Re: [Wrapper-user] Which version of JSW started support for solaris x86 64 bit?

[Leif M. <lei...@ta...>]

Tomer,
It is most likely possible to get the 64-bit Solaris x86 version to
build on older versions if you backport the make files.  The first
version that we released however was 3.3.0.

The 64-bit Solaris Sparc version had been released when we did several
of the earlier releases.

Cheers,
Leif
