit to help out. I also included GDAL and PROJ within the distribution.
