95% of the time I don't have any troubles with these things. Once, and I beleive it was compiling Berkeley DBM, I needed the GNU version of bison and flex/lex (or whatever). But other that that I don't come across too many other troubles. (Although if you are trying to port anything from linux to Solaris you are _always_ going to have troubles... specifically when it deals with anything network releated. The way Solaris and Linux handle the packet is like night and day) > > The kinda of errors i get a like vfork.h not found, bstrings.h not found, > and i dunno if its just cos i havent installed something, but i can never > find a definite answer, and then i tend to go find a binary somewhere i > can use, and move on. i'd rather fix the prob tho. vfork and bstrings are from the old SunOS 4.x. To me, and I could be wrong, whatever you are compiling is seeing the system as SunOS and not Solaris. Although the kernel forking model hasn't changed from SunOS to Solaris that file isn't there anymore. Also vfork.h is a kernel header file. So GNU'ifying the system won't put it there. -e _______________________________________________ Bits mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sugoi.org/mailman/listinfo/bits
