Getting Sun Studio Express 7/08 on OpenSolaris 2008.05 Live CD (part 2)
This is an addendum to the previous post on running Sun Studio Express 7/08 on top of barebones OpenSolaris 2008.05.
As others have noticed, OpenSolaris 2008.05 LiveCD doesnt come with headers, etc that we need to compile apps.
So, heres a short cookbook of what to execute before tarring the Sun Studio Express 7/08 tarball.

Step 1, "prepare your system" with essential updates:

$ pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg@0.5.11-0.86
$ pfexec pkg install entire@0.5.11-0.86

Next, make sure the following OS dependencies are installed:

$ pfexec pkg install SUNWhea@0.5.11-0.86
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWarc@0.5.11-0.86
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWj6dev@0.5.11-0.86

That should get most of the stuff needed (unless you need other headers like X11 to get applications compiled.. its unfortunate that there isnt a developer cluster I can recommend. Or maybe, I just dont know)
For more information, refer to this Wiki for up to date details on these issues.
