Solaris build?

I don't know much about Solaris, but BleachBit works now on Windows, Linux, and at least one BSD. Every platform requires Python, GTK+, and PyGTK. Then you will need to add the paths for the cleaners: for example, Firefox on Linux is in ~/.mozilla/firefox (or something like that), and if this is different, you will need to add that path for Solaris. You don't have to mark it as Solaris, though, but a comment is helpful. Finally you need to search in the Python code for all the parts that look like the following

if sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
    system_cleaners_dir = '/usr/share/bleachbit/cleaners'
elif sys.platform == 'win32':
    system_cleaners_dir = os.path.join(bleachbit_exe_path, 'share\\cleaners\\')
elif sys.platform[:6] == 'netbsd':
    system_cleaners_dir = '/usr/pkg/share/bleachbit/cleaners'

And you will need to add a condition for Solaris.

OpenIndiana has the GNU Coreutils on it too. I tried running it from src on my Solaris machine and I got a few errors as you can imagine :P

  I'm on it. :)

  By the way, I ran Bleachbit right from src just to see what would
happen and here's the log:

It seems the cleanersdir is not defined. As described earlier, in Common.py you need to define paths for Solaris
