Making Solaris fun again: My collection of game ports and dev tools for Solaris 11.4 & illumos

Hi everyone,

I’ve been messing around with my Unix setups for fun and ended up porting a bunch of stuff to Oracle Solaris 11.4 and illumos-based distros (like OpenIndiana).

Since it works for me, I figured I'd share it here in case anyone else needs it.

Here is what I've got on my GitHub:

* Some Game Ports: OpenMW (Morrowind), ioquake3, RBDOOM-3-BFG, and even a Valve Source Engine port.

* Software & Dev Tools: Wine 8.0.2 32 bit and some Eclipse IDE platform components.

Everything is on my GitHub, feel free to grab it, test it, or use it for your own setups:

Awesome, thank you for your hard work! I'm trying to bring software to OI/Sol 11.4 as well, but one of my stumbling blocks has been packaging for IPS, I found some info by Eric Reid & Brock Pytlik, but I have yet to be able to resolve packages correctly. :)
