Re: Problem building garnome 0.24.2 on Solaris 9 - HELP needed

[Eric Damphousse <ericdamphousse darwingroup net>]

Hi Bob and Matt

Bob, I did as you proposed, but the same problem, in the same order appears.
Matt, I have double checked the make I am running, and it is the GNU one,
version 3.80. I also checked ar, as, ld all GNU, all version 2.13 (they came
from the binutil package). Are there any more variables or things I need
to change that do not know about. What does error 255 mean. From my googleing
around, I could not find any precise definition of this error.

Thanks for all your help!
