Hi,

I ran into some problems while compiling the FVWM distribution
on Solaris 5.6
uname -a : SunOS solls1 5.6 Generic_105181-10 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-5_10
compiling w/ gcc :
gcc -v : gcc version 2.7.2.1

I tried acc with no luck.
SC3.0.1 7/13/94
acomp: SC3.0.1 7/13/94 Sun C 3.0.1

This problem comes at first from the M_ERROR macro
which is present in /usr/include/sys/stream.h.
This was in Fvwmcpp.c
This was an easy fix, since I discovered that on some places
a conditonnal code could be seen :
#ifdef RPLAY
#undef M_ERROR /* Solaris fix */
#endif
So I undef M_ERROR ...
Then a new problem arrived ... this time, this was NBBY ...
I ignored it ... Since a bigger problem came out :

Basically, this model.h defines a model (but I do not have a clue
about what it is right now), and if no model is defined, it
complains. There are two models : _ILP32 and _LP64.
Anyway, when I force the definition of one or another, this
is not any better :

/usr/include/netinet/in.h:287: field `imr_interface' has incomplete type
-----------

Ok, this output is a bit big ...
Sorry about that.

You might wonder why I tried acc ... just because I supposed
there might be some conflicts between the gcc includes and the
Solaris includes ...

I just wanted to know if somebody ran into similar problems on
Solaris. And if yes, what would be a quick fix ... without having
to check everything in the /usr/include includes for possible
conflicts, etc ...


Thanks for your help.
Anyway, this is the first time I try to configure this on Solaris,
this ran just perfectly under Linux ... but this is a different system
:)
