<para>Solaris has long been well-supported by Nmap. Sun even donated a complete SPARCstation to the project, which is still being used to test new Nmap builds. For this reason, many Solaris users compile and install from source code as described in <xref linkend="inst-source" />.</para>
<para>Users who prefer native Solaris packages will be pleased to
learn that
Steven Christensen<indexterm><primary>Christensen, Steven</primary></indexterm>
does an excellent job of maintaining
Nmap packages at <ulink url="http://www.sunfreeware.com" /> for all modern Solaris versions and architectures. Instructions are
on his site, and are generally very simple: download the
appropriate Nmap package for your version
of Solaris, decompress it, and then run <command>pkgadd -d <replaceable>packagename</replaceable></command>.
As is generally the case with contributed binary packages, these
Solaris packages are simple and quick to install. The advantages of
compiling from source are that a newer version may be available and
you have more flexibility in the build process.

<para>Solaris has long been well-supported by Nmap, though we rely
heavily on the Nmap community to help keep it that way. We recommend
compiling and installing Nmap from source as described in <xref
linkend="inst-source" />. If you have trouble, try sending a report
with full details to the <citetitle>nmap-dev</citetitle> mailing
list<indexterm><primary><citetitle>nmap-dev</citetitle> mailing
list</primary></indexterm>, as described in <xref
linkend="man-bugs"/>. Also let us know if you develop a patch which
improves Solaris support so we can incorporate it into
Nmap for the benefit of other Solaris users.</para>
