Sorry, but I even fail to install Free Pascal. According to the instructions (e.g. from http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/solaris-austria.var the archive comes with an install script, but it doesn't. Manually copying the files doesn't work, as expected.

You just need only the latest (open)Solaris ppc binary, just the compiler itself!, provided you have the toolchain installed (like build-essential and the GNU compiler suite) and build fpc with "make clean all install PP=/the/path/to/your/ppc/ppc386"
I theory that should work on OpenIndiana. You can determine the missing dependencies for libraries afterwards. See if that helps.

First try if that compiler runs!  It should.  It is 2.6.4, so build 3.0.0 first. You 3.0.0 to build trunk. Otherwise I am mistaken but it is something I described from memory.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I assume that some paths, environment variables or access privileges were wrong. This may result from my lack of deep knowledge on Solaris-based systems and from the missing install script.
