Re: gnome-vfs: Can anyone compile it on Solaris 2.6?

[Troy Carter <tcarter princeton edu>]

I have also been trying to compile gnome-vfs on solaris 2.6 for a while.
The problem is that libpthread on solaris 2.6 does not have recursive
mutexes.  This is only in Solaris 7 or 8.  So, if gnome-vfs continues to
use them, it will not compile on solaris 2.6.  I think that they are
being removed from gnome-vfs, at least this is the indication I have got
poking around mailing list archives.  I have been trying to compile
gnome-vfs HEAD from cvs (anoncvs).  It seems that the recursive mutexes
are gone (at least it seems that way from briefly perusing the source,
not that I am a hacker), but now I can't get it to compile for other
reasons (if anyone is listening who could help, the compile error I am
getting is:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
gnome-vfs-application-registry.c: In function
`strip_trailing_whitespace':
gnome-vfs-application-registry.c:668: warning: subscript has type `char'

)
