Bart:
If you want to help take a look at this, put the attached libcdio.spec
in your spec-files directory and the SUNWlibcdio.spec file in your
spec-files/Solaris directory and try to build (assuming you have the
CBE from the OpenSolaris website installed and Sun Studio 11 compiler).
I can't figure out how to get the code to compile.
You can also see the problem by grabbing the gtkpod spec files from
the extra-specs-tarball.
http://www.gnome.org/~gman/spec-files-extra-0.3.tar.bz2
and remove the "libgpod-0.3.2/src/db-itunes-parser.h" part of patch
libgpod-02-fixcompile.diff. You should see the same compile problem.
I'm pretty sure that this db-itunes-parser.h part of the patch is
really broken and probably doesn't work.
It would be great to get some help with this.
