Re: gnome-libs, compiling with gcc-2.95.2, on solaris 8

["Ben Taylor" <sol7x86 hotmail com>]

Because gnome-libs-1.2.x doesn't support a --with-db=<path>,
you either have to have the environment variable
LDFLAGS="-R<your db path/lib> -L<your db path/lib>"
exported when you configure, or hack up configure.  I haven't
had time, nor the experience with autoconf to figure out where
one would put the "--with-db=<path>" autoconf code (nor have
I coded it).  Additionally, you will need to add to an exported
CFLAGS variable the "-I<your db path/include>" before you
configure so the compile will not fail looking for the include
files needed.

(Note: -R is a Solarisism, defining the path for the runtime
linker so that you don't have to use a LD_LIBRARY_PATH varaible)

Additionally, if you compiled your berkeley db with c++ extensions,
you will need to add the "--enable-std+++" flag when configuring
gnome-libs-1.2.8

Lastly, because your BerekeleyDB is not in a standard place, you
will have to hack up gnome-config and gnomeConf.sh to include
the -R flag on appropriate lines, and add the -R/-L<berkeleyDB>/lib
line to anyline including -ldb (specifically GNOME_LIBS and
GNOMEUI_LIBS in gnomeConf.sh)  Once you do this, the rest of the
software builds without a hitch.
