i'm trying to do the "make World" for Xvnc, and i keep running into the
following error:


# make World

Building Release 6.3 of the X Window System.

I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf
to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS.

cd ./config/imake && make -f Makefile.ini BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="" clean

i'm sure it has somethign to do with the "language optional software
package.... blah"

first of all, why is this using cc? i have gcc installed. maybe i'm totallyw
rong here, but still. what gives?

Which is SUN's C compiler package and you don't have it.

Have you read all README's and INSTALL files that come with the package?

Try to edit the Makefile to use gcc as cc CC=gcc or similar.

Also try gmake if you still have a problem.

Otherwise get a precompiled vnc, why invent the wheel ...
www.blastwave.com or www.sunfreeware.com

hth

well shit... i never knew about blastwave.com, so thanks for that post. as
for the README, i did read it, but it didn't have anything i found useful to
troubleshoot this problem.

i really would have liked to use a package, but sunfreeware only has a vnc
package for solaris8.

tony, thanks for those links. i'm gonna give fixing the make world issue
before i use the package.

If you are on S9, then vnc S8 should be fine otherwise S9 might have a bug.

I was having the same problem. I changed
Xvnc/config/imake/Makefile.ini so "CC = gcc" and that gets me farther.
It's still compiling as I write this.
