I'm guessing that Sun Studio along with jds-cbe runs using the JRE/Java etc which is why it doens't need the X11 framework?
Actually Sun Studio doesn't use JRE-Java nor does the jds-cbe. Its really straightforward and doesn't utilize an integrated graphic environment the way some other developement products do with 'Studio' in the name :)
I am hoping that is the case as I'm running Solaris inside VMs and having trouble with bringing up the GUI desktop interface on OpenSolaris although it comes up withour a problem on Solaris 10. I thought it was Solaris that had problems with drivers etc. but it had no problems running OpenSolaris inside a VM on the same VM Host fails to bring up the desktop.
Either way, it's awesome if I don't need to have the X11 framework in place to compile FS in Solaris. I'm sure you'll have very little problem with this, just install sun studio on your system with the instructions for your flavor of [Open]Solaris along with the jds-cbe and your good to go.
