Solaris specific cmake files missing in XMP toolkit

Question

XMP_Config.cmake references Solaris specific files:
        execute_process(COMMAND "uname" OUTPUT_VARIABLE OSNAME)
        string(TOUPPER "${OSNAME}" OSNAME)
        if ( ${OSNAME} MATCHES SUNOS)
            execute_process(COMMAND "uname" "-p" OUTPUT_VARIABLE PLATFORM_SUNOS_ARCH)
            string(TOUPPER "${PLATFORM_SUNOS_ARCH}" PLATFORM_SUNOS_ARCH)
            if ( ${PLATFORM_SUNOS_ARCH} MATCHES SPARC)
         include(${XMP_ROOT}/build/XMP_sunos_sparc.cmake)
            else()
         include(${XMP_ROOT}/build/XMP_sunos_intel.cmake)
            endif()
        else()
     include(${XMP_ROOT}/build/XMP_Linux.cmake)
        endif()
However, these files do not exist in the build directory (or anywhere in the package).
I am trying to get this compiled on Solaris, so this is causing me grief.
Where can I get these files?

Hi Bejhan,
    XMP SDK is not supported on Solaris platform. In past we provided support for Solaris and by mistake this code was left in SDK. I can help you to build the xmptoolkit for Solaris but you have to do some more work on your side to get it done. Again, you may face crashes on SPARC Solaris due to endian (big & little).
   Please follow the following steps in order to build it on Solaris
  1. Go to the build/shared directory
  2. Create a copy SharedConfig_Linux.cmake and name it SharedConfig_sunos_sparc.cmake OR SharedConfig_sunos_intel.cmake depends whether you are using SPARC or intel processor.
  3. Make some changes in newly created cmake files
     a. set XMP_PLATFORM_FOLDER to intelsolaris<_x64> or sparcsolaris<_x64> (depending upon 32/64 bit machine. for 64-bit machine add _x64 suffix)
     b. Set XMP_GCC_PATH=<gcc path>
     c. Set XMP_GCC_LIBPATH=<gcc libpath>
4. Make a copy of ToolchainRelEng.cmake to ToolchainRelEng_sunos_<intel/sparc>.cmake and fix the gcc path's
Hope this will help you.
