You'll need egcs, Gnu Make, indent and flex installed from the packages there 
(Get the Solaris 2.6 ones if Solaris 7 ones don't exist).  Plus all the graphics 
libraries you can get.  You'll also find the pre-compiled stuff at 
http://chaos.crhc.uiuc.edu/~chan/enlightenment/ useful for graphics libraries, 
thought the Enlightenment build there is *old*.

Then fetch all the tarballs of GTK+/GLIB, Enlightenment, Gnome, etc, unpack them 
and "./configure; make; make install" does everything you need =O)

Given time, I might package up my builds here, when it gets more stable.  But 
I'm sure someone will do it before me =O)
