Will Solaris 8 binary run on Solaris 2.6?

Hi!
If a C++ application is compiled on Solaris 8, would it run on Solaris 2.6? Are there any flags that need to be set to get binary compatibility across OS versions? Are the dynamic libraries (Cstd, Crun etc.) binary compatible?
Any responses would be of great help,
TIA,
Mark

Running applications on older OSes than they were built on is not supported and will often result in problems.
Just one reason for this is that newer OSes can incorporate functionality and library interfaces (APIs) that do not exist on older OS platforms.
If compatibility with Solaris 2.6 is needed, then the application should be written to comply with the Solaris ABI (Application Binary Interface) and built on Solaris 2.6. Likewise, if OSes older than 2.6 need to be supported, the application should be compiled on the oldest supported OS.
Due to Sun's desire to maintain backward compatibility,
applications which are ABI compliant and are compiled on older OSes should run fine on newer OSes.

  • If I buy a iPhone 5 at the store, will it still be running iOS 6 or 7?

    I want to buy the iPhone 5 (not the iPhone 5s or c) because it has iOS 6 on it instead of iOS 7 (which I do not like) and wondering if the people at the store still have the iPhones that run iOS 6 on them. Thanks!

    It is unlikely that you will find an iPhone 5 in any store for sale.
    The iPhone 5 has not been available for sale since November of 2013 when the 5S and 5C were replaced.
    The only way to acquire an iPhone 5 at this point is via the used/refurbished market.  Unless you buy a used iPhone that was never upgraded, you will not find one running iOS6.

  • Will Apple Genius Bar run Diagnostic tests on my computer or do I need to set up a special appointment?

    I got my Mac OSX with Lion about 9 months ago. Two months after I bought it, it crashed. Apple gave no direct explanation and ended up wiping the computer. Two months after that it happended again. That time they gave me a knew hard drive but they still didn't give me an explanation. Then recenty it crashed (kernal panicked) after I downloaded the thunderbolt application. That time apple was able to restore everything.
    Unfortunately, my computer is now showing many of the same symptoms (slow loading, safari freezing, applications needing to be forced quit...etc) as it did before it crashed the first two times. I should mention that when I say "crashed" I mean my computer wouldn't turn on again. Now I am afraid to turn my computer off or even let it go to sleep. I know this isn't good for it but I don't know what else to do.
    So my question is, will Apple Genius Bar run some diagnostic tests for me or give me a special lesson? Or do I need to pay for a special lesson? I just want a trained person to run some diagnostics and go through the basics of updating, shutting down, and restarting my computer with me. That way if anything goes wrong they see it first hand.
    One more thing, could it be something I am doing. I have downloaded Flash Player but only from the Flash website. But I have heard Flash/Mac problems. Or is there anything else I could be doing or downloading?

    With Apple you Always Need to Make an Appointment. Otherwise they will turn you away. Even if the place is empty.

  • HT1751 i bought a new, larger external hard drive. copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive. iTunes will not start or run unless old hard drive plugged in.??

    I bought a new, larger external hard drive. I have my iTunes library on the external drive instead of C: drive, Using Windows 7.
    I copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive.
    iTunes will not start or run unless the old hard drive is plugged in.
    If I disconnect the old drive iTunes shuts down.
    Any ideas. ??

    Hello kskip,
    Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on.  It sounds like you have setup iTunes to save new content to your new external hard drive in iTunes>Preferences, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the new external drive.  You have one last step to take to have iTunes point to your new external hard drive rather than your old one:
    Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    You should see the following screen:
    Additional information
    If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
    Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.

  • Will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?

    hi there guys,
    will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
    I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
    Many thanks for any help you can offer !
    Simon

    SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
    Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

    No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

    If you have a JavaVM on your Linux,
    you can run the Oracle XML Parser for Java there.
    Otherwise you can use our C or C++ version.

  • Will Acrobat 9 Pro run using Windows 7?

    Will Acrobat 9 Pro run using Windows 7?

    This machine is Win7, 32-bit, and AA 9 has run on it from day one. Folks have even reported AA 8 running on both 32 and 64-bit versions of Win7, though there were some issues with the 64-bit version. Win7 is not one of the certified versions for AA 9, but I suspect you would have no problems. Win8.1 might be a different story. It sounds like you are considering upgrading your machine. I can not say without question you will have no problems, but my guess is that it will work fine. It would be a good idea to consider upgrading if you have a chance and the cash.

  • Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?

    "Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?"
    I am looking for the cheapest way possible to run Logic Pro 9 and will purchase a second hand mac mini if it will run the software.
    Thank you!

    Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of  Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
    As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

  • Will iPhoto 9.3 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    Will iPhoto 9.3 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8? The App store on one of my 2 computers (both with iPhoto v.9.2.3 and both running 10.6.8) says an iPhoto update (9.3) is available, but when I check at the App store it says the min. requirement is 10.7.4. On my MacBook Pro offering the App store update, I bought iPhoto 11 originally from the App store. On my iMac, which is newer, iPhoto 11 (which is version 9) came with the computer and I have always got iPhoto updates through Software Update, but Software Update is not offering me an iPhoto update on that computer. So I am thinking that the App store notice on the MacBook Pro may not be accurate.

    No  --  it requires the latest version of Lion - 10.7.4 as the App store tells you

    That's why I included the image because it is not listed in Task Manager. That would be easy.It can be found in Organizer and then Edit - Preferences. Find the tab on Auto Analyze and turn-off the At Start-Up option. You can then download Raw 7.2
