Failed compiling GTK+2.3.5 on Solaris 8 using Sun C 5.5

["David L. Cooper II" <cooperdl worldnet att net>]

I encountered several problems while attempting to compile the gtk2.3.5 on Solaris 8. It isn't clear to me if it is a development environment problem or not. I am able to build gtk2.2.x without these problems.

 

First, while attempting to compile Pango, an error occurs while compiling ottest that indicates no glib libraries can be found. I checked the Makefile and they didn't seem to be specified for the ottest target. After adding them to the ottest target, it compiles fine.

 

While compiling gtk+, I receive the following errors during the compilation of gdkasync.c:

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
