[hylafax-users] Binary distribution with Solaris 10 and x86 (intel)

[Andrew <andrew@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I thought I might want to start using HylaFax.

I went to download a binary distribution.
But it lists only "...-sparc...".

Will it work with PC (x86 Intel Celeron)?
Or should I compile?

The download site lists the binaries as listed below.
For Solaris 10 I presume I should use only the Fax (perhaps a server @ 1602 KB), and a client (@ 482 KB).
Am I correct?

1602 KB - HylaFAX-4.1.2-sparc.pkg.gz
4659 KB - HylaFAX-4.1.3-sparc.pkg
482 KB - HylaFAX-client-4.1.2-sparc.pkg.gz
1365 KB - HylaFAX-client-4.1.3-sparc.pkg
5289 KB - ghostscript-6.0-sol8-sparc-local.gz
903 KB - tiff-3.5.6-sol8-sparc-local.gz

The same question pertains to the source code download. Namely:
151 KB - afm-tar.Z (what is this?)
1379 KB - hylafax-4.2.1.tar.gz (downloaded)
1343 KB - hylafax-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz (downloaded, just in case)
929 KB - tiff-v3.5.7.tar.gz (do I need this? see my OS)
165 KB - zlib-1.1.3.tar.gz (do I need this?)

Suppose I download, and compile the source code.
Will it self-install?
Will it be managed and tracked like other packages in the operating system?
Will it conflict with anything? (Maybe modify my standard serail drivers in the OS..., or cause anything crash...)

By the way, now the version 4.2.0 is available in source code.
So perhaps I'd better use that, rather than the old binary.

Alternatively anyone can suggest other fax software.
Perhaps less bulky. I am not say HylaFax is bulky. I don't know it. I ask just in case.

Andrew
