It is as easy as
  pkgadd -d http://get.opencsw.org/now
  /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -i git

Make sure to have
  PATH=$PATH:/opt/csw/bin
  MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/csw/share/man
before calling "git".

See here for details

See lf64(5) and lfcompile(5) for details on the needed flags.

I missed the start of the thread. Anything specific I can help with on
Solaris issues?
