Any guides of how to port from Linux to Solaris ?

[mist dragon]

Hi!

We need to port some c++ software, including device drivers from Linux
to both sparc and x86 solaris 9. Could anyone point me to documents or
url's on this ?

Errr.. since when does linux support c++ device drivers?

Or do you mean user-land "drivers"? like the upcoming Mesa video "drivers",
perhaps?
You cant use C++ in the kernel of either Solaris OR linux, as far as I'm
aware. Not a meaningful level of C++, anyways.
